hey! I was just wondering and needed some reassurance... I’m a size 18/20 wearing a 2x-3x do you think I would have any problems on any of the rides? Thanks so much!

I don't think you'll have any problems.

The only thing you may have a problem with is Flight of Passage at AK, al lot of people have had issues with it.

That's funny... I've heard the exact opposite. What type of problems?

Ive just heart that some larger people (wether it be weight or height) can't fit the restraints.

The SDMT was not built for people with long legs, but its fine.

True. The last time I rode it I weighed in at 265#. I had no problem with the restraint, but, the leg room was very limited even with short little legs like mine. What I had heard about flight of Passage was that a long leg person had a problem but, general size didn't matter as long as you could straddle the ride vehicle. Disney is usually very good about accommodating larger economy sized people.

I have around a 35" inseam and had no issues with FoP. I'm also 6'4" and 220 lbs.

It wasn't impossible, just tight and a little uncomfortable. Not enough to worry about because the ride is so short that nothing has time to develop. 5'10", 30 inseam took a few minutes to figure out where to put my feet. Once I did, all was good.

On my last trip a month ago I tried the test seat they have out in front, and was told that I was maybe 3 or 4 inches from closing the restraint. So if you carry any weight out front, then it becomes a problem.

Are we talking about the 7DMT? When I rode it two years ago, I weighed 265. I am 5'10" tall and most of my weight is in the front (unfortunately belly only) and I don't recall any problems riding it. If you are referring to "Flight", I do not have any first hand experience, but, many have stated the it wasn't a problem unless you couldn't straddle the vehicle. So that I cannot vouch for. In the words of Mongo... Donno, Mongo just a pawn in game of life.

Nope - your comment was about FoP, and that's the test vehicle that I tried. I fit tightly into SDMT, but I do fit.

I dont have any weight "out front" but I am tall. 7DMT is not a comfortable ride. It's not like I am in pain when I ride it, but it clearly was designed with a smaller (or at least shorter) person in mind.

OK, sorry... we switch focus so often that I got it confused. So, like I said, yours is the first report of it being a problem. I will concede to your in person experience.
