Doing Disney---pooh sized

[jes3890]

Hello,

I am going to Disney World in May 2011. I was last there in March 2009 but have gained a significant amount of weight since then. Currently, I am a 50" waist size and just under 300 pounds. I am worried that I will no longer be able to fit into the rides at Disney World because I visited a theme park here in Minnesota (ValleyFair) back in October and had difficulty. I would hate to get all the way to Disney World just to find out that I can't ride my favorite rides.

My question is, given the dimensions I have just named, could I still fit into Mission Space and Rockin' Roller Coaster?

You should search pooh sized. I have seen this mentioned before and I think people gave their stories about going and if they had any trouble.

We were just at the world in February - I was VERY pooh sized then and didn't have problems with most rides.
The turnstiles gave me a problem, but most rides were OK.

Also, like the PP said, there is a thread on the boards - maybe on the Disabilities board? that helps deal with going to the parks pooh sized.
It was very helpful to me when I read it.

It is very long, but it is everything you need to know about going "pooh sized" to Disney.

Quickly to ease your mind, Disney is very accomidating to those of us who share the "pooh" body style, so don't worry.
At our local park Cedar Point, it is difficult for me as well. But when I get to WDW there isn't anything I can't ride. Haven't tried Mission Space, but everything else including RNRC is fine.
