I am a large person. Approximately 295 pounds. I am wondering if I would have trouble with any of the rides at Disneyland
I can manage stairs fairly easily. I have stronger legs than any other muscle really but I will take it with caution. If I can't get in and out of these rides when I go to WDW I will steer clear of them at DLR hahahai would say that some of the turnstyles on the rides you might be squished and make it a little difficult to get through and for sure without a doubt there will problems getting on Winnie the Pooh and also you may have issues with fitting on Space Mountain especially if you are tall as well...not alot of leg room, and there is a possibility you may have issues with Goofy's Sky School....other than that you should be ok but......there is something that I never see that I really feel is important to stress.. although I dont think this goes for everyone, I do think that a number of larger people may have mobility and endurance issues...and where actually fitting into the ride may not be a problem, getting out of it may be more difficult if you dont have alot of lower body strength....for example...getting in Space Mountain and Matterhorn isnt difficult but getting out it can very well be...also, getting on the train sometimes is rather difficult to pull yourself up...and the worst of all is getting out of Splash Mountain....I have lost alot of weight in the last year and all of the problems are non existant for me anymore but when I was around your size I did have all the problems that I have indicated...the worst was Splash and i had to get help getting out and it was sooooo embarrassing that I didnt ride it again until just this past June...because now my endurance and lower body has more strength so I didnt have any issues....but let me you, I was scared to death waiting to get on that ride...my dd told me i wouldnt have any problem so i went ahead and bit the bullet and as soon as I sat in the log I attempted to lift myself with great success!!! so i breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed the ride but if i got over 275 lbs I probably wouldnt try it...the only way to know is how you are normally able to go up and down stairs and such...if you have problems then i would steer clear of Space/Matterhorn, Splash and Winnie the Pooh oh and as Bumbershoot said...dont even try astro orbiter lol
You have been so very helpful. Thank youFor rides like....

Radiator Springs Racers
Soarin' Over California

It really is much faster and easier to put your seat belt on while standing. It's faster and less awkward. The seat belts are really long on these attractions.
Good luck and have fun!
PM me if you have any questions.
Thank you. This link is very helpful. I keep watching videos of DLR and WDW and looking at the rides to try and see if I will have problems with them. Yes I am that obsessed about it lmaoThis link has pics of all the ride seating: http://allears.net/dlr/tp/seatpix.htm
This set my mind at ease a bit as I am a size 24-26 and am 5'8-5'9 so thank youThe Hubby and I are both tall. I'm 5'8 size 26 and hubby is 6'3 about 295.
We have no issues in the parks what so ever... There are some attractions that have no leg room or that are a little tight...
This link was very helpful. Thank youI found this thread while poking around for something else...but found it very helpful.
Hope that helps
I was looking at pictures of the ride vehicle on the website and wondering how people get in and out of the thing lolIf you have bigger legs, I probably wouldn't even try Goofy's Sky School. When it was Mulholland Madness, Dh wasn't able to ride it. The restraint is really narrow (it's a lap bar that comes down) and he would have had to fit his knees in between the bars in order to allow the bar to get under his belly, and his legs are too sumo-esque for that. It was his absolute worst moment, because the guests waiting were NOT kind. The CMs were wonderful; those guests though, they must have been really emotionally damaged people, to be that mean to a total stranger. (worse, it was just before DH was finally diagnosed with a pituitary tumor that was causing most of his weight gain, and it was a VERY emotional time anyway)
Astro Orbiter is incredibly awkward, especially if you have a child riding with you who isn't quite big/old enough to get in and out on his/her own.

What in particular is the problem? I'm a bit concerned about this ride as well.The only other ride I have a problem with is the chest area on CA Screamin'.
