I know a few of you are pregnant or have been on past WDW trips. We have four kids, 8,7,4,3 and I am 22 weeks along, somehow, in 11 trips, I have never been to WDW until now pregnant! We leave tomorrow night and I am having a hard time choosing and packing park outfits. I am 1/2 in maternity and 1/2 in my regular clothes and have a pretty cute bump now (nice change from the, "is she gaining weight or pregnant" stage and before the "WOW are there two in there?" stage)
I have some soft cotton sun dresses that still fit, shorts and tanks and a yoga style skirt and tank option. I really don't like shorts and have always had issues in them. Also no Disney options, I usually have a cute Disney top from hot topic or forever 21 to wear one day. My maternity dresses are very baggy and hang lower in the front now but am a tad worried about my abundant pregnant bust in my tanks, seriously ther girls are out of control!
Just seeing what you all wore, open to suggestions...
The rest of the family is packed, need to finish my bag!

I think loose is better in the heat and with the heat you might swell a bit! I hope you don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the trip for comfort over style!!! Please take it easy and stay hydrated!:)

Please pack something in case your feet swell. At the end of the night for me my feet looked were quite a sight from being on them and the heat. I slept with them propped on a pillow each evening. This will be your fifth child? Wow. God bless you!

Thanks ladies, yes our 5th. By the time the baby is here I will have 5 under 9...I can't even believe it when I type it;)
I am a bit worried about my feet, no swelling yet. I am tossing in alternative pair of flip flops in the stroller in case I need a mid day change for my fat feet. The feet comments made me think I should put my wedding rings and annaversiry ring on my necklace, just in case.
DH and kids are finishing cleaning out Daisy (our Suburban) right now...getting so close! Yeah!

Congratulations! Wow this whole post made me wonder if we should change our plans about going in November. Glad we're not the only crazy ones! My wife will be 33 weeks along when we visit and I don't know if we've thought about the feet swelling and all the walking and standing. We may have to make a final call when we get closer to November. This will be our 5th as well and our oldest will only be 7! Good luck on your trip and enjoy.

Meyeet, I will post back and let you know. We are only doing two days and then heading to the beach for a week. We were planning a Sept trip but I am due then. Check with her OB, mine doesn't like us travel after 32weeks. I am planning to go with my husband at week 32 to a conference with my husband, OB said we would talk about it later;)
Blessings on your new child, 5 is the new 2...

I would go with @figmentfan423 and say the looser the better! I'd just bring all maternity clothes, and lots of comfy shoes. If they're still a little loose on you, you'll still feel so much better than squeezing into regular clothes or worrying if your are going to pop out, lol! You can also buy Crocs while you're there if all your other shoes are killing you.

Congrats and have fun!

We did, wonderful trip but too short. I wore a knee length tank dress and my trusty Teeva flip flops. Oddly my feet were swollen in the car ride but not at the park. I am glad I work out often because I was able to keep up and even wore my DS3 on my back in a mesh wrap. We did take a mid day break b/c ALL of us needed a nap;)
My dress was not maternity but had some streach to accomodate my baby bump. It was loose enough I was comfy and cool and able to deal with my children and get things in and out of the stroller with out my tushie or undies showing. I had a Mickey premium bar while waiting for my family on Splash, a CM giggled at me for putting a napkin on my bump, I always make a mess of thoose things!

I did have to wear a tank bra over my regular bra to keep the girls contained...they are getting out of control with this pregnancy;)

Krista,

Congrats on #5. And thank you for posting this thread. My wife will be about 29 weeks when we are scheduled for our October visit. So, this thread will hopefully help her plan her outfits. Considering she packs way more than needed now, the Oct trip should be interesting. :D

Loose clothes are a must I would think. Congrats on choosing to go while pg. I never would have. Too many rides to miss out on.
