Navigating Disneyland in a plus size body is a very different experience. Heck, navigating LIFE in a plus size body is a different experience. As a plus size woman who goes to the parks pretty much weekly, I wanted to create a guide to help other plus size people navigate comfortably. These recommendations came from a poll I did where I asked 300 plus size people what they use to when visiting Disneyland. I wanted to make sure I had a great list with something for everyone! Below you will find tips in regards to what to wear to have a comfortable trip, the best places to rest, what rides you will likely fit comfortably on, and the best places to eat when visiting Disneyland and Disney California Adventure as a plus size individual.
All of these links are clickable to make shopping for them easier.
