But my queston is, isnt there a stroller pass or something for the parties travieling with small children? i remember when my brother was a baby we got a pass and could go through the exit, ride the ride, then switch riders. Do they still do that? or ami going to have to wait in line for 3 hours for everything lol.. (it is during spring break time)

Of course anything with a hight requirement is out. However, other than that, almost everything else is in. A very few rides require the child to sit with their own seat belt, other than height restricted rides the only two I encountered that I couldn't take my child on were Roger Rabit's Cartoon Spin and the Zyphers in DCA. Probably you will be more likely to want to leave the child in the stroller so the baby can continue to sleep, not because the baby can't ride. With a baby that young a stroller of your own that lays flat for sleeping, which they do, ALOT, is great, but I found my child was also happy sleeping in his Snugglie. My little guy is also very litterally little for his size, he was maybe 8lbs when we went. So, I found it easier to carry him most of the day in the snugglie, occaisionally switching off with my husband, than to deal with a stroller. One of us would have the baby and one would have the diper bag (in back pack form for ease). Just something to consider, that they stroller doesn't have to be a given. (I've found strollers most convient as portable lockers anyway. Maybe one of these days we'll just give it up and bring in a wheelbarrow. I have seen some with wagons, and that's not too far off.) That's just my opinion, your milage may vary. And you will find LOTS of people that have taken very young children to DLand here on the boards. I personally think that at a month old they are so portable, noise and lights generally don't bother them, they just sleep and sleep and so much easier than they will be in just a couple of months. (Though not as much fun, they definatly get more fun as the weeks go on.)
