Question:
Rides at Walt Disney World Florida

I am going to go on a trip with my churchs youth group to walt disney world. I am wondering about the seating for the ride space mountain. I have not been on it since high school and cannot remember how the seating was. I am six months out from RNY and have lost 91 pounds. I carry most of my weight in my butt and legs and still weigh 271. Can anyone help me with this question. I would hate to go on the ride and then not be able to fit. Thank you!!!    — Tammy M.

I just got back from Florida. I spent alot of my time at sea world and at universal studio's. Most of the attractions had a seat on the outside of the line that said try it, so that way you would know. I don't know about Walt Disney though. Have fun Annette

You shouldn't have any trouble. I've been to Disney weighing as much as 350 lbs. I carry my weight on my stomach not in my butt. They changed the seating also for Space Mountain. Its now two individual seats in each rocket and a bar for each that locks down. The bar locks at wherever it meets you stomach. I haven't had any problems with Disney's attractions, although I haven't been in a couple years and I know there are some new ones. Hope this helped.

Hi Tammy, I went to Disney about 8 years ago, I was about 250lbs then ( ***HUGE SIGH***, because I am MUCH bigger now) and fit fine on all the rides, including space mountain. Have a good time on your trip!

Tammy, I have been to Walt Disney at both my highest weight and my lowest... and have fit comfortable in space mountain.. (I too was worried) but if you go to Universal?? Watch out for the Hulk?? I was squeezed into that one last time by TWO attendants... the bar goes over your shoulders and straps with a buckle between your legs! I am determine one day to go back on that ride and fit comfortable!!

Hi Tammy! You will have no problem at all. I have been to DisneyWorld 10 times the past 5 years and my highest weight was 330 lbs. I am headed down there in 31 days yet again! I had surgery 7/18 and am down to 220 from 255! Enjoy yourself and drink plenty of water!!!
