Greetings, Erin, and thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It’s great to have you hEAR!
First off, congratulations on your exciting news! You’re almost there! As the mom of three little Mouseketeers, I’ve had the chance to visit the
Disneyland Resort theme parks during all stages of my three pregnancies, and I’m thrilled to report that there are still plenty of
attractions,
shows, and other experiences available to pregnant women. The Resort has put together an
“Expectant Mothers Advisory” to help you determine which attractions you may want to avoid. Currently, there are 16 attractions on that list, including the Incredicoaster, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! However, there are still plenty of attractions I’ve enjoyed riding during my pregnancies. Here are a few of my favorites: “it’s a small world”, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Golden Zephyr, Jungle Cruise, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure, Mickey’s PhilharMagic, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Soarin’ Around the World.
Plus, you won’t want to miss some of my favorite experiences, including those found inside the Disney Animation Building in Hollywood Land in
Disney California Adventure Park. I could spend hours in there! My family loves Animation Academy, Turtle Talk with Crush, and Sorcerer’s Workshop. The Animation Courtyard gallery in the main lobby is also the perfect spot to relax in the air-conditioning on the plush couches! Inside
Disneyland Park, I enjoy taking a break with a view on the Disneyland Railroad.
The Tropical Hideaway is another fun spot to sit down with a DOLE WHIP while watching the Jungle Cruise boats sail by! Lastly, be sure to stay hydrated throughout your Disney days with a complimentary cup of ice water from any
quick-service restaurant. That way, you can avoid lugging around a heavy water bottle!
Once your little one arrives, be sure to check out the
Baby Care Centers, located inside each theme park. These Centers are the perfect spot to nurse, feed, or change your baby. You can also find baby necessities you may have forgotten to pack in the handy vending machines.
Here’s the
Entertainment Schedule for your arrival day, so you can start mapping out your magical plans.
Please stop by with any additional questions, Erin! I’m all EARs!
