When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

short notice
I think the posture that Christine outlines in her book and video would be great for you but it takes time and patience to get the hang of it. For me I was sore at first because of training new muscles etc. so if you try standing and walking in the new posture all day tomorrow you might be kind of tired and achy. You could try using it off and on a bit and resting as much as possible. I think once you start the posture you will notice a big improvement in symptoms.

If you are going real soon then the posture will help but maybe you will 'fall out' of posture at first...
I would say if you are going tomorrow - take many breaks - Anywhere you can sit down - SIT - To take the ache off the 'underparticles'
But - upon your return getting the Book and getting yourself into posture will help you trememdously
Have fun at Disneyland

bend over
When I am on my feet alot it helps me to bend over for a minute or so. pretty easy to do- retie your shoe or something. Also if you find a low wall you could do some toe raises. (grab the low wall with your hands) maybe you could manage to find a sunny spot to lie down for a few minutes too- why sit if you can sprawl? Drink plenty of water- and enjoy your day.

heavy lifting!
i don't know how old your child or children are... i know that even with my nearly 5 yr. old (to say nothing of her 2 1/2 yr. old bro), disneyland usually leads to alot of lifting & carrying. if you are going with a friend or family member, see if they can do much of that for you. and encourage the kid(s) to use their own bodies to get on or off rides, etc. when you do pick up kids or push a heavy stroller, remember to bend with legs & lift up your pelvic floor muscles rather than tightening your abdominals. also, avoid caffeinated drinks as they do lead to extra bladder contractions & more pee breaks. it shouldn't be crowded at all, have fun!!!

I would like to add to Sue's comments that I often find kneeling with my feel under me better than sitting, if you can find some soft lawn for breaks (in winter - I don't think so), because in that position it is difficult to slump over, and keeping your breastbone high is easy. Hanging by two hands from, eg a playground bar (a la monkey) for 30 seconds every now and then stretches everything out too. Actually any movement other than standing is probably going to help, as long as you consciously correct yourself when you slump in any position.
Oh, and another one. When I have had to walk long distances with heavy bags I have discovered that wearing a rucksack (or baby) on the front is better for your posture and prolapses than wearing them on your back. Think pregnant and keep your shoulders relaxed.
I think more variety in your movements is better than less. Have fun.
Cheers
