What are some must-have travel items when going on vacation with a toddler?

I am going to Disney in 2 weeks with my DS who is almost 3. I don't want to forget anything.

I bought things like a night light for the hotel, rain ponchos, spritzer fan, back pack..etc Any other suggestions?

hat for sun protection and sun block spray for the scalp. Have your own little handy medical kit (children's tylenol, bandaids, antibacterial ointment etc..)I'm sure the hotel will have a dvd player so some cartoon favorites or disney movies. I would bring his own blankets so that he can sleep with something familiar...

Always bring a thermometer and medicine (tylenol or motrin) - I learned this lesson once when we went away for the weekend to DC for a wedding. Alex woke up at 2am crying her head off, and felt feverish. But there was nothing I could do because all the pharmacies were closed. We waited until 7am, got a thermometer and tylenol and discovered her temp was 103.5 - I rushed to give her tylenol to bring it down and we had to rush back home to see the ped.

I know this might sound weird, but what about safety locks for the doors and maybe toilet? I get so nervous that my DD is going to open the door or run in the bathroom while I'm sleeping.
