Hey howdy hey, Michele, and thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Congratulations on the exciting news of your little Mouseketeer! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this news than at the Happiest Place on Earth!
The
Disneyland Resort has put together a list of attractions with an
“Expectant Mothers Advisory” to help you decide which attractions you may want to avoid. Currently, there are 16 attractions on
this list, including thrill rides such as Incredicoaster, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! However, I’ve visited the Disneyland Resort theme parks at all stages of my three pregnancies, and I’m happy to report that there are still plenty of
attractions,
shows, and experiences for you to enjoy! Some of my favorite attractions to ride while pregnant include “it’s a small world”, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan’s Flight, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Golden Zephyr, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, and Soarin’ Around the World.
When visiting the Resort while pregnant, it’s also important to take breaks and stay hydrated. I enjoy riding the Disneyland Railroad in
Disneyland Park for a great way to see the sights while resting my feet. Another favorite rest spot is the Disney Animation Building in Hollywood Land inside
Disney California Adventure Park. The Animation Courtyard gallery in the main lobby features plush couches in the air-conditioning, making for the perfect rest stop. In addition, don’t miss Turtle Talk with Crush, Animation Academy, and Sorcerer’s Workshop, all located inside this building.
Speaking of breaks, don’t forget to treat yourself to some delicious Disneyland Resort snacks throughout your busy day! You simply can’t go wrong with a world-famous Churro, popcorn, Mickey Bar, or DOLE WHIP! Don't forget to quench your thirst with a complimentary cup of ice water at any
quick-service dining location.
Wishing you pixie-dusted fun at the Disneyland Resort, Michele!
