No personal advice as we haven't been to WDW yet at all! I woud be interested in what others tell you as we are trying to get in the same situation as you!!!

My understanding from others is drink lots of water, rest whenever you can, and skip the AK safari (the one thing that I REALLY don't want to skip!!!)

Best wishes for an easy pregnancy - no morning sickness!

I would say take that afternoon break and try to take at least one opportunity to pamper yourself! Best wishes and congratulations!

Congratulations.....I too was preg. 14 weeks when I went to Disney. Take a rest every day and obvisouly no thrill rides.

Drink lots of bottled water.

Congratulations!

Check with your doctor. Read the Passporter book for special needs. They address pregnancy issues. (your library might have a copy) Drink lots and lots of water. A hydrated guest is a happy guest. Don't try to do too much. Take it nice and slow and easy. Enjoy stopping and smelling the roses. Have fun. Take naps. (you'll be wanting them). Do something really, really romantic. Take lots of pictures. Have fun. Wear comfortable clothing and good, comfortable shoes w/ good arch supports. Walk lots before you go.

We lived in Jacksonville (FL) when I was pregnant with my youngest and we went several times when I was pregnant, the last being when I was about 6 and half months along. There are tons of benches everywhere, so sit frequently, drink lots of water, cut through air conditioned buildings (most of the shops and things have a front and back entrance so you can just walk straight through) if you are going during the summer, take it nice and slow. If you need a place to sit quietly for a while in airconditioning I would recommend the baby care centers (there's one in each park). And avoid the rides that they tell you to. I remember wanting to do the safari ride in Animal Kingdom and suddenly noticing that there was a pregnant women should not ride and thinking "oh come on it's not a rough ride" but being good and staying off it. When I rode it post pregnancy I was surprised at how many jerks and rough corners there were. Disney knows their rides, so follow their warnings and you should be fine.

Enjoy your trip!
