How fat friendly is Walt Disney World?

[@torimay9174]

Thank you for making this! Everyone should be able to go and have fun no matter your size. I’m still going to try and lose some weight before I go to Disney and Universal in November but it’s nice to know what to expect.

If you want to try look up Dr. Berg on KZbin he explains things perfect.

I’m also a size 26/28 and have been turned away from rides at other parks in the past, which creates a lot of anxiety for me just thinking about it. We are thinking about going for the first time next year, and this has really made me feel so much better about it. Thank you so much for this video!

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for being so honest about your experience. I honestly got emotional hearing how nice Disney was for you guys. My husband and I are talking about going to WDW next year and I told my husband we will have to start "walking training" now.

[@LiloNStitches]

Yes definitely do walk train. Get some good shoes and start walking. Break them in. Then you will be ready to go.

[@deedeeodonnell696]

Thank you so much for this video! I have never wanted to go to Disney because I myself am on the fluffy side and was always afraid I would not fit into seats etc. I love you two so much for being real people with real issues and willing ot share with us. Bless you all !! 🐰🐰

I can certainly understand not wanting to go due to being overweight. Disney World is truly a fluffy friendly place. If you ever do go, we certainly hope you find it just as magical as we have.

I've had the same problem as you guys several times. It's embarrassing and as time goes on the embarrassment is still there but I've gotten used to it a little and it doesn't bother me as much anymore. I've been to Disney World once before but didn't ride much because I didn't wanna waste time in line if I was going to be too fat to ride. We're going again in a few days and I'm really excited (was planning on standing in line this time and just going for it) thank you for putting my mind at ease! I don't think I'll be as anxious this time around and I have you two to thank for it!

[@LiloNStitches]

Did you go yet? Did you make it on any rides? Disney is the one place we have never felt shamed or bad by any cast member or ride.

[@lexilove8900]

This guide is super helpful for bigger people. I was super paranoid about Disney before I went and everything you've said is GREAT information. Spot on! The only ride I struggled on was Space Mountain and it was getting out that took a minute and then Soarin got some reason my seat belt almost didn't fit. But it finally clicked. I think it was a user error lol. I wear a size 5 Torrid so, I'm a BIG girl...you will love Disney!! And don't feel bad asking the cast members cause they will let you know without feeling shamed.❤🖤

We totally get that. have fun there's a lot to do at Disney no matter your size that is fun and entertaining make memories with your friends. Sometimes when our kids go on arrive that we can't fit on, we'll go over and meet a character While they're on the ride.

Thank you so much for making this video! I just booked our first family trip to Disney World. I’m also a size 26-28 so I was getting worried about what rides I’ll be able to fit in.

I think it all depends on your proportions, Im so worried about that right now and im a size 24, but i gut and stomache and no butt haha. But I seen a video from someone who was about 415 that demonstrated how to get into the machine in order to actually ride. He said he rode it twice, and its giving me a little confidence.

[@lorenapina2052]

[@martelvonc]

I would also note that if you are tall, don't ride in the very front of some of the ride cars. I'm 5'8" (215lbs) and the front seats of "Small World" are angled in. My knees were screaming from being bent tightly the whole ride.

[@LiloNStitches]

For those who have that kind of an issue, I usually suggest sitting in the front row. The other option is sitting slightly side Waze if you have issues with your knees

[@JDD_MD]

Agree for autopia! Think it’s made for the kiddos. I’m 5’11” size XL and autopia at Disneyland is such an awkward fit. Essentially my legs don’t fit. I have to slide my legs in sideways and my knees are jammed under the steering wheel.

[@LiloNStitches]

Totally agree. I'll let my lil man ride that alone while I watch and wave lol.

[@kateicummins8660]

I've dreamed of going to Disney since I was a kid but haven't ever been, ever since I had my daughter I've wanted so badly to take her but I've been so afraid because I'm a 24/26w and I thought I wouldn't be able to ride anything. Sincerely, thank you so much for this video. We'll for sure be planning a trip in the next few years.

Any issues with Mission Space? I hear it’s pretty tight and claustrophobic for larger folks.

[@amandaberofsky]

Yeah, stay away from that Dudley Do-Right Ripsaw Falls at IOA. I used every bit of strength I had to get out of that log ride so they wouldn't have to call the fire department or something to get me out. I assume Space Mountain is similar based on what you said.

[@LiloNStitches]

Depends on size. I was able to get in at 350, just depends on how weight is carried. But I just avoid it now since there are so.many other rides I can ride.

Thanks for the video! I'm 340 and for me it's Dwarfs. The restraints make 0 sense though. They could've easily did a single bar through the middle of the legs. Super strange. Also there's like 6 inches to a foot empty space either side of the bars. So bummer. Flight was tight but I barely got the click. Everything else is fine. Disney is very inclusive. Also side note I learned the seatbelt trick after an embarrassing experience at Disneyland. They are retractable so thats a big bonus.

[@jenniferbrasfield2987]

Ty for this video! I always get so anxious when going to a theme park. My worst fear is to not fit after waiting all of that time. We are about to go to Disney for the very first time. I have a question, on the rockin roller coaster, how is the seat size for hips? I am wider in the hip and I have gotten on some where my butt couldn’t go all the way down to the seat because of a molded seat area. How is this as far as this ride goes? Is there any other I need to be worried about as far as a molded seat shape?

For the majority, the seat belts are pretty long. Test Track for example pulls out very far. In fact we suggest pulling the belt out before you sit down, then buckle. Makes it easier

I wish they would do it like they did for slinky dog. Other than that the only ride that didn't work was flight of passage in animal kingdom. They couldn't secure my legs, I am not sure why I dont have particularly large thighs, but I couldn't do that ride. That was pretty mortifying...other than that I did okay

Thrill rides are less forgiving and have higher g forces, making them less likely to be engineered to support larger individuals. Universal is known for thrill rides.
