Going to Disneyland as a family of 4 with 6y and 22 months but my oh has always gone on rides but now we have baby number 2 I'm fearing the rides at Disney due to my size!! Having gone back to work I have become less active I've been piling on the pounds!! Anyone tell me if they are plus size (22 stone up) & been on rides as in the nemo ride the dumbo the rocket ride any of the roller coaster rides?? I was fine on tea cups it's a small world the elevator drop (non of which use lap belts) but worrying this year as I don't want kids to loose out! Sorry for big post! X

I'm not sure but there are friendly Disneyland Paris forums that should be able to help you are already answer the question for you.
Look for disboards or dlprmagic -they should be able to help.

Will your kids really want to be doing roller coasters at that age?

Have you tried the DIBB boards? They generally cover Disney USA but they also have some sections for Disney Land Paris.

I was a size 22 at Disneyland Paris, and did not have any problems fitting into any of the rides. Not did I get the feeling that I would have had problems had I been bigger. Sometimes the bar pressed against my tummy, but it was -9C and I was wearing a lot of bulky clothes.

The Orbitron (? Rockets going round like the magic carpets/dumbo rides) and the driving ones (Cars one and the big driving around a landscape one) were tricky to get into and out of, because quite low and legs stretched out forwards.

Disclaimer: I did not do any of the more 'exciting' rides.

My 6 year old will go on everything she is able too she is a real thrill seeker and is desperate to go on the racer ride and the roller coaster ride in Disney studios! I have been to Disney 4 times even as a size 20 but was still too scared to ride in fear of not fitting!!!! As my eldest will be dragging my oh on everything I fear having to wait around slot if we don't go on and her missing out! Obviously she will be limited to what she can go on anyway but having 2 kids I wanted to swap about!! Recently lost 2 stone 2lb but in a bad place at the mo and can't diet when I'm low so hoping to regain some strength to loose more before June!! I didn't know what dd dash or what ever means I'm sorry can you please explain? X

If you go on the trip advisor forums for Marne me valee you can ask questions about this and there are a lot of people to help.

Fwiw I went last year and am big. I went on buzz laser blast, the dumbo train one and some others which I've forgotten. Sometimes the turnstiles are a bit of a squeeze but ok.

Try not to worry too much and just enjoy the experience.
