Early Pregnancy Restrictions

[dean_and_monica]

I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought I'd try here. Is there a list of rides that are restricted due to pregnancy? I will be about 2 months along when we get to WDW and I tried to get DH to postpone the trip so I won't have to pick and choose, but he wants to go anyway . I will be talking to my doctor as well, but I wanted to read up on the subject. Thanks!!

Passporter has a book called Open Mouse that has detailed info about doing WDW not only pregnant, but with numerous special needs. I love it. I have done WDW pregnant. Here are the list of rides that you CANNOT do. I may have missed a couple, but it will get you started.

MK: Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Indy Speedway, Barnstormer. I am not sure about Stitch's great escape.

Epcot: Test Track, Mission:Space, Body Wars(which will probably not be open anyway). Not sure about Norway, it is probably fine, but there is a dip. Soarin' is fine. The 360 movies in World Showcase may make you woozie though.

DHS: Star Tours, Tower of Terror, Rock n Roller Coaster,

AK: Dinosaur, Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids, and Kilaminjaro Safari.

Once again, I may have missed one or two as I am doing this from memory, but I think I got them all. I will check my book later as it is downstairs and I am not.

Don't forget to drink lots of water in the heat and try to take it slow. Your energy may not be as high as normal. Take this time to see things that you would normally miss.

Also, if you find yourself tired, feel free to rent a wheelchair. Also, take pictures of the characters pointing at your belly for a cute little keepsake, even though you won't be showing yet.

Thank you so much for the information! Most of the ones you listed were ones I'd be too scared to ride anyway so I guess it won't be so bad. I"m really bummed about Splash Mountain, but it'll be worth the sacrifice!!

Primeval Whirl also is one that should be avoided. The ride vehicle spins and it is a roller coaster.

Thanks, I knew I had left one out. I cannot do that one even when I am not pregnant. Of course that goes for most of the list anyway. LOL I have to say that this is why I love WDW so much. We can do everything together as a family. Other theme parks I spend my day watching everyone else do everything.

Monica, congrats, and have a great trip!!!
