StaceyinLA Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm just trying to get an idea of what will REALLY be safe for dd to ride at about 28 weeks pg, AND what is safe for 13 1/2 mo dgs to ride? I know the obvious no-no's of course, but what about other, not so obvious rides that are really bumpy and/or jerky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeW88 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 They will have signs posted on any rides that have restrictions for pregnant women. Your 13 mo can go on anything that doesn't have a height (or other) restriction. My youngest went on all the dark rides, theatre attractions, and 3D (and other) movies at that age....and younger. His first trip to Disney was at four months. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Do you have the WDW for families book? They have the ins and outs of all the rides. They tell you if something has anything that might not be okay for kids. Bumpy, loud, dark etc. this way you can make that call. My dd used to be deathly afraid of dark rides. Even the rides with a little dark would freak her out. So, that book was my bible! Rides like the people mover and spaceship earth would have been horrible when she was younger. Simple rides for most of us! Now, she will ride anything! As far as pregnancy, I'd follow Disney guidelines. Each ride has a sign. I would think that any ride that's okay for a 13 month old would be fine for a pregnant woman! We just left today and I'm depressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbabybottoms Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We did WDW last year when I was 30-31 weeks pregnant. I did anything that didn't have a warning for pregnant women and I even did the safar at animal kingdom even though it did have the warning. My husband went on it first just to see if it would be ok and we felt fine about it. I would have done soarin too but, well, the belly didn't fit in the harness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We went up to Orlando in May 2000. My wife was about 4 months pregnant at that time and we had the permission of her OB-GYN to travel. We met a childhood friend and his wife in Orlando and went to WDW. Rides that are dangerous for pregnant women, people with heart problems, etc., are posted. My wife sat outside, waiting for us, on a bunch of rides that we went on. Check with the OB-GYN and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabrizia Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I took mine at 6 months on anything that it said they could ride, they were fine. I think the Safari ride in Animal Kingdom and probably Soaring are fine when pregnant even if they have the sign not to ride. It is really up to how she is feeling and what she wants to go on. I won't do any roller coasters obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leave in 16 days, which means we will be back home in 23. :( The only fun thing is that I get to start planning next year's big family trip after we get home!!

StaceyinLA Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Toy Story Mania, and "kiddie" rides of that nature. My niece actually rode ToT fairly far into her pg, but there was a pg nurse in line that was riding it and said it was not a big deal at all. She would def not do coasters. She was hoping to do Dinosaur, but I think that's a big no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much they could see because they couldn't keep the glasses on, but they were fine to ride it. I can't recall exactly where the safety bar rests on that ride though, so I can't say whether or not I'd want to go on while pregnant. The actual motion was probably okay, but that lap bar might put the pressure more on your stomach which would make me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
