I buy a lot of things from Catherine's. My local store has a lot of pretty professional clothes. For vacation, I bought mostly white capris and colorful knit tops.
I am 5'2" and usually wear XL or XXL and size 14-18 depending on the type of clothing. Where can I find summer dresses for short rounds?! I am not a catalog shopper because I like to see how something feels. ( I am very sensitive to some materials) And, to add insult to injury, I tried on a super large sports bra that practically strangled me because it lifted everything up so high! So please, if you have recommendations on where I can find XL petite sized clothing, please advise. Thanks!
Do most of you wear dresses and skirts in the hot weather?
A friend and co-worker of mine(who shares my Disney Addiction) just got back earlier this week. She was turned away for not fitting. She was heart broken and claims she will never go back to WDW. I hope they make some modifications so more people are able to ride.
Was it close? I'm 5'5 and a 26/28, but leaning toward 28.
I'm here now but haven't been able to snag a fast pass. I'm not going to wait in line for 2 hours and be turned away. Frankly, I can't wait in any line for 2 hours.
It seems like I've had more close calls on this trip...hmm...I think it's because my nephews are here, and I don't want embarrassed.
Expedition Everest and primeval whirl (with a 13 year old) was a little tight. The sum of all thrills was barely a no go. I rode dumbo and barnstormer by myself.
Now I'm looking at the surrey bikes that say 3 to a seat. What do these 3 people look like?

Now I am worried about SDMT. I am 5'8 and a 16/18. Always had chubby thighs. I fit in a normal plane seat without an extender. Think I will be ok?
I was at islands of adventure yesterday and did not fit the test seats for Forbidden Journey or Dragon Challenge. I'm 5'5 and 253, 49" bust and 44" waist, size 18/20W. It's got to be body composition because I've read so many larger people fit in the ride (and saw many larger people getting off as I waited for my daughter). If I had to guess it was a combination of my chest and a broad shoulder width preventing the harness from coming down. I had room to spare in for FJ test seat as far as my bum goes, but DC was tight on my hips.
Rode everything I tried at WDW.
I was disappointed in US because I hadn't even considered that I wouldn't fit. It was a little embarrassing to try the test seat but other people tried them after I did and at least I knew. I was pretty distraught for one kid of about 16. He was with his family and he sat in the seat at FJ and didn't fit. He took off very upset. I felt so badly for him. He wasn't even that large, but he was tall (over 6') and very solidly built, but proportional. I took it from his family's discussion that he had already encountered the same on other rides.
Do most of you wear dresses and skirts in the hot weather? I always had thin legs, I am a typical apple, but with aging has come some very unattractive lines and I would prefer to avoid shorts. Thanks again for your help!

That happens to me too!! Last time I was there I had to adjust my sandal straps (and I had been wearing them for months at home without a problem) and they were still cutting into my ankles!! I ended up finding some Midol at our resort and took that, after all that was the best way I could think of to get ride of "bloating & irritability"!! Also, congrats on the turnstiles!!Does anybody's feet, legs and ankles swell? We just got back. I was semi good with my eating, walked 54 miles and gained 9 pounds. I'm hoping and praying that is from the swelling and muscle gain. If I'm gaining 9 pounds in a week, there better be some cheesecake involved. Two cokes and an ice cream cone better not do that. Good news: on my last trip I couldn't get through the turnstiles at Carousel of Progress but could do it this time!!!
