NTA. I wouldn’t do any of this let alone with a small child. It’s too much to ask and it’s just begging for tantrums because he’s hungry or overtired or overstimulated or bored. Or difficulties involving vomiting or nappy changes.

The adults can also get tired and stressed, maybe get into fights.

It’s ultimately between you guys but I looked at that itinerary and it all looks like way too much.

I’m extremely antisocial and introverted irl so would probably refuse and if need be I would fake illness

its more a money thing for me. I spending all this money to go spend christmas with them and they decide "actually, we might not even do christmas here" is a but sucky.

Maybe tell them it’s too expensive to do it then.

Hopefully Mrs B agrees somewhat that 1k plus flights plus misc is too much.
