ChEARs Samantha!
So many Congratulations to you on
your pregnancy!!! I love that you are celebrating your mini-Mickey or mini-Minnie at the Most Magical Place on Earth! I visited Walt Disney World both times I was
pregnant, and while I made some adjustments, had a fabulous time!
I looked up the
Easy Access Card that you referred to. At
Disneyland Paris, this allows a Guest with a temporary illness to access attractions via a specially-adapted entrance. Think Guests in casts, or those who temporarily need wheelchairs, etc. The closest thing to this at Walt Disney World is the
Disability Access Service (DAS) Card. The card is for
Guests who are unable to wait in a standard queue. It allows them to come back at a designated time. To receive a DAS Card, Guests participate in a registration process (which includes a photo), and a discussion with
Guest Relations to see if they are eligible for the service.
Hopefully, everything progresses beautifully with
your pregnancy, and you will not need the DAS Card. If you find that you tire easily while walking the Parks, you might want to consider a
wheelchair rental to make the commutes between attractions easier. I found that if I kept hydrated,
ate tasty snacks, and took short breaks that the day went smoothly! One of my favorite spots to take a break is the
Baby Care Centers in each of the four Theme Parks. They are air-conditioned, have bathrooms, and a great snack room.
Most importantly, Samantha, take advantage of
FastPass+ service! If you are a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Guest, you can make selections up to 60 days before your arrival. If you are staying off-site, you can choose 30 days prior. This way, there is minimal wait in line and less chance for you to tire out. Above all, make sure you, your partner, and your doctor are all on board with your plans before you visit.
I wish you a magical vacation!
