Hi! I've been reading a few posts and it seems as though a lot of you are going to WDW in September like us! I will be 7 months (30 weeks) for the trip. Is anyone else going to be that far along? Has anyone gone to WDW around 7 months before and have tips to share?

Thanks!!!

We were in WDW in September/October last year. It was HOT, but it wasn't crowded, and it hardly rained at all. We enjoyed it!! I wasn't pregnant then, but I have been to WDW pregnant. I was about 2 months pregnant with my first DS, who will be 11 in May. We were there in late October, and the weather was perfect: not too hot, not too cool. I rode every ride that didn't have a warning. The only problem I had was that I was extremely morning sick, so that made it difficult to get up early. I was also tired, but we took it leisurely. I did have some food aversions, too, so eating was interesting! LOL

I think going at 7 months pregnant will be easier in that you usually feel better than in the first trimester. The only issue you might have is that the heat may bother you more. Just take breaks, get a misting fan, and drink plenty of water!!

Have a great time!

I've been 7 mo pg to Disney in Sept. And in a hurricane to boot. LOL If your pregnancy is progressing normally, you have no late trimester issues and your doctor hasn't put any restrictions on your normal activity you will be fine. But you simply must remember to drink lots and lots and lots and even lots of water. Sept is hot and humid as it is, pg women are prone to dehydrating and you're intentionally going somewhere that will suck up your water and zap your energy when you're not pg, so take extra care when you are.

It's going to be HOT, HOT, HOT! Almost as bad as August. We were there the last week of Sept 2004 and it was in the mid and upper 90's every day.

Other than that, it was great, low crowds and gorgeous weather, except for the day that Hurricane Jeanne came through. Don't let that deter you, Disney took good care of us, and it only last the one day. The next day was sunny and warm again.

No tips for being pregnant, just drink lots of water and rest when you need to.
