ride size

Both my husband and I are "Pooh" sized with him more abdomen and me more busty. I can only find that Everest has a tester car and no others. I am especially concerned about the Rocking Roller Coaster shoulder harness not clicking. Any thoughts or knowledge?

I too am pooh sized! I'm 5'3, pant size 16/18 and very chesty - I wear a 40H bra size. I fit on every ride just fine - including rock'n'roller coaster. To be honest, that's the only ride I've ever been worried about due to it being an overhead restraint and I fit fine with room :)

On flights of passage it will be calf size most likely that determines if you are able to ride.

Stomach size and height can be issues on 7 dwarfs.

Other than those you should be good to go :) hope this helps!

Rock ‘n Rollercoaster has a test seat but you need to get through the queue to access it. It is behind the door of the “chicken exit” at the ride load point.

You can access that test seat without waiting in line if you ask. Rock 'n Rollercoaster seating is not as restrictive because of the over-the-shoulder design. The biggest issue is a long torso.

I just wanted to chime in that in addition to calf size, height and tummy size can also be an issue on FoP, since both restrict your ability to position your torso against the "chest support" (I'm sure there's a better name for it) and still have adequate room for the "back support" to fit against your back. A very fit gentleman who waited in line with us last week and happened to stand about 6'5" was unable to ride FoP, because his long legs prevented him from being able to slide far forward enough to fit between the front and back restraints. My DH, 6'0" and Pooh-proportioned, with all his weight being carried in his belly, was just able to fit after a diminutive female CM took what looked like a running start at the back of his seat and threw herself into the back support until it clicked. It may have been a trifle unorthodox, but he was grateful that it worked, and he had no trouble whatsoever on any other WDW attractions (RnR, 7DMT, etc.) :) I certainly got the impression that the CMs (who spent a good 2-3 minutes just trying to help the "tall man" in our group to see if there was any way the vehicle could accommodate him -- and when they couldn't they made sure he and his group all got extra FP+ so they could so something else together) will do whatever they can to try and help people fit, and they do so in as unobtrusive and considerate a manner as possible.

Thank you for advice. I usually do not like riding when it takes all the strength of a CM to buckle me in, especially when the "ladies" are being squished.My husband is way embarrassed by not fitting. Glad to know they offer an alternative if not able to ride.
