Disney World - Fat Friendly?

[yerawizardamy 241]

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.
