Is this going to be any fun…. of course, it is, it is Disneyland! I went to Disneyland three times while pregnant and by far the hardest was when I was in the first trimester. So tired.

If you are even considering going to Disneyland I recommend downloading the Disneyland app. One great feature is that you can filter rides that may have a pregnancy advisory, also can do it here on the website. Then you can use your discretion after talking with your medical provider about what rides may or may not be appropriate.

Disneyland rides with pregnancy advisory:

• Autopia
• Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
• Gadget’s Go Coaster
• Hyperspace Mountain
• Indiana Jones Adventure
• Matterhorn Bobsleds
• Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run
• Splash Mountain
• Star Tours

California Adventure rides with pregnancy advisory:

• Goofy’s Sky School
• Grizzly River Run
• Guardians of the Galaxy
• Incredicoaster
• Radiator Springs

The first trimester can be hard, especially if nausea and fatigue is happening.

• Stay at a close hotel- this makes it easier to go back for a mid-day nap.
• Be prepared- you will feel pregnant but won’t look pregnant so nobody will know but you.
• Enjoy all the food!-Do you have a better excuse to indulge for a few days on churros, corndogs and all the great treats in Disneyland.

The second trimester is a great time to visit Disneyland. You may or may not be showing and hopefully, any nausea and fatigue will have improved.

• Stay within walking distance- you probably are feeling pretty good and walking to and from the park won’t be too bad. The Howard-Johnson is a great option (I review hotels here).
• Show off that baby bump- everyone in Disneyland is happy so enjoy all the smiles and congratulations.
• Continue eating all the food!- Again any excuse to enjoy all the treats 🙂

The third trimester is still a great time to visit Disneyland (are you seeing a pattern here, not sure there is a bad time to visit). This trip is likely easiest with another adult to help with the kiddo.

• Hotel within walking distance – probably will be feeling pretty okay and getting that daily exercise will help with all the treats you will be consuming 😉
• Don’t overdo it- having another adult makes this easy, enjoy slowing down and taking in the people watching.
• Plan something special – if you are with kiddo this might be the last trip until the new baby arrives. Consider a special character breakfast, a special sit down meal or something else to commemorate the trip based on family interests.

Bumpin along:

• Stay hydrated 
• Wear comfortable shoes
