We are taking our 13 month old granddaughter to Disneyworld for first time next month. Just looking for tips, suggestions, etc....I was looking online at dining options and I did not see whole milk available in alot of the quick service restaurants. Is it available for her? Also, we are taking our compact stroller along so she's comfortable. I'm thinking of getting a harness as she should be walking by then (she's starting to now). I've been to Disney multiple times but it's been awhile since I've taken a toddler LOL Thanks for any help/advice.

In theory, you can get whole milk in the parks at quick service and table service restaurants. But it's been so long, I can't remember if it was hard to find when I took my 15 month old there 7 years ago. Maybe you want to keep a gallon of it in your room for breakfast and bedtime?
Other tips:
Make sure you know where the baby care station is in each park.
Naptime - shady benches, quick restaurants and dark, boring attractions (any film in World Showcase, Carousel of Progress, etc.)
Don't be afraid to take a baby on a scary, dark ride - they have no idea what's going on as long as you're cheerful about it (ooh these ghosts are so funny!)

I've taken both my sons at that age (now 17/18). Interaction with the characters is the best, so find the meet & greets you want to enjoy and get loads of photos. LOADS! Also parades/shows seem to keep them entertained with shininess and fun music. It's A Small World, Pooh, Country Bears, Tiki Birds and Pirates should be on the docket for rides for the same reason. My older son loved pointing at everything on Pirates.

We've just returned to the UK from our 2 week Disney trip with our 14 month old. My top tip would be get a stroller fan, we bought one on eBay before we left and I don't know what we'd have done without it. Charged via USB and we had so many people ask us where we got it from.

We took our grandson for his first visit at 16 months age. We wondered if he would get anything out of it... HE LOVED IT!
It is helpful if your stroller has some sort of "awning" or shade to help keep the little one out of the sun. I'm sure you already plan to hang a bag on the back of the stroller for cargo. One of the best tips I can give you is to tie some sort of flagging tape, ribbons, or something of that sort to the stroller handles to make it easier to find yours among the hundreds of other strollers when you exit a ride. That can save you several minutes of searching, especially when the CMs have re-packed the stroller parking and it is not where you left it.
Another poster mentioned knowing where the baby care stations are; restroom locations are part of the MDE app on your cellphone now.
Be prepared to do a lot of carrying in the lines for the attractions.
Buy extra memory for your camera. You will probably need it!
