Any attraction with a safety restraint system does have a maximum size limit for the Guest to be able to safely experience the attraction. However, these are all very generous limits, and many have "test seats" located somewhere nearby for the Guest to be able to make an educated decision of whether or not they will be able to ride.
Off the top of my head, attractions that may not be able to accommodate Guests of certain body dimensions are:
Rock 'n Rollercoaster
Expedition: Everest
Mission: SPACE
Soarin'
Sum of All Thrills
Additionally, in order to experience the Wild Africa Trek, Guests must not weigh more than 310 pounds when fully outfitted in the trek safety gear.

Space Mountiain too. Those seats are pretty small, whether you are wide or tall. (I'm fairly tall, and I'm always uncomfortable in that ride.)

The turnstiles coming into the park can be pretty rough. :wave:

Well, at the risk of getting myself in trouble by saying this... DH is very large... over 400 and he hasn't had trouble riding anything at all other than Mullholland Madness in Disney's California Adventure. I am "Pooh Sized" myself and we got on SM with another guest who was the same size as DH. It must have set off some kind of alarm because they (very discreetly, I might add, very well handled) routed our ride vehicle off to the side and re-distributed the load. He is able to fit on everything.

My DH is large and at WDW he has little to no trouble with rides. THe most trouble he has is with shows and the seats. Rides not so much.

I agree about the turnstiles. I'm really not too "pooh sized" but I feel like I barely fit through the turnstiles sometimes.
Aww I love that you said "Pooh-sized" instead of the dreaded F word.
i would never call someone pooh sized Frank,,,,,lol

I'm about 5'2" tall and overweight....but I have never had a problem with rides/attractiions, etc at Disney...other parks..yes...but not Disney. very comfortable as far as I can remember...

I am 5'2" and carry most of my weight in my stomach and hips. Turnstiles are hard for me but I think it is mainly because I am short and they hit me right in my widest area. If I was taller and the arms were more in my thigh area I don't think it would be such an issue. Every time they replace an old turnstile with one of the laser ones I do a little happy dance. :lol:
I've never had an issue with any ride restraint system though. Space Mountain is tight but the front row is the best bet. I love the Everest seats...very comfortable and no size issues at all. We did learn the hard way that my 90 lb. niece shouldn't ride Big Thunder with me though...:lookaroun :lol: She was flying all over the place.
As a previous poster mentioned, telling the CM grouping people at rides that you want to break up your party in multiple rows in a way that is most comfortable is a great way to go. I've encountered a few CMs who thought it was a good idea to cram 4 large-ish adults into a row of IASW, PoTC, and LWtL. Damn near capsized that IASW boat. :lol:
Disney is definitely the easiest place to go for larger people. There are few rides at Six Flags parks that I can get the restraint system to work properly. One of the many reasons why I have stopped going to those parks. I haven't been to Universal or IoA but am hesitant about the restraints there too.

My wife and I are almost exactly the same size. 5-8 and 350 lbs. She is very pear shaped, whereas I am more apple shaped lol. Neither of us had any trouble on any of the attractions at WDW, however we did not try and I do not think we would have fit on Sum of all Thrills. And yes the turnstiles were a little tight on the older MK rides.

I'm confused since pooh was actually smaller than a young boy.......

Yea...well...sometimes there is just no room left for logic. Too many bigger people crammed into a row and all...:lookaroun
