The 180 lbs Disney Weight Limit Rumor is Nonsense
There has been a rumor circulating for weeks now that there will be some sort of Disney weight limit implemented on rides for those that are 180 lbs or more. It’s caused some fear in certain Disney guests, and a whole lot of befuddlement in others. So how about we clear up this rumor once and for all?
Is There a 180 lbs Disney Weight Limit Coming for Rides?
No, there is no Disney weight limit for those weighing 180 lbs coming to Disney World, Disneyland or any Disney Parks. The rumor is completely unsubstantiated, and thus holds no merit.
If you think about it, the rumor for this Disney weight limit of 180 lbs for rides doesn’t make any financial sense for Disney World. After all, according to Healthline, the average weight of a man 20 years or older is 197.9 lbs.
So, if Disney were to implement this weight limit restriction, it would essentially ban a large portion of Disney fans (and certainly countless fathers of families) from enjoying everything that Disney World has to offer (including, of course, rides and attractions).
If that were to happen, what incentive would any man have to come to Disney World? How could a woman convince her brother or friend or boyfriend or husband to shell out the cost to go to Disney World—only for them to get there and be unable to get on any ride?
Disney would not only lose significant park ticket revenue, they would lose massively in the court of public opinon (let alone the media).
And this isn’t even factoring in the fact that 1 in 3 adults in America is overweight. So Disney would not only be cutting off most men from being able to enjoy rides, but a decent percentage of women as well.
Wrapping It Up
So regardless of your size, have no fear here. There is absolutely no merit to the rumor that a Disney weight limit of 180 lbs is coming to its rides or attractions.
Still, it should be noted that you technically can do Disney World without rides, and have an enjoyable day, as well (if that’s your choice, of course).
