BIG PERSON and it's a small world
Spoiler alert - I'm a huge Disney fan. Mickey, Tink, WTP - love 'em all! Most of the time, you'd guess that just by looking at me. Hardly a day goes by that I’m not wearing something Disney. Want to know the Disney Happenings? Don't get me started. I'm the ultimate DisNERD. So, for us to be friends, you’ll need to love Disney, too. (Ok, not really – but it helps!)
Another way to tell that I’m a huge Disney fan is – well – also just by looking at me. Food is another love of mine; my food obsession rivals Winnie the Pooh’s love of honey. Like I said, I'm a huge Disney fan....in more ways than one. When it comes to Disney Parks, that’s good and bad. Disney is ingenious with its sweet treats and confectionary offerings. I can spend hours watching Disney's bakers at the candy counters, ogling over the delectable samplings. Oh Bother - how to decide what to try next! The downside? Disney didn’t necessarily take body size into consideration when designing its parks. As much as visiting the parks brings me joy, they also cause great anxiety comtemplating how to navigate the terrain as a plus size person. Regardless of how often I go (and I go a lot), there is always a lingering concern, “Am I too big? Will I fit?”
For those of you who are Disney Plus (Sized), like me, welcome. Disney parks were created for us, too. We are, after all, part of Walt Disney’s vision for an inclusive Disneyland. I'll share tips and information to help you get the most out of your Disneyland while sidestepping the disappointment and embarrassment of being overfluffed in a judgmental world. Welcome to everyone else, too! I hope you find this insightful and informative as well!

“To All Who Come to This Happy Place:
Welcome.
Disneyland is your land.
Here, age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams,
and the hard facts that have created America,
with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration
to all the world.” - Walt Disney
