He should be able to ride all except maybe Astro Orbitor & Tomorrowland Speedway. I don't know of any restrictions on those but I haven't done Astro Orbitor and I'm not sure they allow lap children on the speedway. All the rest allow lap children so he could not ride alone but he can ride all of them with you.

He should be able to on most if not all of the rides you listed. My daughter was 14 months old when we went in January and she really enjoyed Pooh's Ride
We also took her on Backlot Tour. Just a word of warning there are some really loud parts in this. My kids did okay but my friends 5 year was scared by the loud noises.
I took both my children on the Liberty Belle Riverboat last year (they were 5 months and just turned 2) they LOVED this boat ride!
I hope you have a wonderful trip

My dd rode almost all of these at 6mo (about 17lbs)....except the Astro Orbiter, the Mad Tea Party and the Speedway. The most bumpy was probably the safari at AK....I held her head gently to make sure she didn't bump it on my chin, or anything else hard. She seemed to enjoy it!

I'd skip the teacups unless no one in your 'cup' wants to 'spin' - it doesn't take much to start sliding around in that thing!

My 10 month old (17 lbs) rode 1,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,16 & 17 plus a lot more. The main thing is to hold onto him securely no matter how tame the ride seems. I think it was Pirates that had an unexpected little downhill movement that I didn't know about and she almost fell out of my lap. Some things like the movies are loud. I brought earplugs just in case but it didn't seem to bother her. Some things were loud to me! Also I had a little keychain pinlight that my 4 yr old asked for that he played with in the dark if he was bored! I also took bubbles to play with when we waited to do baby swaps on the bigger rides. It works great. Just let the CM know when you get in line and the second adult doesn't have to wait in the line, they usually go down the fastpass line or go back up the exit and may take older kids back for a second ride!That way you get to see a few adult things too.

Regarding TomorrowLand Speedway:

He can ride IF he will sit next to you. I have seen CMs specifically tell guests that a small child may sit next to them, but not on their laps, on this ride.
