Dedicated to helping plus-size park-goers make the most out of their Universal Orlando Resort experience
Welcome to Universal Big Time!
Anyone who is plus-size knows the panic that comes with preparing for a visit to a theme park. I have combined my knowledge of the parks, personal experience, and the experiences of countless others to build a reliable place where you can gain the knowledge and insight you need to reduce your anxiety and set yourself and your travel party up for success.

Universal Orlando has many attractions that are fully inclusive, but also a fair number that are not plus-size friendly.
If you are new to Universal Orlando, or theme parks in general, restraint types vary from attraction to attraction along with seat size. Two people with the same height and weight can have vastly different experiences based on their body composition. Some riders report having different experiences on the same attraction during the same trip based on time of day and the type of clothing they are wearing.
Universal Big Time provides you the information you need so you know what to expect, what attractions might cause some issues for you and/or your travel party, and ways to best mitigate issues when riding attractions at Universal Orlando Resort.
About Universal Big Time
Sarah Goff, Universal Big Time Owner and Travel Agent
I’m Sarah and I am so happy you are here! I have been a theme park lover my entire life. I have been all different shapes and sizes and that has impacted my ability to ride certain attractions at different points in time. I did a ton of research leading up to my first Universal Orlando visit and wished that I had a one-stop shop for information specific to plus-size riders. I found myself piecing together the experiences of others, trying to make best guesses about what might give me troubles. My anxiety skyrocketed and I had a hard time enjoying myself before and during my vacation. I've created this resource for you because I'm passionate about helping plus-size guests have a great time by being prepared before they even hit the park entrance.
