Liberty Tree Tavern: Allergies and Accessibility

Our first meal this trip was an early dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern (in Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom). I was apprehensive because, while I’d heard good things about this restaurant in terms of food allergies, it was still my first meal at Walt Disney World since long list of allergies became an issueContinue reading “Liberty Tree Tavern: Allergies and Accessibility”

All the Rides and Attractions I was Able to Access this Trip as a Fat Person who uses a Mobility Device

For those of you who are new here, hi! I’m Amber, and I want to help ease the minds of anyone going to Disney who’s ever been walked off a ride at a theme park because they didn’t fit.

Home Blog: Episode 2

It’s been a super busy week here as my family wraps up preparations for our trip.

Fat-Friendly Parks Part IV: Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The parks at Walt Disney World are the most fat-friendly, plus-size or “Pooh-Size” welcoming theme parks in existence. As a self-identified fat person who wears between a 3-5X, I’ve done “the walk” from several rides at other parks when I can’t get the restraints to close… and with very few exceptions, I have been ableContinue reading “Fat-Friendly Parks Part IV: Disney’s Animal Kingdom”

Pre-Disney Jitters

It’s been a long time since I walked through the gates at a Disney Park. In the grand scheme of things, it was only summer 2017, and that’s nothing compared to many people, but this trip was originally planned for early 2020. But life happened, I had my youngest during the early days of aContinue reading “Pre-Disney Jitters”

Pain Points for the Plus-Size Guest at Disney World in 2017

Size 32 jeans, 4 and 5x shirts. I carry most of my weight in my butt/hips/thighs (though the rest ofContinue reading “Pain Points for the Plus-Size Guest at Disney World in 2017”
