I was a size 16-18, now dropped a size bracket. But I was ok, there seems to be a fair bit of leeway with harnesses but some seats were a squeeze bum space wise. I'm going next week and going mainly for rides so I shall let you know how I find things

Most rides should be fine, but rides like orbitron may be a little uncomfortable.

Im not sure if the size dimensions of the rides differ between the American parks and DLP but I go to Disneyland California with a female American friend who is approx 6 foot 3 and I would say is bigger than UK size 24. I have never heard her say she is not going on something due to her size. I wouldn't worry about something like that so don't skip something just cos you think you may be too big. Have a go at everything and just loose yourself in the magic of Disney

To be honest, I'd be more afraid of the turnstiles you have to go through, those are extremely narrow (in my opinion).

Hi,  I am fairly large in size about 20-22 and go on all the rides,  the only one which is a tighter squeeze in the bum department is crush but I still fit ok, and it is am amazing ride.
The over shoulder harneses come down to suit the individual where as the bar rides like Thunder mountain come down on both so if you are sitting with a skinny person the bar may   not be tight on them but ok on you.
hope this helps,  and enjoy the rides.

also just a thought, dont worry about the "boat" rides like Pirates or Its A Small World. I have been on both with my American friend and the "boat" didnt sink or tip over. The boats are actually on a track under the water so you wont be too heavy    but the boat may be lower in the water for some parts of the ride.

I promise you, you won't have any problems on the rides. Don't let any worries ruin your trip. Have a great time!

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!

I was a size 24+ back in Feb this year and was ok on the rides. Crush was a bit of a squeeze and orbitron was a bit hard to get out of.  I went on the horses on the carrousel with my 4yr old and couldn't get the belt round me, ( I did have lots of extra layers on too as so cold) and was told I could stand by the horse my daughter was on but not sit on horse myself, that was a bit embarrassing

Hi, I'm sure you will be fine!  Do they have the test seats like UK theme parks?
