Disney World - Fat Friendly?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I did a search but didn't find anything specific for this, it was mainly aimed at the marathons and races Disney does.

I have been to Disney at varying sizes, I'm currently 386lbs and 5'10" - I'm wondering if anyone has been on the new Seven Dwarfs Mine roller coaster while still fat? What was your experience? I'm going tomorrow and while I have lost 80lbs, I still worry I won't be able to fit in it, I've seen mixed reviews!!

Any help is appreciated :)

Last time I went to Disney, I was 345lbs and I'm 5'4" my hubby is 6ft and about 280. We both felt tight throughout the legs/thigh space but ok in the belly area. It was a bit uncomfortable banging around for our thighs but doable. The ride is not very long at all. Have fun!! I love Disney!

I went in the fall at 375 and 6'2". I pretty much rode everything with my kids except California screaming (did not try) cause I figured the chest harness would be too tight. The only issue I had was space mountain and that was because my legs could not really squeeze between the bar that came down. That being said I made it work safely just was a bit uncomfortable on that ride.

I don't have any experience on that ride, but just wanted to suggest doing a search for the ride and "pooh sized". There are forums dedicated to allll things Disney and I bet you'll get some info there.

I've been to Disney at about 300 and 5'6" and could do everything. Universal, not so much

I was at Disney last fall, rode Mine Train, and loved it. I weighed about 265 then, but I'm only 5'2, so significantly shorter than you. I bet you will be able to ride, but might need to ride in the cart by yourself? It is a very short ride, as another poster said. I have found Disney to be very fat friendly. I don't think there is anything there I couldn't do.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
