What would you tell "Hey Disney!" to do?
Fat shaming is bullshit, Tom, if you don't fit then you don't fit. Hell, they're gonna start weighing airplane passengers before flights, otherwise the damn thing won't take off lol….. While there is no need for the barriers, maybe they're trying to put 3 wide per row.
Another theory: the seats were modified to increase capacity…? I haven't been on the attraction, but assume that barriers limited the space. In my experience, cast members seem to be encouraged to maximize space on popular rides. My adult family of 4 was squeezed into one bench on Runaway Railway and were almost squeezed into a single bench for Na'vi River Journey. The latter did not work out.
love happy Tom!!!
It's insane. If the company is doing so well as they are, then why raise prices. They are obviously making plenty of money, so it is pure greed that is raising prices.
Tom. You are a racist. I am a proud LGBLT (Large, Gay, BLT) community member and find your comments against heavy people insulting. Disney needs to take a stand against people like you and Ron Desantis!
no shocker here…when outsiders come to the USA the first thing they're shocked and ask why are the people so big???😂😂😂
You can also fit more in a row. Like you can fit another small kid in there without the dividers.

I don’t think the ride change in ratatouille it’s just because people are heavy, without dividers if you have somebody with little kids you can get three people in one of those rows which you can’t do with the divider there. I think it’s partially because people are larger and I think it’s partially because they want to get more people on the ride faster. I would bet they’re not meeting their goals for how quickly they load people. I think they’re loading slow and they’re trying to improve that and improve the wait with that ride.
No you are not fat shaming I seen on flight of passage and guardians of the Galaxy not fit on rides and I feel so bad. So I think it's a good thing about Remy ride seats.
I have a feeling this is more about greed than plus size tushes being given more room. Without INDIVIDUAL seating you can pack MORE people into a row! So in fact they aren’t doing it to give people more room but to give them LESS room! Either way Disney wins!!!
Sometimes I get anxiety about older rides breaking down bc we are getting so much fatter and I’m worried the old rides weren’t tested for that increased weight capacity 🙃
Hey Disney, call Iger 🙂
You could have just said the barriers reduce accessibility and removing them improves it, without singling out any particular group needing accommodations for particular notice.
Glad to hear,I have had no trouble getting into ride vehicles but do find some narrow getting in.
This is honestly dumb af… Before changing the seats on that ride, they need to enlarge turnstiles (those don't fit ANYONE!!).
My partner is 6’5’. It’s a struggle to ride some attractions comfortably ESPECIALLY the ones from the 1960s at Disneyland. Any additional comfort is welcome.
Disney never should have gone to China.
Most of their rides are made for 5’ 10”, 170lb person. Not made for bigger people has been a huge problem.
Looks like they still got the seat inventions that ride on your prostate, very painful.
"I don't know if anyone liked Bob Chapek. Maybe his family. They might like him…I don't know" is the BEST ending to a WDWNT episode ever!
I would argue that there is plenty of reason for the international parks to make their ride vehicles more accessible, both to disabled guests or guests who need mobility assistance and for guests of size. Both groups of guests would then be able to better access and enjoy the international parks. There is no legitimate reason to keep barriers in place for access. More people being able to enjoy the parks is a good thing!
Only the larger American ones? Not and larger guest from other country’s?
My suggestion regarding "Hey, Disney" is to unplug it. It's watching and listening. You might have raised that concern in your story.
If you travel extensively like my wife and I do, you really realize how heavy Americans have gotten in comparison, especially after COVID and the whole body positivity movement. This is seriously affecting our longevity and quality of life here
Maybe his family. They might like him. 😂😂😂
I’m assuming there gonna finish the exterior of tron before they open the railroad
Semi-dwarf wheat, which causes an insulin spike, is the reason for the weight gain in people around the world but most especially in our country where wheat products are so prevalent in the diet. Just thought I'd mention that because people are confused as to why everyone is getting so heavy and they're eating the same way their parents and grandparents did. You can research the studies done on the semi-dwarf wheat which has been available since the '70s but most prevalent from the '80s forward compared to the old strains of wheat.
Tom u are just adorable!
Thank you for your comments 🙂 all the adorable chuckling ones especially! 🙂
They had the "partitions" because they want to be able to squeeze as many people as possible into the ride. So they think that those tiny partitions is separation enough to be sitting should to shoulder with a stranger. I wish that we would get away from cramming as many people as possible in a ride. It should be one "party", regardless of it is one, two, or three people, per row.
WOW that shirt went fast. Just tried to pick it up and sold out. BTW I started watched in 2020 so I've never seen "happy Tom" and I'm excited to see it🙂
I often think Universal could take a cue from this and make some of their seats a few inches bigger too!
I think that it’s time to put our really “fatty fat fat fat” people on real diets, so they can stop breaking the Disney rides
Careful, could see this happening on airlines. Instead of paying per seat, pay determined by butt size. That could be a good thing for those traveling with kids though.
I'm a new viewer, and I love this show. The host just has a fun demeanor, is clearly a fan, but delivers the news in a professional (but no overly tight) way. It's lovely! Thank you so much for your hard work
You mean 'fatter'? In Japan there were few tourists from europeen decent. The ones from the usa were easy recognisable: fat. And one female was clothed bad and indecent. Possible in Walmart, but not in Japan, where the females wear decent, expensive-looking, not even 'a la mode' as far as I know (dutch so not best clothed), but very sophisticated sweaters and coats (because it was a bit cold). I even have the faint idea they do specifically wear these great clothes to show their good taste.
In my opinion, Tokyo-Disney will survive while the other parcs might collapse due to mismanagement and stupid zero-covid rules. The japanese people are the most pleasant guests, eager to buy, eager to have a pleasant day, eager to please others.
11:39 I would look forward to rides on the "WDW Cruise Today".
Correction: Not "Large" guest but rather "Pooh Size" is a more acceptable description
