You will get on most rides but like mentioned previously i eouldn't recommend The Orbitron. I'm a UK12-14 and i found this ride very restricting, just getting in and out was hard work. It would also be restricting if you very tall. My husband is over 6ft and he had his legs squashed up to his chest in this ride.
Just relax and enjoy yourself, it's not always about the rides it is the magic of Disney , the atmosphere it creates :D

No they don't have test seats. teggabsmummy, you will be fine on Rock & Roller coaster!

You will be fine on the rock and Rollacoaster. As for Orbitron as I said it's a pain getting in and out of and I won't be doing it again, but that was due to it making me feel sick.

We all talk about Orbitron, but it really is a second rate attraction, brilliantly themed but basically the same ride as Dumbo and Flying carpets in the studios ride them instead.

It isn't second rate at all, its a beautiful experience, that genuinely amazes me everyime. other than the tight seating, its a ride better than all of the rides in toy story playland.

Beautifully themed yes, but better than RC Racer or Parachute Drop? Not in my opinion! And that's what makes DLRP so brilliant! Different strokes for different folks and we all get to enjoy ourselves!

I agree (not the RC or parachute drop as i can't do these types of rides anymore) but there is something for everyone to enjoy

I'm a big bloke and the only rides that I would advise against for you is Orbitron, Crush and RC Racer. Orbitron is very narrow and quite difficult to get in and out of. Crush has a different kind of restraint and has to come down on your lap, if you have a large stomach, and I have!, it can be difficult and very uncomfortable. Rc racer has an over the shoulder harness that is very tight.
If you want to try these rides then go ahead, if you can't fit you just leave! and if you are worried about being embarassed, don't be, you will never meet any of these people again!
have a great trip!
Well said Captain!  :D
And I agree with the info on RC Racer, it also has a kind of moulded seat for each person with a seat belt that clips up between your legs as well as the pull down harness! I'm a size 22/24 but I'm tall too and I found the seat section a little bit uncomfy but OK once settled. However the ride itself freaked me out, much to my son's hilarity!!!  :-[
Just go and enjoy, don't worry about fitting in!  xx

Another teensy weensy thing to consider is that as you're going in december and it will most likely be bloody freezing, I'm assuming you're gonna be fairly well wrapped up, from past experiences when I've worn a thick padded coat it makes a difference when the cast member "clamps" you in some of the rides. I'm 14st and 5'9" so not massive but I've felt crushed sometimes. Just enjoy the magic at the parcs, you won't be the only big girl there :)

You'll be fine! The seats were bigger than I remembered

I'm the same size, and my hubby is a chunky chap too, but we found everything fine. We didn't do RC or Orbitron though - but we fit on Crush's without any issues. :)
