Walt Disney World for the Pregnant Lady

Even though the 2nd Trimester is described as the "perfect time for travel", I have had a lot of people question why we're going to Disney.  Well besides the obvious IT'S OUR FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH - unlike Six Flags or even Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure Disney has many rides/attractions that are still do-able during pregnancy.  Of course the parades and fireworks are a given non-harmful attraction for pregnant ladies.

 

I thought I would compile a list of specific rides/attractions so you could see there are MANY things you can still enjoy while pregnant at Walt Disney World!

 

 

MAGIC KINGDOM

 

 

- Astro Orbiter, a very slow ride, but one you can ride none the less

- Country Bear Jamboree - cute seated show - WITH A/C

- Dumbo the Flying Elephant

- The Hall of Presidents - seated show - WITH A/C

- Haunted Mansion - slow moving ride (my personal favorite)

- It's a Small World - indoor boat ride

- Jungle Cruise - fun outdoor boat ride

- Liberty Square Riverboat

- The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (has some sharp turns, but I don't think anything too serious for baby)

- Mickey's Philharmagic - seated 3D film - WITH A/C

- Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor - seated show - WITH A/C

- Peter Pan's Flight - slow flying ride

- Pirates of the Caribbean - indoor boat ride

- Stitch's Great Escape!  This is just a seated experience, but has overhead shoulder restraints, unless your belly is too big to safely/comfortably buckle in - I see no harm.

Animal Kingdom

- Maharajeh Jungle Trek - walking trail

- Pangani Forest Trails - walking trail

- Wildlife Express Train

 

 

 

I hope I didn't miss anything...if I did, I'll be sure to add it to the list after our trip.
