Some people think I am crazy for what I just did. I am 26 weeks (6 months) pregnant and we just got home from a Disney trip. Now, granted, we live 2.5 hours away from Disney so I didn't have to get on a plane or anything like that. Originally we had planned to do two days of the Magic Kingdom, plus Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and Animal Kingdom. When I found out I was pregnant we had to make some adjustments. So we opted to still go to Disney and just do the Halloween Party on this trip. We hung by the pool, explored Artegon Marketpalce (about 20 minutes away), and walked Disney Springs. We're saving our tickets for the winter/spring and my son's birthday- when I won't be pregnant anymore!
We definitely made the right choice. We had a good time over the course of the four days we were there. We took it easy and only made half-day plans so that all of us could relax. My husband even said he appreciated that we didn't feel rushed!

Something fun to note. When we showed up at 4pm it was really hot outside. Our first ride was Peter Pan. The Cast Member at the entrance was talking to us for a few minutes and asked if we had Fast Passes. I told him we did. So he let us in, then he came running after us with 3 "freebie" Fast Passes to be used on any ride we chose. We used them wisely and it saved us some time. A few of the Cast Members at ride entrances also handed them back to us and said to use it on another ride ;) There's nothing like Disney Magic!
Rides I successfully rode at 6 months pregnant:
We missed a few because there was thunder and lightening. So they closed those rides down. A couple were also under construction. Otherwise I would have also ridden:
My advice to pregnant women is to give yourself a few extra inches when those safety bars come down. We brought our down on the Little Mermaid ride and then my husband accidentally pulled it closer. I had to sit sideways because my belly was in the way of the bar! oops!
Disney is definitely doable while pregnant. As long as your doctor says it's safe to travel, you should still enjoy yourself! They like to sprinkle Disney Magic here and there. The photo below shows my son and myself with the free slushy we were given at Disney Springs (Downtown Disney).
