Rides that larger person can't fit on?

[lkaanda]

My extended family is coming to join us this year. My brother in law has a large stomach. I am concerned about going to a ride and finding there may be a ride he can not fit on comfortably. I don't want him to feel embarrassed, so I was hoping to avoid that. I figured if I knew ahead what could be a problem I could let my sister know, and maybe avoid that area to avoid any embaressment. Or perhaps she could just volunteer to go on the ones that he may not fit on with their son. Any help would be appreciated.

The question is pretty vague. Size is kind of judgmental as well as physical. Without knowing how big the stomach is makes it impossible to really give a definite answer.

I will say this...I am also a big person and my largest areas are my shoulders and my stomach. I am close to 300 lbs and I have never found anything at Disney that I don't fit in. Sometimes a little tight...but never a deal breaker. Without knowing what dimensions you are referring to, that's the best I can do for an answer.

He will probably fit on everything.. Disney's rides are amazingly roomy. I love that about this place

Thanks for your help. I am a horrible judge of size and weight so I would not be able to give better details. It is good to hear that it sounds like he will be able to fit on the rides. Thanks!

Our DD is pretty big for ten, and I am a toothpick. On astro orbiter I was really squished in behind her so that ride could be an issue if you wanted to share a car. By himself I think he would fit just fine though.

I know that rides like Expedition Everest have test vehicles outside of the ride to see what is and isn't a comfortable fit.

Yeah, I've ridden Astro with my small granchild with no problem, but once when it was just my adult dd & I the CM took one look & put us each in our own car.....

The first time I went to WDW I was almost 350 pounds. There were only two things I couldn't do and those were RnR at DHS as well as the virtual roller coaster at DisneyQuest. The reason for my issue was the over the shoulder restraint systems.

When I went back in 2009 I was 50 pounds less and had no problems on either of these.

I'm sure he'll be good to go.

Enjoy your trip!
