Pregnant at Disney World
Wondering if you will be able to enjoy any rides 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. We list every ride you can ride below. 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 to most healthy pregnancies but you should consult with your doctor about specific cautions relating to visiting the Disney theme parks. 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.
Standing in long lines is never fun but can be downright miserable during pregnancy. The new Disney Genie+ and individual Lightning Lane selections cost extra but may be worth every penny by minimizing lines and waits.
According to the Disney website: "Walt Disney World Resort offers many shows and attractions that expectant mothers may not be able to experience. Be sure to consult the signage posted at each attraction—which includes height requirements, health and safety advisories, and accessibility guidelines."
We can deliver your bundle of theme park joy, but not your baby LOL Hey, little mama, you're going to be riding rides for two - helping you plan this trip is the least we can do! All of our travel agents have children of their own and can help you plan a fantastic trip to the Disney theme parks. We can book a relaxing resort close enough to the parks to allow for easy breaks and book your dining reservations.

We will be able to minimize the labor involved in delivering a great Disney vacation.....no drugs or special breathing required!
