Wondering if you will be able to enjoy anyrides at Disney World while pregnant?   Here’s some great news…expectant mothers can expect to have a lot of fun on a Disney vacation.   You’ll have to skip the roller coasters and thrill rides but Walt Disney’s original vision for his theme parks were for a place where families experienced things together so there are lots and lots of great attractions that you will be able to enjoy.    Rides all have signs posted near the entrance warning of any exclusions or limitations for physical considerations; these attractions will have a red triangle next to them on the Disney theme park map.   The park maps are your friend for another reason –that’s the fastest way to find the location of the nearest restroom.

Important!  The tips below should apply most healthy pregnancies but you should consult with your doctor about specific cautions relating to visiting the Disney theme parks during your pregnancy.   Heat, humidity and exertion may affect you differently during pregnancy so make sure you pay attention to swelling, fatigue, dizziness or any unusual symptoms.   Each of the Disney theme parks has a First Aid Center – do not hesitate to stop by if you start to feel any unusual symptoms.
