Disney world while pregnant second trimester
Yes, you can have fun at Disney while pregnant – here's how
When I was 25 weeks pregnant, my husband and I considered going to Disneyland since we just moved about an hour from the parks. Normally I’d look forward to the rides, attractions, decadent treats, and quality time with Mickey Mouse, but I was afraid my time at the Happiest Place on Earth would make me feel like the Most Pregnant Person on Earth.
Ultimately, we decided to wait until after our baby was born to head to Cinderella's castle, but knowing what I know now, I wish we would have gone back then.

I was pregnant at Disney World the last weekend of May to say it was hot is an understatement. If I had to wait a few minutes in line to get a cup of water, it was worth it.

A vacation to Disneyland or Disney World can be highly enjoyable while being pregnant! These must-read tips will ensure you don’t leave anything out!
Jared and I took a trip to Disneyland over Memorial Day with his mom and our niece. It was a blast! Even being 15 weeks pregnant. Actually, it was the perfect time for me to go: my nausea started to ease up around week 12 or 13 and I was finally getting some energy back. Plus, the weather was perfect and crowds were fairly mild (probably thanks to a lot of people waiting to come the following week when the new Star Wars land would be open–which, yes, we really want to go back for).
My plan to enjoy Disneyland to the fullest, even if I couldn’t go on any roller coasters, was to eat lots of food, take lots of breaks, people watch, and eat more food. Which I highly recommend, it was amazing and so relaxing! Besides the food, a couple more things made this Disney trip a super enjoyable experience while being pregnant, so read on for my top 5 tips!
