Hi Niki,
You're a smart Mom to plan ahead for your trip to Disney World.
There are many attractions that you'll be able to do as a family in all of the parks. Your 8 month old & 5 year old can ride any of the attractions where they meet the height requirements (HRs). You can find a list of the attractions with HRs by visiting the
Traveling with Little Ones section on the Disney World Website. There you will find a PDF file on the right side of that page that lists attractions at all of the theme parks that have HRs.
Bring something to help keep your little one entertained in line - favorite small toys, snacks, bubbles, etc. You can also play games like peek-a-boo. Be sure to give him/her breaks from the stroller. Try (it will be hard) to stick to nap and feeding schedules.
One of the best places to nurse in the parks is in the
Baby Care Centers located in each theme park. These centers offer places to feed and change the littlest Mouseketeers during their visits. Click
here for a video on what they have to offer.
