Disneyland Trip Planning
Topic: Pregnant at Disneyland

1	Silly old Bear Sun 10/25/2009 2:50p	We are heading to our favorite place in a couple of weeks. I will be about 18 weeks pregnant with our first baby. We know some rides will be off limits this trip but I would love to hear suggestions of fun things to do that maybe we have missed before. Also, other than taking breaks when needed and keeping a water bottle handy, what other tips do you have for us? Thanks

Since you can't do a lot of the more thrilling rides, I would take advantage of the things people don't necessarily think of when they're there. Ride on the Mark Twain, be sure to see Billy Hill and the Hillbillies perform at the Golden Horseshoe, and take the Disneyland Railroad all around the park. I recommend once during the day and once at night. The contrast is really cool.

For me it wasn't the jerky motion so much as the smell of the propane the cars run on. BLECH! You will also know where EVERY bathroom in DL is located by the end of your trip! The ones over by the Carnation Cafe are rarely busy as well as the ones over at DCA by the bakery & tortilla factory. The other thing is take it EASY! I way over-did it one day during our trip & about had to be carried back to the hotel. By the time we got there, I couldn't even bend over to take off my own shoes my back hurt so bad! :( Have fun & make sure you get your picture taken with Mickey & even tell him your expecting! The characters always would react to that really well - Goofy even rubbed my belly! :D

I got one for jogging and I wore it to Disneyland and it SAVED my back! Besides what has already been mentioned, I would just suggest doing lots and lots of shopping for your baby! Congratulations and have fun!
