all my disney girls!

so question here. . . I have to be down in Orlando TWICE for work in November and could connect the two trips to stay over the weekend at epcot/disney. . here is my question though bc I haven't been in about 15 years and know some of you are EXPERTS!!! Would disney/epcot be worth it if you were about 6 1/2 months preggo? I know I couldn't do 80% of the rides and such but I thought it would still be fun but DH says it would be a waste .

What do you all think? Fun? Waste? I might be able to get work to pay for our hotel in order to save another flight. .

Re: all my disney girls!

yes yes yes!!! goooo! just walking around the parks and going to downtown disney can be a lot of fun! epcot doesnt have a zillion rides anyway, so i think that might be the best bang-for-your-buck

def go!!! disney is just a fun place!!!

Re: all my disney girls!

i would say yes if for one thing..if its during the time they r decorated for christmas..

christmas in disney is just amazing..such good shows and they make it snow..

there is still alot u cant do but def some good shows and u can see the fireworks and def go eat the food!!!

im no help cause id go anytime lol..id give birth on splash mountain

what week would u be there for?

and they also r giving away free dining so u could get that too

Re: all my disney girls!

Disney's always worth it!! Truly the only rides you won't be able to do are the roller coasters. It's totally worth it.

If you are going to focus on Epcot - that means you can't do Mission: Space and no Test Track. Everything else should be fine.

Re: all my disney girls!

I agree with all the girls who answered!! I would go anytime, preggo, or not! You would have a great time at EPCOT just wandering through World Showcase, having a pastry in France by the Eiffel Tower :) You can take the boat ride through Mexico for sure, no worries. GOOOO!!!!

Re: all my disney girls!

i would say goooo!!!!!
epcot is my favorite i love going through all the diff countries!

Re: all my disney girls!

WHOOOOOOOOOO thanks everyone! I am totally going to convince DH to go! I might be back to pick your brains for more ideas later. .like where to stay, eat, etc.. .

I'm going to be there the wknd of November 5-7 . . are you going to be there?

and free dining? how do I do that? I have ALWAYS been a fan of eating but now that I am on a seven meal a day plan I'm totally down for this!

THANKS!!!!

Re: all my disney girls!

i went to disney during xmas time and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! they have a xmas party at night after the park closes but you need passes to get in they serve hot choc and cookies and it snows (as the other girl posted) it was soooo magical i want to bring dh there for xmas (i was there by myself last time.....long story)

Re: all my disney girls!

Yes definately!! There are many shows there and alot of attractions that move have special seats for pregnant women. Plus its so much fun at xmas time!!

Re: all my disney girls!

Right now they have free dining but they sometimes extend it so def check disney.com...and when u book def say on the phone oh do u have any deals right now like free dining?

I gotta check cause I'm not sure but I think..think not sure the first x mas party is the 8th which would really stink cause u would just miss but if u book let me know and I will look everything up and see what deals r going on

Re: all my disney girls!

Christmastime is gorgeous there, so you won't be disappointed! Plus think of all the attention you'll get as a preggo in DW!

When you call to make your reservation, or after you make your reservation call and ask the person on the phone if they have a guide to DW when pregnant. They may actually have a whole list of all the rides that are suggested you not go on and all the ones that they believe are safe for preggos. That could be a HUGE help to make it easier for you to figure out where to go when. Rides like Spaceship Earth are probably totally fine, but I'd stay off Mission space and Test Track, for example. You can probably do the Haunted Mansion, but you might want to have the wheelchair treatment somewhere like Pirates of the Caribbean (there's only one little tiny splash down, but it's better to be ready for it). If they don't have a preggo guide, you can ask for the physically challenged guide as a reference.

I honestly don't think I'd enjoy being there this pregnant (I'm 27 weeks) just because I would hate to be flying right now and I'm using the bathroom way more than I'm comfortable with. Plus walking for a while at a time or standing a while has been making me very sore. But that's just me. I also just stopped being able to sleep through the night without terrible back pain. It could be because I started out heavier than ideal when I got PG, or it's just the way my body is handling the pregnancy. But it sounds like you have the positive mindset about going, which is the majority of the fun! Disney truly is a magical place!

Re: all my disney girls!

I have never done it while pregnant but i would say go!!! I just went there this past August and I saw tons of very pregnant women there....I don't know how they handled that heat b/c I felt like I was melting!!! Anyway, November you don't have to worry about the heat and there are lots of places to eat and just sit down and chill. Downtown Disney (especially) is a lot of fun with different restaurants and shops. If this is something you are interested in going to a lot, I would suggest staying at the Port Orelans French Quarter or Port Orleans Riverside. They are not too bad price-wise and are very clean and quaint. Also, they both offer a free ferry boat to and from those hotels and Downtown Disney since it is not that far away. You could still take the complimentary bus also but I thought the ferry was nice! I hope you get to go!!! I miss Disney!!!
