Question for my pregnant wife

[CapJames]

Does anyone know if disney allows small foldable "stools" into their parks? I was going to get one for my pregnant wife, who would struggle sitting on the ground and standing for long periods of time. Thanks

Sorry but they are not allowed.

Folding chairs are restricted and am guessing stool falls in that category. They are a tripping hazard. You can go over to the Disabilities Board and see if they have any suggestions. You could look at renting a rollator then she would have it to sit anywhere even in lines.

I was also going to suggest a rollator. You can buy them for not very much and she would always have a seat.

Not to mention a place to put her bag if she normally carries one. Great suggestion.

Just adding this in case it helps.

I went at 7 months pregnant in July 2009.

I found plenty of places to sit down at seat level. I could not get to the ground even if I wanted to try. I had also thought of a stool, but would not have needed it. There are lots of benches, walls, chairs.

The only place that's dicey is waiting for a bus, but on that trip we drove.

Best thing I did was take breaks midday. Some days it was a half day only for the parks. I just took my time.

I had a blast despite my slow going through the parks.

I've been to Magic Kingdom on my actual due date (and at various times during my third and fourth pregnancies, sometimes for 8+ hours at a time, often for much less), so WDW is definitely do-able for pregnant women without a stool or the like if your wife is healthy. If she has a disability that would make standing for a long time difficult, definitely consider checking about the DISabilities board. Pregnancy itself isn't a disability, but it may cause conditions that legitimately qualify as one. I had pretty bad sciatica with #3, so proper footwear, walking slowly, and sitting whenever I could were important. And drink tons and tons of water. More than she could ever think she'd need. In Florida, pregnant women sweat for two!
