What kind of little things do you like doing at the parks??? Though we don't really enjoying going on the ToT and RnR, we do enjoy the other rides like the Mountains, Test Track and Dino. But this trip we will have a 7 mo DD and will be limited in doing those... Any suggestions, either general or specific, that we might try that we haven't done before????
 
Well, we just got back from WDW and I didn't go on any "big ticket" rides since I am 6 1/2 months pregnant! We still had plenty of fun. I loved the shows, Country Bears, Festival of the Lion King, Tarzan Rocks, etc. For a 7 month old, just the sights and sounds of being in the park will be very stimulating. Don't forget about the baby swap either. You can still go on all the big rides, but one at a time without having to wait in line twice. Spending time seeing the characters may be fun too, it depends on your baby. Some like them, some really don't. I'm sure you will have a great time, you'll just have to remember to take it slow!

Our vacations in the past have always been from open to close, hitting it hard and doing as much as possible.. This time we are planning a much more laid make vacation, spending less time at the parks and more time at the resort, perhaps a water park, a night at Fort Wilderness etc...And also more times doing things we always overlook at the parks..
 
My kids either dont like the thrill rides or arent big enough. Usually we have family or friends with us who we have been able to switch off with, but this last trip over Christmas, it was just the 4 of us for once. The "biggest" rides we did the whole time were Goofys Barnstormer and Kali River Rapids(DS did make the 38 inch minimum here...hopefully he will hit 40 by our July trip ;) ).

We were able to do quite a bit of stuff, even without the thrill rides(which I should mention DH & I love!). We kept busy for 10 days. We explored the resorts, went mini golfing, rented a surrey bike(dont know if that would be possible witha baby), and did most of the other rides in the parks. I have 9 out of 10 days of my trip report posted if you are interested in seeing what we did without thrill rides.
Good luck and enjoy!
