Pregnant- thrill rides for the 9 and 7 year old

[RainyDayPixie]

I'll be about 20 weeks pregnant for our planned trip. My DH is coming along, but gets sick on thrill rides.

Will by 9 and 7 year old be able to ride together? I think I've got the rules right- 7 to ride alone?

Could I go through the line with them, but not ride? E.G- going through the Space Mountain line, walking through the seats, waiting in the exit area for them.

Thanks!

Yes, it's 7 to ride alone. And you should be able to go through the line with them, but not sure about walking through the car. There's usually an exit near the platform that you may have to use. If it's you and your husband it might be best to have 1 wait by the exit, just in case.

My friend went to Disneyland when she was very pregnant and she waited through all the thrill ride lines with her husband and friend just so she wasn't sitting around by herself. (She tells a hysterical story of a CM who wanted to warn her about riding one of the rides but was clearly scared to ask or assume that she was pregnant--and she was very obviously pregnant.)
Ask the CM at the front of the line how you should exit.

They had me just walk through the car on California Screamin'. I can only ride once without getting sick, but dd wanted to keep going and I didn't want her waiting in line alone. I imagine they will let you do that.

You will be able to walk the lines on most rides, but usually not allowed to cross the car these days. You would take the emergency "I don't want to ride afterall" exit. On Space, it would be behind where you load. You would exit where the HA entrance is, and meet the kids at the exit there. Plan a meeting place. If you think your 7yo is up to riding single rider, you can use the single rider line. I usually had 3 preteens (12, 11, and 9) and I would send them together (where I could watch, like Matterhorn or Screamin') and the older 2 would sandwich the 9yo. I would have the 7yo go first so you can catch him at the exit and the 9yo could see him if he dawdled in the exit.

The ages work out for riding alone. Just make sure that the 7 year old gives his age first, so no one thinks the 9 year old is watching the 7 year old. That could confuse a CM and cause them to be denied. The 7 year old can ride alone and so can the 9 year old, so have the 7 year old talk first.
