    I know most of the ride restrictions. (even though i don't ALWAYS LOOK OBVIOUSLY preggo) and I follow them. So it is fantasy land, and NOS for me for rides. Although a month ago we were up there and it was in the 100's and I REALLY WANTED TO GO ON SPLASH..BUT i didn't...
    Are there any cool things to do that aren't rides, just sit, or walk that you like to do with your itty bitty's or when you are preggo?

    The Aladdin show is great, but it might be a little long for your little one. The little one might like Muppet Vision.

I could just sit and look around and just enjoy being there. Also, I brought my maternity belt that I use when I go jogging, it saved my back, especially when my 4 year old and 2 year old wanted me to carry them! I actually liked not leaving my kids to go on the big rides, I pretty much followed them around and did what they wanted to do, it was lots of fun!

    Well, I did ride everything there pregnant at one time or another but that is a different story. You have already made that decision.

    Nowadays there are so many more things to do to beat the heat than there were in the 70's. I would even play in the water in Bug's Land. (Well, I do that now, but with my grandchildren.)
    Shows and 3Dmovies and shopping in air conditioned stores are always good. My daughter even rented a wheelchair for a day to help save her back and feet.
    My two favorite cooldown spots (Golden Dreams and the 50 Magical Years) are not around now.
    TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET!!!!!!! I found support panty hose to be extremely helpful for my sore legs.

    Also, I don't see anything wrong with renting a wheelchair if you get pooped.

    And for a fun reminder of your baby-to-be's first Disney trip, take a picture back to back with pooh to compare tummys!

    But we had fun. Hubby got one ride in DCA, TOT. Me and Baby.. no rides. we got there at 1 and went straight to the Disney Playhouse Live. The little Door Mouse LOVED IT.
    We waited in the 45 minute line to get in the orchestra seating for Aladdin. WELL worth the wait. we have seen it before, but with her we were Right on the aisle in the VERY front section of seats.
    Disneyland, we did about 6 rides all day, alot of stopping and resting and Just took it slow and did stuff for the baby. It was alot of fun actually.With exception of TOT we did everything as a family.
    Here is the photo album with the pictures from our trip..

    Another fun thing I did was get my silohuette (sp?) done on Main St. I asked them to include my tummy and they did! :)
