Kids first trip to WDW and I'm PG.. any tips?

[LisaFB]

We're leaving in about 2 1/2 months (YIPPEEE) for our kids' first ever WDW trip and we can't wait! We're doing 5 days on land and then the 4 days cruise over Halloween. DH and I have been quite a few times together (as you can see in my siggy) but this is the first time it's not us. I'll also be about 23 weeks PG at the time with baby #3 (just over 10 weeks now). DS has severe multiple food allergies, but we got that all taken care of and we have our own double umbrella stroller (we figured we'd need it for shore excursions on the cruise and we bought it for cheaper than renting one all those days would cost!)

Does anyone have any tips or ideas or suggestions for me? TIA! Also, what rides are ok for me to go on with the kids?

I'm almost 31 weeks along and have been to WDW twice during this pregnancy. The first trip was when I was 8-9 weeks and the second trip was when I was 20-21 weeks. I was so tired during the first trip, but felt great during the second one (yeah second trimester!). In my opinion, you are going at a great time during your pregnancy.

My biggest advice would be to keep yourself in as good of shape as possible leading up to the trip. Try and get regular exercise so you can handle all the walking. Obviously, keep yourself well hydrated during the trip too. It should be cooling down a bit when you go so hopefully you won't have to hot of weather.

I think allearsnet.com has a list of the ride restrictions. All of the rollercoasters are off limits as well as things like Tower of Terror, Mission Space, etc. There were only a couple of rides that I wasn't able to go on with my 3 yo...the Indy cars, Goofy Barnstormer, Safari (a lot of people go on this pregnant though...I went on it during our 8-9 week pregnant trip and planned to go on it during the other trip, but one thing lead to another and I didn't). Soarin has no pregnancy restriction. I didn't go on the teacups, mostly because I get motion sickness and don't like the teacups, but I think there might have been an advisory restriction. I've heard people mention that you shouldn't go on Pirates either. I didn't see a warning, so I went on it. There is a slight drop at the beginning.

Have a good trip!

Thank you so much for the info!! I already knew roller coasters and the few "big" rides would be out. Luckily DH & I went in March before I got PG and got to go on all those! LOL Pirates I did in DL Paris when I was 8 weeks PG with my first and was fine so I think I'll go on that this time too. I also heard of a lot of PG women going on the Safari, I think I might chance it... I so wanna see my kids' faces as they see the animals!! I guess Soarin has no restrictions since you're not really moving. I didn't even think of that one. As long as I can do almost all of the rides my kids can do, I'll be a happy camper! Thanks again!
