I love coming here.

It will be loads of fun. Here's a list off the top of my head of restricted attractions in WDW. -Magic Kingdom Space Mountain Thunder Mountain Splash Mountain Barnstormer Autopia -MGM Studios Star Tours Rock N'Roller Coaster Tower of Terror -Epcot Mission Space Test Track Body Wars (open seasonally anyway) -Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest Dinosaur Kali River Rapids Primeval Whirl You'll have a great time! I'd definitely go pregnant. Bring lots of water and take breaks and you'll be fine!!!

Originally Posted By DVC_dad Okay okay okay step aside... let an expert speak on this subject... *ahem* DVC_mom is standing right here as I am showing her this topic. For those of you who do not know, she has visited WDW while pregnant 5 times now. She has visited DL while pregnant once. She says, she will not ride closer to the end of the 2nd tri...but before that she will ride anything. In fact she is reminding me that she rode Mission Space when 7 weeks pregnant. She would however advise against TOT, RockinR, and Everest at any stage especially Everest she says. So far we cannot tell judging by my 20 month old whether or not he has any lasting effects from being centrifuged as a fetus. I am serious. My wife is crazy. She will ride if she can fit under the lap bar. They won't THROW you off, it's an advisory, not a law. But to cover our own a**, we officially advise you to follow the posted guidelines on each ride.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad And yes, she has not ridden Everest herself as baby #6 will be here at the end of May, but I have explained the ways in which it differs from RockinR and she is like, "well I could ride it, but I'd probably give birth on it," and that may be a problem.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad LOL Indeed! I have hoped many times...that we could at least have a baby at a WDW Resort if not IN the park! She has been really close twice. But so far ... no such luck. I wonder if anyone has ever given birth IN a Disney Park? I'd love to be THAT dad!
Originally Posted By sherrytodd I made a trip to WDW at the first week of my second tri. Now I got the clearance from my doctor first and would recomend you do the same. Rock N Roller coaster was not open yet so I did not ride that, but I rode every other ride in the parks including ToT with no ill-effect. At the time I wasn't really showing yet, but I would imagine that later on, there would be some discomfort with the restraint systems. And DVC_dad, I believe that there are a few Disney babies who were born in the parks. I vaguely remember reading about that at some point.

Her husband's uncle, Miguel Coudillo, walked her to the first-aid station, where the baby was born, a park spokesman, Al Flores, said.

Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire Actually they can refuse to let you ride something and they have. When my mother was pregnant with me, and she wasnt that far along mind you or she wouldnt have gotten on, they told her she could not ride big thunder mountain, even after waiting in line for 40 minutes. Wonder why someone didn't tell her that before she stepped into the line?
Originally Posted By sherrytodd I don't know if they would forbid a pregnant woman from riding. Their warnings now are "expectant mothers should not ride" not cannot ride. Seems more of a we're not going to stop you, but hey we warned you so don't sue us. I wasn't stopped, but I wasn't really showing yet and wore baggy clothes. Having the CM's try to stop pregnant women could lead to an embarassing situation when someone turns out not to be pregnant. BUT, like I said, I cleared everything with my doctor before hand and would recomend doing the same before hopping onto Rock'n Rollercoaster. You also have to accept that eventually the discomfort factor would be too much to really enjoy the attractions. ***This is Sherrytodd's disclaimer for all advice dispensed in this subject. Sherrytodd cannot be held accountable for her bone-headed ideas and recomendations. Before following Sherrytodd's advice, understand that she continued to hike up to two weeks before she delivered and was caving up to 8 months. Sherrytodd is on record the only pregnant woman to make the trip to the lowest point in Carlsbad Caverns having repelled 700 feet to get there at 5 months pregnant. Anyone who takes Sherrytodd's advice should be institutionized for their own protection.
