MK while pregnant - and FP day of question!

[psadvocate]

Just a few questions - going to MK in a few days and I will be 28 weeks pregnant!

1. Is the 7Dwarfs ride considered risk? I've heard about the others, can't find info on Snow White

2. What are your favorite non-ride activities to do while pregnant in MK?

3. If I buy my ticket the day of in guest relations - do you know where I go to set my fast pass times for the day?

Congratulations! I was 7+ months pregnant last year when i went to WDW and had a great time. Just know that you will get tired more quickly and will need to rest more often. Definitely listen to your body - you'll probably walk a lot more than you're used to.

I would not think 7DMT would be safe or advisable while pregnant. If the Barnstormer isn't safe it won't be, either. I avoided all coasters and other rides that WDW advised against.

But there's still tons to do and lots of rides you can enjoy, too! I enjoyed some shopping, drinking a cold LeFou's Brew, people watching, and watching my daughter experience her first trip. It's magical! Have fun!

I went to MK while I was pregnant. That was a few years ago though. Anyway, I would not ride any roller coaster or thrill ride. I had plenty of fun though. Most of the rides in the MK are okay and there's always shopping!! I did feel a bit cheated but it wasn't bad. I got over it quickly. I was in the MK after all.
For your fast passes... I would think you could just load your fast selections to your tickets/magicbands using MDE. Not 100% sure about that but I can't see why you wouldn't be able to.

I will be just about as far along with my pregnancy as you when I'm there in a couple weeks! If you have any tips when you return from your trip, please share

Have fun!

I was just there in September when I was 28-29 weeks pregnant...loved it!

I would not recommend 7DMT. I walked through the queue with my family but took the chicken exit. I would (and did) skip anything with a warning against riding pregnant...which 7DMT does. I really wanted to go since it's new...but it wasn't worth the risk for me. It will be there when I go back.

In MK there is a lot you CAN ride...so when my family was riding something I couldn't I usually got in line for something I could ride. Others have mentioned the shopping...there's also shows like Philharmagic, Country Bears, Tiki Birds, Carousel of Progress, etc. My favorite thing though is on Main Street. There's a little side alley on one side that has tables and chairs at the end of it. I like to get an ice cream sundae and sit at one of those tables and just relax. It's usually pretty quiet there and relaxing. Not exciting...but it's my favorite.

As far as FP selections...you can go to any of the kiosks and you'll find their locations on the map. From what I have read...you may be better of going to one further back in the park like the one in the walkway between Frontierland and Adventureland (I think that's where it is) because the lines at the kiosks in the front of the park can get long first thing in the morning. That may have changed though...I would read up on it in the main thread with tips on making FP+ selections. Once you have your ticket...if you get to the park before rope drop...you should be able to add it to MDE on your phone (if you have a smart phone) and make your initial selections that way while you wait. Additional FP selections need to be make at the kiosks but your initial ones do not...so that may be the best option for you if you have a smart phone.

Have a great trip and just remember to take it easy and not overdo it. I had a fabulous time when I was there in September and the only negative (aside from not riding many of the headliners) was that my feet and ankles swelled up REALLY bad. I haven't had that before or after my trip...but I think it was the heat and humidity that did me in. It didn't slow me down much as I was going at a slower pace anyway...but I certainly wasn't expecting it. Have fun!!

I just returned from a week at Disney and am about 5 months pregnant. We took DD3 and DD6. In MK, I passed on the mountains, 7DMT, and Barnstormer. I am not feeling sick at all, so I also rode the tea cups and carousel, but I wouldn't recommend either of these if you're feeling sick or dizzy.

I also rode Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Dumbo, Jungle Cruise, and a bunch of other stuff. Mainly I just missed the mountains and 7DMT. Since my kids are still smallish, they skipped Space Mountain, we didn't wait in line for 7DMT, and they rode Splash and BTMR with my husband while I rested (yes - my barely 40" DD3 rode BTMR and LOVED it - I was proud!).

Honestly, I went in with a bad attitude, thinking I wasn't going to have any fun, but I was still able to do 95% of what everyone else wanted to do. The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time (in spite of FP+, but that's another 1,000 threads).

Go, and have a great time!
