I am concerned that I might not fit in the rides. I wear a size 18/20 and weigh about 195lbs. Are there any other plus size ladies out there that have been to disney and can help with this? I don't want to be humiliated trying to get on a ride that I don't fit on. What should I avoid? Hopefully not everything! Please help!

It should answer anything you can think of.

My dad is roughly 5'9" and weighs well over 200 pounds. He and I would fit just fine in all of the "bench seat" rides. That would include tons of MK rides - Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, It's a Small World, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad etc. etc.
In Epcot - all of the country rides and a few in Futureworld - Mexico, Living with the Land, etc. are bench seats big enough to hold 4+ people.
I don't know about any of the roller coasters. Someone else will have to answer there..... I'm a bit of a chicken! :wave:

I am a larger lady at 5'10" and I wear a size 18/20 or 22 and I fit fine in all rides. With my longer legs I try to sit in the front seat on most roller coasters as they seem to have more leg space but I fit fine in other seats, too. No embarrassment. Have a fun time and do not worry!:wave:
Thank you so much!! I feel much better now :sohappy:

The only ride that comes to mind as being small is Space Mountain...I'm 5'8 and 130 pounds and have a hard time being comfortable in SM. I have a heck of a time getting in and out so I always try and get the front seat and even then it's tough. I see big guys (as in tall I mean) get in all the time, I don't see how they do it!

My Dad is over 6 feet tall, over 200 lbs and he has never had a problem in ANY ride in Disney or Universal.. NOT to worry, go have a great time.

I, my wife, and my daughters are all "large people". WDW is a fat friendly place. You'll be fine.

Astro-Orbiter should be an "avoid" on your list. I remember trying to ride this back in 02 when I was roughly 200lbs (I'm about 6', however). I fit, but it was brutally uncomfortable.

My husband is about 5'11 and is rather thin and he got stuck getting into our "car" on Astro-Orbiter. His long legs were hard to fit in the car and he said throughout the entire ride that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to stand up to get out because his legs were so long. He too said the ride was rather uncomfortable.

I have to agree with that. I am 5'4'', about 195 and I have trouble with Space Mountain. It is tight for me.

I'm 5' 6" and around 225 (not for long though as I have a goal to be smaller by Oct) and I've never had an issue fitting in the rides.

DS is 6'3" and weighs in the 300+ lbs. range and has no problems except leg room on Space Mountain. He only does the "big stuff" though......RnR, ToT, Everest, Soarin', Test Track, Mission Space, SM, BTM, etc.

I don't think you should have any problems. Have fun. And if you ever do get on a ride and feel uncomfortable, just leave, nobody will care.
