Ride Size

I was wondering about how we are going to be riding together. It will be me, DH, & DD (5). I am a BIG mama. I have heard the term "Pooh sized", but I'm pretty sure I've got Pooh beat! LOL! DH is medium sized -- really normal sized with a pot belly. DD is pretty normal, but has a pot belly herself.

The question is -- Will we all be able to ride together or will one of us end up alone? I'm thinking of clam mobiles, the Haunted Mansion, etc. I don't think we can all fit together for Dumbo and that type of thing. What do families of 3 usually do?

Thanks!

you are too cute!

We have 5 in our family. 1 of them is an infant. Some rides he didn't ride on because he was sleeping etc. So we sometimes had a party of 3. It was me and 2 DS's or DH and the 2 DS's. We always took 2 vehicles up. Usually it was the 2 kids in one and then the adult behind. Unless everyone has a small butt I think it might get uncomfortable even if you weren't "pooh" sized.

We are tall too, so that adds to it.

When they ask how many in your party, the CM's will size you up and tell you 1 car or 2.

Speaking as a Pooh Plus sized mama myself I'd have to say it depends on the ride. We all 3 fit well enough on one carriage for the Haunted Mansion, but we usually take 2 for Thunder Mountain, there is plenty of room in the car but you do so much sliding around that poor DD is always getting squashed in the middle lol!

Being pooh sized myself, before I even booked this vacation I did extensive googling and found this website, it has allll kinds of stories, pic of the rides everything to put your mind at ease. So go enjoy yourself, I know we will be as soon as May 25th rolls around!
