Welcome to planDisney, Nichole! Thanks for sharing your vacation planning question!
Is there anything better than planning a trip to Disneyland? I mean, other than going to Disneyland? I may be biased, but I’m gonna say “nope!”
The Disneyland Resort website and
Disneyland Resort mobile app have helpful maps that allow you to filter attractions by a variety of interests, age ranges, and considerations, including an Expectant Mother Advisory. On the website, once you’ve navigated to the
Rides and Entertainment map you’ll want to look for the Accessibility and Advisories button near the top of the page. Click on the button and a dropdown menu will show you a variety of filter options, with the Expectant Mother Advisory listed under Physical Considerations. On the mobile app map, you’ll want to select the filters button in the upper left of your screen (it looks like three lines with circles on them) and scroll down to Physical Considerations. You’ll find the Expectant Mother Advisory under that category.
In both instances, filtering attractions by the Expectant Mother Advisory will show you which rides to
avoid if you are pregnant. At California Adventure that includes Goofy’s Sky School, Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!, Incredicoaster, Radiator Springs Racers, and Grizzly River Run (which is currently closed for refurbishment).
That leaves so many awesome rides for you to enjoy!
Toy Story Midway Mania is a must-ride for me and my family every time we visit (I have to defend my title!), and
The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure is a great option if you need to get off your feet and beat the heat. If you have any questions about any of the experiences at Disneyland or California Adventure, don’t hesitate to stop by Guest Relations to chat with a friendly Cast Member.
Nichole, I hope this helps give you an idea of what to expect if you're expecting at Disney’s California Adventure. Be sure to come back to planDisney if you have any other questions. Our knowledgeable crew of panelists is here to help!
Magical travels!
