Everyone and every pregnancy is different. In my first pregnancy, I cruised at 12/13 weeks when most people would think that's crazy bc of morning sickness (also in July.. in Bermuda and Bahamas).. it was hot as balls out, but I managed.

At 20 weeks with my son, I had a hard time walking the length of a parking lot. MOST people feel their best in their second trimester but it's hard to predict. With my son I was also the odd one who felt like a million bucks at 37 weeks till I delivered.. I felt better closer to my due date than I did at 20 weeks.

My SIL did Disneyland while 30 weeks pregnant. She had a difficult pregnancy but managed to have a good time. She did need a wheelchair since she had bad sciatica. So don't be afraid to rent one if you have to. I'm sure your three year old will have fun sitting on your lap!

We are a Disney loving family and go often. I think you will have a great time. You will be able to go on every ride your three year old can go on. I just suggest to go really early to the parks. Go back to the resort for lunch and a nap (maybe a quick swim) then go back to the park.

I just went in March at 16 weeks. It wasn't bad at all because I wasn't feeling big yet. I was still a little sick, but it was manageable. I only got sick one day. For whatever reason, I was less nauseous there than I am at home (22 weeks and still sick some days). It will obviously be hotter in July than it was in March though. There was only one day of our trip that felt really hot. I won't lie, it was getting to me. But we had plenty of water (bring it to the park with you) and would refresh here and there by taking in a show in a dark theater with AC. Plan some sit down character lunches to take a good break mid-day.

And don't feel like you have to get every bit in. We kept going back to the hotel to rest/hit pool with every intention of going to fireworks at night, and most nights, we just crashed. My legs were really tired after all the walking. My kids are young enough that they didn't know they were missing anything, so I listened to my body and rested.

My friend went at 30 weeks and had a good time (in July as well).

Re: Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

I went to Disney when I was prob around 24-25 weeks. I was totally fine, tired, but it's Disney. I went in May, but it was unseasonably hot - like 85 degrees plus everyday, so water was key.
The biggest difference in July would be the long lines I think. None of our lines were more than a 30 minute wait, and those were rare, it was more like 15, so that made it a lot easier. We also took days off in between park visits, my older LO was 2.5 at the time.

Re: Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

I did Disney when I was 17 weeks. It was super hot and we walked a ton but I was generally fine. I felt great throughout my entire pregnancy though. One of the days as we were leaving the park around 6pm I discovered that I had a fever of 101 and a sinus infection. I traveled again to FL at 33 weeks (not Disney) and felt great. I did Sesame Place in late July and was due in August. I think it's an individual thing.

I did it twice, once early on and once around 26 weeks with Temps in the high 90s. Listen to your body and keep hydrated. The thing that would concern me now is if Zika mosquitoes will be there or not.

Re: Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

I've gone 2x this pregnancy, once at 12w and again at 30w. As long as you rest when you feel you need to, it's totally doable! Make sure to stay hydrated

Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

I think totally doable. I just did D.C. this week and we averaged 8-9 miles a day walking. I am 31 weeks. I took breaks when I needed, wore comfortable shoes and stayed plenty hydrated.

Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

Totally doable. I did 5 days in Disney at 28 weeks pregnant at the start of May. Would I don't again? Hellllll no but to see my then 4.5 year olds face was worth every swollen ankle and curse word I uttered that week.

Re: Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

I did Disney this past December when I was about 22 weeks pregnant. We weren't there from open to close. We're not morning people so we took our time getting to the parks. We had pretty hot days for December too, 80+. Just use common sense. Take lots of breaks, stay hydrated, comfortable shoes. Have fun!

Re: Disney and Pregnant!!!!!!

No, not crazy! I've done Disney pregnant but I had only just found out and it was my first child lol, it also wasn't in the summer. But I did do 9 days in August with a 9m old last summer! Just stay hydrated, remember to take breaks and you'll be fine!
