Disney at 26 weeks pregnant: You Can Ride Toy Story Mania

One of the things I was really worried about was whether or not I could ride Toy Story Mania. I was being very strict with myself that I would not ride any rides that recommended expectant mothers skip them, but that turns out to be so many fun rides that I was really hoping this one would be okay. There are mixed feelings out there on the internets as to whether or not this one is cool for pregnant ladies, but as there was no sign saying I should not go on, I tried it.

And I am here to tell you that it’s okay! Here’s what you need to do: brace your forearms against the bar so that you are held steady when the car does it’s little spinny things–none of which is too fast to make you dizzy or sick. This worked VERY well for me because I felt stable the whole ride and was able to participate in the games. The ONLY time that I got uncomfortable was at the very end when it gets extremely jerky as you are coming around the last corner to exit. As long as you are prepared for that, just brace yourself a little harder. It’s not so uncomfortable or jarring that I felt like we needed to go back to the hotel, it was just surprising. Other than that the ride itself was great! Standing in line? Not so great. I recommend hitting the bathroom first if you’re doing the standby line and if you can get fast passes definitely go that route. But you can ride and not feel guilty/terrible! Hooray Toy Story Mania!
