WDW while pregnant: not a big deal. at least, it wasn't for me. I have been blessed with a symptom free pregnancy so far (keeping fingers crossed), so I didn't have to combat morning sickness or fatigue. I did take it easy if I felt I was doing too much, but we are early-to-bed and early-to-rise types, so I didn't wear myself out.
I avoided all coasters, simulators, and anything that said pregnant women must not ride. I also avoided the tomorrowland speedway not only because I despse the ride :), but because there is entirely too much bumping going on for my comfort level. I did ride the safari, even though there are warning signs for it. we have ridden enough to know it really is a harmless ride--there was a gal at least 7 months pregnant in the same jeep with us and she didn't see what the big deal was either.
I also steered clear of the hot tubs. :(
weather it ran the gamut of cloudy and low 60's to a high of 87 one afternoon. coming from winter weather, I rather enjoyed the 87 degree day. although in october I would enjoy a 62 degree day, too
performances at epcot: we saw a lot of the "street performances" and really enjoyed the juggler in Italy--he really got the children involved. the drummers in japan are phenomenal, as are the improv actors in France. our favorites are still off kilter and the voices of liberty--we saw off kilter at least 4 times. but, why are the shows so short?
favorite snack: this trip: glazed almonds. we also ate a lot of popcorn--it just tastes better at WDW. we didn't get to have our usual choc. chip cookie sandwich at sleepy hollow either. we also ate several caramel apples at the boardwalk, but the ones at the MK are bigger and come with chopped peanuts (very important to my DH).
now I'm hungry :)
that's the end, I promise!!!
