Congratulations of your expected bundle of joy!
I often get the question, I'm pregnant and we are going to Disney! Now what? First of all, take a deep breath. Your Disney trip can be tons of fun even with your little bun in the oven! I'm going to share with you my Top 5 reasons to enjoy your Walt Disney World when you are pregnant!!
1) I think my favorite part about vacation at Disney while pregnant is the food! Now I'm not suggesting you go overboard but it can be fun to enjoy a few extra treats. Plus no matter what you are craving, you'll most likely find it at Disney!
2) Believe it or not, you'll still have a ton of rides and attractions that you can experience! Disney has tons of shows (Beauty and the Beast, Festival of the Lion King, Nemo the Musical, It's Tough To Be A Bug, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Indian Jones, Lights! Motors! Action!, Mickey's Philharmagic, Carousel of Progress, Country Bear Jamboree....to name just a few). Plus you have lots of slow moving rides to enjoy!! Remember the Disney parks are a complete experience. Take this time to slow down and explore all those parts of the parks you miss when you are racing from ride to ride!
Here are few rides you need to skip, and of course use your discretion and skip what you aren't comfortable with.

3) Disney has a great resource for Mom's and Mom's-to-Be...the Baby Care Center's!! While most people would think of only using these while you have a child in tow, but as a Pregnant momma sometimes you need to take a few minutes off your feet in the air conditioning. These centers have lots of quiet spaces for Mom that include rocking chairs. There are also family spaces so if you do have younger kiddo's with you, you can all spend a few minutes together out of the hot sun!
4) One of the best things about expecting is the adorable outfits you get to purchase! Get your little one a unique souvenir from their very first trip to Disney! During our trip in 2011 we managed to get our little one quite a few fun gifts. Luckily we had already found out it was a girl and had named her.
5) An amazing and unique way to document your pregnancy is by taking some great pictures while at Disney World! You can take advantage of Disney's PhotoPass services to get some iconic shots or even set up a mini-photo shoot with Disney at one their resorts. Whatever you choose, they'll surely be photos to last a lifetime!
We had our photo taken at Conservation Station where we held our wedding reception!

We went while I was pregnant to celebrate our 5th anniversary and I loved it! Nick actually started really kicking when we were there, and man did he like Small World. LOL We were in Epcot on the day of our anniversary (where we were married), so we have a picture with me pregnant standing right where we said "I Do." It was a fabulous trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteWhy should you skip The Train to Conservation Station at AK if pregnant?
Personally I found the train to Conservation Station way to bumpy and jerky. It made me very uncomfortable and nervous...I almost thought riding in the front seat of the safari would be gentler! I would say ride at your discretion.
ReplyDeleteI've only rode it once- and wasn't pregnant! I'll have to pay more attention next time! Is the train the only way out there?
ReplyDeleteIt is the only way out there.
