Please Suggest! Yellowstone...

Well we got RESERVATIONS in West Yellowstone! Thank goodness. We considered inside the park which did have options but it would be a bit more difficult as we would have to get a LOT of water for us that we would need to carry in as well as showers, and bring a generator.
To make life easier, we have opted to stay at a place with water and electric, so no generator, no worries for carrying water, and we can cook ourselves.
Thanks for all the recommendations!
We will stock our own groceries for the entire trip (hopefully) as well as fuel up before getting into the park, bring our own snacks and lunch every day, and plan for typical Colorado weather - as in you never know what could happen in the next hour!
Hopefully our 3-year-old will have a blast. She enjoyed the moose and fishing while we were gone the past two weeks so hopefully she doesn't get too board! Thank goodness for the DVD player and individual headphones.
So any MUST Do's?
I was in Yellowstone when I was maybe 9 or 10. So decades ago...
We are allowing ourselves FOUR full days in the park... Things I KNOW we can' miss:
1. Old Faithful
2. other thermal features
3. Fountain Paint Pots
4. Wildlife - duh
5. Grand Prismatic Spring
6. Mammoth Hot Springs
7. Grand Canyon of YSNP
8. Grizzly/Wolf Discovery Center
