The Everything Pooh Sized Thread

[Elevationist]

As I'm quite short (5ft 3in) my legs would be no where near as long as that mans.

I sure hope those are a man's legs...

Hi all, first time to the thread! I'm 6'0" and a size 26 on the bottom and a 28/30 up top. I carry most of my weight in my bust and belly. Proportionately much smaller in the hips and thighs. So I'm not too worried about my first ride on 7DMT, thankfully. The ONLY rides at Disney I have trouble with at Disney are: Rockin' Roller Coaster, I pretty much have to crush "the girls" to get the overhead chest bar to lock down. And Tower of Terror, which is less my issue, I can get the lap bar downand locked, but it's a BAD idea to sit small children on the same row with me.

I'm going to Universal to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and I'm already preparing myself to not fit on HPFJ. I'm going to try the test seat and see if it will let me crush the girls the way I do on RnR, at least enough to be able to ask for Modified seating. I'm glad to hear Pooh-sized people aren't having trouble with Gringotts!

Hi all! Relaxing on the plane before take off! Will hopefully have an update on the mine train tomorrow! Any specific questions I can answer with regard to this thread, let me know and I'll try to answer!

It's snug, I'm not going to lie. However, remember you can put one foot in front of the other to make your thighs a little slimmer. I also didn't realize it was snug till it was on and secure and we were starting to move. I'm a 16/18 in pants. I believe I saw posted it was 13 inches, but it's not across your thighs, its just above your knees.

I am trying to imagine this, and am hoping I can get it right. Lol. My other option is to do what I do on other rides and get it where it needs to be and squeeze my legs in. I am sure I will be fine, and am just over-thinking it all. I have recently lost 48 pounds just not sure it is in my legs where it seems it matters on this ride. I will more than likely worry for the next 22 days and then when I can get on this will be me:

Hi set, Several years ago when I was going multiple times a year with my bff we purchased these on line. They were great, and we didn't have to ask for them every time we flew.. especially since we had to ask several times before we got them...

Oh good! I'm glad to know that they can really be used. I'd be so embarrassed if they called me out for not using their specific extenders.

ToT doesn't have a lap bar anymore, it's a seatbelt now.

Probably because of bellies like mine! I'm VERY happy to hear this!!

I'm in desperate need of rainboots but they need to be wide width amd wide calf. Anyone have any suggestions? LLBean has wide calf but they don't mention wide width

Oh no!

I have pretty much this fear... I'm a 16-18 (20, sometimes, on bottom if it's a weird fit), but it's mainly the girls and my tummy. Mainly the girls. I'm quite worried about crushing the crap out of them to get on RRC!

It's 5am here.. and we're in our airport hotel! Flying at 11am! So excited

Even if you have to, don't sweat it. It's a quick ride, and it's totally worth it.

Just got off the Mine Train! Not terribly comfortable, but absolutely no problem fitting and riding with my munchkin! Woo hoo!! More details later, but I really encourage most people not to worry!!!

 

[Cruisin101914]

Bagallini Purses are great for having extra length on the strap!

 

[Cruisin101914]

Also, body glide is fantastic!

 

[Cruisin101914]

Oh, and I have gotten great bathing suits from Lands End.

 

[Cruisin101914]

Thanks for this thread! I love it!

Hi everyone.

I'm sorry I've tried to search but can't find anything unless it being blind.

Has anyone pooh sized tried Gringotts yet! Those leg bars look vicious x

Hiya

Just bumping this. Also, Busch Gardens. Would that be a nono for 300lb+? X

I have read this thread for years and got so many great tips. I think I am going to take some of them to my young primary care physician. I am sure that women come in there with rash under their breasts...I love those inserts for bra that wick moisture away. Never had any rashes in years since I read about them on here. And body glide...can't live without it. No more chafing of the thunder thighs.
Any other good tips I can take to him?

Wait! I get those rashes! What inserts?! This sounds amazing!

Body Glide is great.. but Band Aid sells 'Friction Block' which is the same thing.. MUCH less expensive and comes in a stick that fits in a purse/pocket/fanny pack.

I can bring it into the park and re-apply if needed. I use it on several areas of the body. It's available at CVS/Walgreen's/etc.
(this is the same product, don't know why it's called Blister Block)

Friction Block on Amazon
