Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / October 2006Disney
Hi all. I've been reading for some time now, and wanted to thank everyone for their help. Reading these posts really is an inspiration for me. I'm going to Disney for the food & wine festival. It will be tough to stay o.p., but hopefully with the extra points and all of the walking, it won't be too bad. The real reason for the post, is to see if anyone has advice as to what rides a very large man should stay away from as to not have to deal with "the walk of shame" if there is a ride that I can't fit on. I've heard that Disney is actually fairly ride friendly in this respect, but I'm still nervous. Anyway, thanks again for all of your inspiration. Matt no for you but welcome and I hope you enjoy your trip. Lee > Hi all. I've been reading for some time now, and wanted to thank everyone > for their help.

I know Disney like the back of my hand and most rides are indeed friendly to bigger people. The ones that you will have trouble with depending how bug your are, might be as follows........... (please remember that I am only 5'-5 and weighed 359 lbs, but I could still fit in all of these) Some of the seatbelts might be difficult to do up, but I think you'll still manage. On some rides, you may have to turn sideways to enter them, but then you will be alright Magic Kingdom ---------------- Space Mountain Splash Mountain Thunderrun Epcot ------ Mission Space - very tight! MGM Studios --------------- Star Tours Animal Kingdom ----------------- Everest My suggestion, is to try all the rides. I really don't think there are many thank you won't fit into unless you are very, very, very large. If you have trouble walking, you may want to consider renting an ECV - you can then enter the rides from the handicap entrance and if there is a problem, you won't be embarrassed. Disney is a great place to visit - I'm sure you will enjoy yourself very much. Eddie Weight June05-359.0lbs Current Weight-283.4lbs Loss to date=75.6lbs Goal Weight-180.0lbs Hi all.

I'm about 5'10" and down to about 350, so hopefully my experience will be close to that of yours. Thanks again.
