Walt Disney World While Pregnant

Walt Disney World Resort is accommodating to guests of all ages, abilities, and stages of life. So it’s no surprise it’s a great destination to visit while expecting! While you can’t ride every ride, there is still plenty to do to keep you busy and entertained throughout your trip. From delicious meals and snacks to enchanting shows and entertainment, and just a few places to take a break and cool down, this blog post has you covered.

Dining Delights

One of the best parts of visiting Disney World while pregnant is indulging in the incredible food options. Whether you’re craving a savory meal or a sweet treat, there’s something for everyone:

  • Table-Service Restaurants: Enjoy a leisurely meal at one of Disney’s many table-service restaurants. Some favorites include Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom, Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Le Cellier in EPCOT.
  • Quick-Service Options: For a quicker bite, try places like Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom or Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom.
  • Snacks: Don’t miss out on iconic Disney snacks like Dole Whip, Mickey pretzels, and churros. Or my personal pregnancy craving, cookies and ice cream! 
 

Shows and Entertainment

Disney World offers a variety of shows and entertainment options that are perfect for expectant mothers:

  • Parades and Fireworks: Enjoy the magic of Disney parades and nighttime spectaculars like Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Enchantment.
  • Stage Shows: Relax and enjoy stage shows such as Festival of the Lion King in Animal Kingdom and Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage in Hollywood Studios.
  • Streetmosphere: Catch a glimpse of the Dapper Dans! Slow down and enjoy for a bit rather than rushing off to the next attraction!
  • Character Meet-and-Greets: Capture magical moments with your favorite Disney characters. Many will be so excited to celebrate the journey with you.
  

Relaxation Spots

Taking breaks and staying cool is essential while pregnant. Here are some great spots to relax and recharge:

  • Resort Lounges: Take a break at one of the many resort lounges. The Enchanted Rose at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort are excellent choices. They all have great alcohol-free beverages or fun mocktail options!
  • Stores and Shops: For a break from the heat that is a little more active, browse a nearby shop while the rest of your party catches some thrill rides. 
  • Indoor Attractions: Enjoy air-conditioned attractions like The American Adventure in EPCOT, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom, and Finding Nemo – The Musical in Animal Kingdom.
  • Quiet Areas: Find quiet spots to rest, such as the gardens in the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT or the seating areas near the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom.
  • Baby Care Centers: Stop in a Baby Care Center, located in each park, for a place to sit in the AC and scope out what they have to offer for future trips with the newest addition. 


Pregnancy-Friendly Rides

While some rides are off-limits, there are still plenty of attractions you can enjoy:

  • Gentle Rides: Experience classic rides like “it’s a small world,” Peter Pan’s Flight, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in Magic Kingdom.
  • Scenic Rides: Take a relaxing boat ride on Living with the Land in EPCOT or the Railroad in Magic Kingdom.
  • Interactive Experiences: Enjoy experiences such as The Seas with Nemo and Friends or The 50th anniversary statues and interactive attractions like Turtle Talk with Crush in EPCOT and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor in Magic Kingdom.
  • Transportation: Enjoy the journey, hop on the Monorail or Skyliner for some different views of the parks and resorts.

Walt Disney World is a fantastic destination for expectant mothers. With a little planning and some well-timed breaks, you can have a magical and memorable trip. From delicious dining options and enchanting shows to relaxing spots and pregnancy-friendly rides, there’s no shortage of things to do while you’re expecting. You can also take advantage of Disney's Memory Maker and PhotoPass Photographers to capture some fun maternity photos during your trip. So pack your bags, put on your Mickey ears, and get ready for a magical adventure!

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
