Hello guys! I haven't posted in here since January when I was first planning our trip. We were there from 2/20 to 2/25 and had an amazing time! I rode EVERYTHING with no problems. I am a size 26 and only 5'3, hold most of my weight in my stomach and up. Even the rides that had the seat belts I had no problem. I remembered you guys saying to pull the belt out then sit down, but honestly, I didn't even have to do that. The ONLY ride that gave me any type of problem was tea cups. I got on just fine, but I was wearing these slip on shoes on that day, and it somehow slipped halfway off when I was trying to turn sideways and get out of the cup so I had to get my shoe back on super fast and I was a tad embarrassed because I was figured everyone thought it was my weight that was the problem when it was my poor choice of shoes! BUt other than that, every thing else I fit in just fine. We walked on average 13 miles per day, so needless to say my legs and feet were killing me every night so I made sure to take pain medication with me, and I'd take it in the morning before leaving the hotel so that it would kick in and that prevented me from having too much pain.
Oh yeah, I was even able to ride on Thunder Mountain with my daughter and son on the same seat! my son is 10 and big for his age, so I figured there was NO WAY we could sit together, but me, my 6 year old and 10 year old sat on the same seat together.
We had the most amazing time ever. We are already planning to go next Feb. and try to make this a tradition. They never once made me feel uncomfortable or out of place. Most of the people my size were riding on scooters, but I was bound and determined not too and I'm so glad I didn't because I've noticed that now that I'm home, I'm able to walk further on my treadmill. I'm hoping to lose some weight this year and then compare this years pics to last. I'm figuring if I'm smaller, I can move faster and ride everything twice!
Also, the way we were able to ride everything was getting in the park early, I made breakfast reservations for before the parks open every day I was able too, then we hardly ate and got at the front of whatever line we wanted. Then we would use our 3 fast passes by 11am and after that my husband and I took turns in the FP Kiosk line, and stayed till closing. We also took a midday break back at the hotel for the kids to get a rest so they could stay out till closing. We also started doing the parent switch on the rides that the 6 and 10 year olds loved like Test Drive, Mine Train, ToT, RnR etc... What we would do also is gather a lot of those FP tickets up at rides that had really short lines, and then save them and use them on the rides with the long waits. You can use them for 3 people for 3 days. We did the parent switch twice in a row on test track on Wednesday so my kids rode it 4 times in a row with no wait! Come to think about it, I don't think we waited in a line the entire trip. We had a late reservation at 1900 Park Fare on Monday night, and my GPS was down so I was an hour late and they were closing. They cooked us fresh food, brought back Cinderella, and all the characters just for my kids, AND added 3 extra fast passes on our magic bands for the following day. So on Tuesday when we did our second day at Magic Kingdom we did Anna and Elsa with no wait, and then the kids did Mine train twice in a row with no wait with the bonus FPs, then they rode it another 2 times with parent switch passes.
I just can't understand why people hate fastpass. It's amazing as long as you and your hubby/significant other doesn't mind riding separate turns. It just allows the kids to ride everything twice in a row without having to stand in line. Like I said, I can't remember standing in line for anything. We stood in line at Aloha Isle longer than any ride.
Anyway, I'm going to post some pictures so you guys can see my size. Maybe I can help someone out the way you all helped me. I would have never went to Disney if I hadn't found this thread. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and calming my fears. The memories I have with my kids can't be replaced. And if there's anyone reading this who hasn't went because you were embarrassed, DON'T BE. You will not find any place on earth that is as welcoming as Disney. Universal needs to learn a thing or two from Disney, and maybe I will visit them one day. But until then, Disney is going to be our go to vacation spot till my kids get sick of it.
Back row:
You should definitely fit. Relax and enjoy. Disney is made for everyone. 
Maybe even grab you an ice cream or hot dog and have a late night snack while you people-watch! (That's what I did last time, god bless Casey's Corner!)
