My DH looooves Disneyland so that's where we're going on his birthday. AF should appear the day before we go. If not I'll probably test before we leave for Disneyland. Here's my WWYD: If it's positive, would you do the rides that say "not advised for pregnant women"?
If I called the OB to ask, it could take hours for them to call back. I could call beforehand, at risk of sounding like a nutjob. Plus I always thought that those warnings were mostly for women who were farther along in their pregnancy. But maybe they're not? After what happened last time I really don't want to take any chances. But if I can't go on any rides I'm really debating on even buying tickets for myself as my DH could go with his friends and I could just hang in the hotel swimming pool.

Re: My outrageously optomistic WWYD? (Clicky)
It's weird that you should post this, because I was just thinking about this last week! Not that we had a trip to Disneyland planned, but I was thinking about how I'd like to go, and then thought, "huh, I wonder if I could go on the rides if I was KU?"
I really have no idea what the answer is! I'm assuming it would probably be OK, just because at that point, a lot of women don't know they're pregnant and do that kind of stuff anyway without any problems. That said, I voted for the third option because I'm a worrier.
Summer 2011
Here's my opinion based on what I just went through this past weekend.
DH and I have been actively trying last week, and we also took our kids to Canada's Wonderland (huge theme park in Canada with TONS of rides and coasters). I was reluctant to go on any rides and such, but I did (after all I would have only been like a few days, technically not even 3 weeks so I thought nothing of it). Like PP said, most women do that sort of thing and don't even know their pregnant.
Skip ahead a couple days, and I started spotting. Could be totally unrelated, but now I'm doubting my decision.
I say call ahead, even if you sound like a crazy woman.
I had this same concern the last time we were ttc; I asked my SIL, who is an OB/GYN what I should do, and she said she was more worried about me drinking around the wrold at Epcot than going on the rides, since we were so early and it was unlikely anything would happen. I went ahead and rode the rides, and ended up getting KU the day after the trip (O'd late, I guess), so it was moot.
You sould do whatever you are comfortable with, but that was my experience
