I think I might cry!!!! Trip CANCELLATION pending....

Sorry about having to cancel the trip but congratulations on the pregnancy. As long as you're more than 45 days from check in you'll get back all the money you've paid on your package including the $200 deposit.

Wll I'm sorry and happy for you all at once!! Certainly congrats on the pregnancy! Always awesome news. But yeah, bummer about canceling the trip.

We have had to cancel once before. We had a trip planned for September of 2011, but I ended up having to have neck surgery, knee surgery and shoulder surgery back to back, and just couldn't go with all the restrictions the doctors were putting on me! No bumpy or jerky rides, lots of rest, keep the walking to a minimum....what?!?

We had to move it to April of 2012. I know it was the right thing to do, but it was painful to postpone!! My neck thanks me for it though.

Sorry about having to cancel, but congrats on the new comer! It's rough and I feel your pain. WDW will be waiting for you!

I went to WDW at 29 weeks pregnant with #1 and at 19 weeks pregnant with #2. I also went to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and DL in the first trimester with #2. It's fine. With #2 we were there during Food & wine and the World Showcase was a GREAT place to be! Not for the wine, of course. Had no probs. You can go on Pirates and Kilimanjaro Safari, but I chose not to. The walking is not that bad. Just slower. I am not having anymore kids, but I would do it again. You can still ride so many things. It does make you slow down and you are kind of forced to find things that you would have never found.

While there during my first pregnancy my Husband had to go to continuing education classes for a whole day. So I went solo to MK, How fun. We were undecided on a name. Neither one of us could decide between Anna or Heather. So while I was at MK alone, I got her her first ears. I filled out the little card for the name and somehow I wrote down Anna. When my Husband got back to the room I showed him and it was decided.

I took my time shopping, one of the characters from the Main Street Trolley Show came inside, because she saw my enormous belly, and pinned a First Visit button to my belly. I am HUGE while I am pregnant. I rode a few kiddie rides, and, of course, its a small world, and the best part was the TTA. It is a lot of walking, but you can pace yourself. Animal Kingdom was my worst day, it is sooooooop hot there compared to the other parks.

I say, unless it is for financial reasons or any other personal reason, don't cancel just because of the pregnancy. Having said that, I didn't fly anywhere once we were past the 1st trimester. I know you can, but I feel bad since I don't know what the baby is doing in there. Does it make their ears hurt? We are only about 9 hours away, we always drive to WDW. So that was a non issue for us.

And by the way!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This really is exciting news!!!!

Here are my pregnancy shots. I didn't get any good WDW belly shots while there with #2.

I totally understand wanting to postpone when your wife is pregnant. If I had the luxury of being able to take trips often I probably wouldn't postpone, but with how little we can afford to go I wouldn't want to waste a trip on not being able to take full advantage of my favorite rides, drinks, etc. What a bummer, but congratulations on your little surprise! We had to put off our next trip until Sept 2014 or January 2015 when our little one will be at least 1 yrs old, as well. Keep up with the planning and dreaming about the next trip though, it's what keeps me sane!

Huge congratulations to you and your wife, but I agree, it is a bummer to have to postpone your trip--but I think it's wise since you can't go that often and want to get the full experience. I also recently found out I am expecting and so we had to put our next trip way on the back burner--we were going to do one in 3 years, but we've decided we want our kiddo to be a little older so our next trip won't be for almost 5 years!! But I'm still planning it already anyway (at least tentatively) just to keep the dream alive

Oh, my. I'm so sorry. But this has to be just about the happiest reason to have to cancel a WDW trip. So hang in there, it will all be waiting for you when you can finally get back to Florida.

Meanwhile, may I suggest that you and wifey make sure you get that alone time you so desperately need? Someplace closer, and more affordable. A nice quiet offseason week at the beach, for example, watching the ocean and the sunsets, drinking mocktails, catching up on your reading, doing easy activities that won't stress wifey or baby, and reminding yourselves why you got married in the first place. Or the same idea in the mountains, or the desert, or a town somewhere with interesting history and sights where you can easily drive from place to place so wifey won't tax herself too much.

And take advantage of having Disneyland so close to home while you wait till the big WDW trip is finally doable.

As CCP say, if you have to cancel a trip, this is the best reason to have to do it! Congratulations.

We were planning on going to Disneyland in September, adding it on to a short trip to we doing to California. DH got slammed into early retirement in January, we ran the numbers, and decided we had to cancel the Disneyland portion of the trip. I envy you that at least you will get your "Disney fix" there for the next couple of years. I haven't been since I was a teenager, back in the 60's (yes, I'm ), and with the price of airfares from Ontario to CA, I don't think I will get the chance to ever get back now.

Think of the fun you will have introducing TWO children to WDW in a few years!

Boy, I really need to have a coffee before I post. Sorry for the slightly incoherent sentence.

On the new surprise addtion to your family!!!

Sorry you have to postpone your trip - with a new focus all the new adjustments and changes that will come along with your new addition - the time will hopefully fly by until your next WDW adventure!

This is a great idea! I second it!

BABYMOON!!! Congratulations!! What about a Disney cruise instead?? She still couldn't sample the adult beverages, but you'd get some Disney in your life, with minimal walking and LOTS of relaxation!!

Oh yeah, that might be no bueno. Keep us posted on what you decide!

I know what you mean when you say you think you might cry. For 9 months I've been obsessively planning a trip to Disneyland and Disneyworld with a two month trip to Central America inbetween for Jan 2014.... and now the Aussie dollar is heading south. Two months ago it was $1.06 US and now its down to $0.93 which means I've already lost more than 10% of my budget... if it goes much lower I won't have enough money for my trip and will have to postpone it for 12 months. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I know that I WILL get there eventually but... yeah, I think I might cry too.

On the upside, I might get to plan a shorter and closer to home holiday, and planning is half the fun of travelling!

Sorry you have to postpone your trip but contratulations on the reason.

Congratulations! We had to cancel our May 2012 trip (due to serious medical reasons, which I won't go into on this thread) but it has made planning for the rescheduled trip this November so much sweeter. I think we will appreciate it even more because we have had to wait and plan for longer. By the time we get to the World in November, it will have been 2 years and 4 months since my last Disney fix!

Cutting down my stay in LA is definitely an option - we don't have direct flights to Mexico so have to go via LA (and I'd rather get over jetlag in Anaheim than Mexico City) but the 5 days I was planning on spending there can get cut back given how many of the rides will be "doubled up" at WDW. Could spend just 2 days there and see the parts I haven't seen before (Cars Land, Fantasy Faire, World of Color) and just do the "only at DL" rides like Mr Toad and California Screamin'. Would save a bit of money in motel and ticket costs.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. Can't add anything to the mix re what to do but hope you enjoy whatever it is. 2 blocks from the beach sigh I would be there all the time.

on your new member to the Disney family.

I have canceled many a Disney trip, and it's the pits.

However, I also went to Disney 8 months pregnant and took my newborn to see Mickey at 12 days old. So I don't really understand not going for this.
