Waiting in long lines can put a damper on your Disney World trip And with park capacity increasing , that can lead to some really long waits.
Main Street, U. Under the Sea With the Little Mermaid Throughout the day, keep an eye on the attractions that have wait times that fluctuate but are generally minutes or less think The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh , Star Tours , etc. This scenic and comedic boat ride explores the exotic riverways across Asia, Africa, and South America. The Jungle Cruise is roughly 9 to 10 minutes long depending on your skipper. A classic Disney attraction and not to be missed! Speaking of classics, the Pirates of the Caribbean is in a league of its own.
This legendary ride even inspired a film franchise starring Johnny Depp. The treacherous dark boat ride sails past singing pirates and fiery Caribbean seaport towns. The swashbuckling voyage lasts about 8 minutes. Hop aboard a Doom Buggy and journey through a maze of haunted chambers. Here we include Disney stage shows and any sort of ride or attraction.
These ride times do not include pre-shows which usually add a few minutes. They all clock in around 30 minutes long. First, these ride times don't include pre-shows which will add a few minutes. In the case of Soarin', Space Mountain, Splash Mountain or Star Tours, it doesn't factor in the 10 mile walks to actually get on the rides. That's an exaggeration, but it can be a hike. These are the times from when you're seated, buckled or harnessed in. You might be "Pooh-size," or, as one reader described himself, "Baloo-size," or you might be quite a bit taller than the average Disney guest.
Whatever your reason for reading this "At Large" page, we're here to put your mind at ease so you can have the best vacation ever. These seats can accommodate anywhere from two to ten guests and have no arm rests to get in the way of larger guests. Cast members are trained to recognize that, with a larger guest, they can only seat five instead of six in a row, for example.
If you feel you will be crowded in the row to which you have been assigned, politely ask for another or a separate row. Seats for 2 or 3 Other attractions are designed with seats to accommodate two or three guests, but larger guests may be more comfortable riding alone. Don't hesitate to ask for your own ride vehicle if that's how you will be the most comfortable. Individual Seats Finally, there are attractions with individual seats.
Generally, these seats are designed to accommodate guests of all sizes, but it is here where just a bit more research is needed on the guest's part. For some attractions, there is a "test seat" outside the attraction where you can see if you will be comfortable. Be sure to take advantage of those "test seats" if they are available.
If not, you can ask the host or hostess cast member if there will be any problems. Cast members are a wealth of information. Be sure to "pick their brains," not just about attraction seating, but about any questions you might have about anything Disney.
Some attractions have seat belt extenders. Also, sometimes it's hard for the At Large guest see to where you click the seat belt connector into place. Don't hesitate to ask a Cast Member or the person next to you for help. Friendly help is always available. Attractions with Lap Bars On "thrill" attractions where you share a "bar-across-the-lap" restraint with other riders, it is not a good idea to ride with very thin or small guests in the same row.
Your larger girth will prevent the lap bar from coming down close enough for the smaller rider to feel secure. Just ask to sit in the seat behind the smaller guests. One other caution about "thrill" attractions where riders share the seat: make sure a smaller rider is on the "inside" of a spin.
Ask the cast member whether the smaller rider especially if it's a child should be on the left or the right. This will prevent the smaller rider from becoming squished by the centrifugal force of the attraction. Example: Big Thunder Mountain. Sit on the edge of the seat and slide back into the seat rather than just sitting down, trying to fit between the arm rests.
You will be comfortable in all Disney theaters, but a bit more comfortable in the newer ones like "Mickey's Philharmagic. Armless or extra-wide chairs can be brought into that area for you if you find the regular seats to confining. Again, the Cast Members at the attraction are your "go to" people. They are there to help you; don't hesitate to ask. Some guests have indicated a minimum of three to 11 or more miles a day.
