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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
