A friend of fine told me about this message board and I am soooo happy she did. I guess I am "pooh" sized too lol. Reading all of the messages on here I see I am not alone. This site has alleviated so much of my fear. Thanks to all of you I am not afraid to go and I am actually excited about going now.
We are going the first week of January and it is a Christmas present to my children. They will be so excited and I will be too. Now I can look forward to making wonderful memories. Thanks!


Welcome to the boards! have fun planning!

I'm also Pooh sized, and I fit on every ride, including the Tea Cups, which btw, I barely fit in the Disneyland version, so I was concerned. Maybe Disney World is just bigger all the way around, no pun!

I did end up renting a scooter after a couple of days, and I wish I'd done it sooner. If you're staying at a resort, just ask about it at the main desk. I think Michael's was the name of the company I got mine from. Much cheaper than Disney's and you take it to your room with you every night instead of turning it in. Saved my legs and back, let me tell you.

Go and have fun!

My bottom is wide and I can tell you for sure that Disney has widened their turnstiles over the last few years. I remember back in the 90s having to squeeze in sideways and having a hard time getting through turnstiles but now they are absolutely fine (and believe me I haven't lost weight LOL).

The walking can be tough on your feet though...wear the very best cushiest shoes you have. LOTS of concrete so you need shock absorption!!
