Tips for Disney while pregnant?

[sarahsas]

I'll be in my starting 2nd tri when we go. Bummed that I can't go on some rides! Any tips or advice would be appreciated! I have a 3 day park hopper, staying on site (Beach Club and Beach Club villas) and will have 1day of adults only and 2 with my toddler (20mos at the time).

I went at about 22 weeks and also stayed at the beach club villas. I didn't haven't many issues - just drank tons of water & sat when I needed to. I didn't have other kid w/ me, though. Luckily a 20 month old needs naps - so rest when s/he does and take some time to lounge in the pool. There really aren't too many rides you can't go on - a handful in each park. One that says no pregnant women that I ignored was the safari in AK. That was no worse than flying or riding on a bumpy road - plus I've taken a 3 month old on it.

I'd definitely do the Safari again while pregnant.  It's basically sitting in a slow moving Jeep.

I went at 33 weeks pregnant and my only advice is to find places to sit and rest during the day. I sent DH and DS off to ride Pirates and Jungle Cruise and I sat on a bench and ate a snack to avoid standing while waiting in lines. We also made sure to find sitting spots for the parades.

I went with DH and my just turned two year old son when I was about six months pregnant. We were there in early November.

I rode any rides that my 2 year old could ride, and hung out with my son if DH wanted to go on one of the coasters. My second tri was when I felt best, I was over puking several times a day and wasn't yet exhausted, so it was the perfect time for me to go.

I took breaks and we planned a sit down meal for lunch most days, to ensure I had a nice break.

I had a great time that trip.

I went at the beginning of 2nd tri when DS1 was 26 months. My OB agreed I could ride anything my 2 year old could so like others, I rode the safari no problem. We took a break every day while DS1 napped and made sure to drink lots of water. Other than that, it was no problem and we had lots of fun!

We did Disneyland when I was 25 weeks. Agree with others - sit often, rest when the toddler rests, drink lots of water. Any quick serve restaurant will give you free ice water. And yes, the safari is totally fine.

I was 24 weeks when we went. When the family went on rides i couldn't go on, i would find a shady spot to sit and eat an ice cream.

I've down Disney World when pregnant twice now. First time I was 6 months pregnant with DS2, and this last trip I was 15 weeks pregnant with this baby. I recommend making sure to drink waaaaay more water than normal, and take resting breaks. I didn't go on any of the restricted rides, including the safari. Depending on where you sit it can be pretty jarring, but I've heard if you sit in the front it's not too bad (we normally end up near the back).
