PG and Rides ??

Hi all,

We will be going to Disneyland at the end of the month. DDs are 3-1/2 and 11 months. I am 5 months pg and hubby is well, hubby. I've seen other posts where you shouldn't ride anything at all, some say no coasters & the like. Dr said easy rides are ok. My question is this......can ride personnel refuse to let you board a ride if you look pg? A friend at work went many times during different pgs and was asked if she was pg, but her DH piped in telling the guy that she was just fat. Does this actually work? I just dont want to go through the embarassment of being kicked off a ride.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Maggie

There are warnings posted for rides in which pregnant women shouldn't ride. It is certainly not the majority of rides that they will keep you from...just the coasters and such. But, the warnings will be posted.

I can't answer if they would actually stop you from riding. I've never been in situation personally or not in which I would know that answer. That's probably a touchy situation, though. What about people who "look" pregnant but aren't.

If it were me, and there is a warning for pregnant women not to ride, I would not ride if I am pregnant. It's just not worth the risk to enjoy a few minutes of a ride.

According to this page, the following rides are the ones that have warnings:

Please check your guidemap for the complete list of ride restrictions) -
Magic Kingdom: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Goofy's Barnstormer, Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Indy Speedway;

Epcot: Body Wars, Test Track; (Mission: Space is not included, but I think that would be restricted.)

Disney-MGM Studios: Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Star Tours;

Animal Kingdom: Dinosaur, Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest

So, there is definitely a lot that you can participate in without these. Many of the rides are infant- and wheelchair-friendly, so would be pregnant-friendly.
