Actually was watching the movie again from closer to the beginning and it got very interesting. I can now see why it is so popular. I unfortunately couldn't finish watching but plan to asap.
I recently read that both of the main attractions in Pandora are not weight/size friendly. Anyone have any details about this? One of the things I love most about Disney is the inclusion factor. I know folks have had size issues at other parks, but not at the World. I always reassure friends that they don't have to worry and they can enjoy all the attractions, so this makes me sad.

I have read multiple complaints about this as well. I also read that Disney didn't realize it was that big of a problem and supposedly at trying to fix it. They at least knew it was going to somewhat of a concern since they offer "test seats" prior getting in the lines.

Hi All- I just got back from my trip yesterday -
As far as the Pandora Rides-
Navi River - is a boat ride, very slow- the boats are the same size as Frozen or Pirates of the carribean in seat size- ( the boats have less seats per boat) the size is no different and I did not see anyone having trouble.
Note: this ride is Good but not great, very short - I rode it 3 times and it just didn't impress me based on the hype
Flights of passage - Sort of like Soarin but with an individual seat- you get on a seat that looks like a motorcycle/snowmobile. I am 6'3 260 and I fit fine, no issues at all. My wife has large hips and fit fine. I didn't see anyone having troubles, but they do have a seat outside the entrance that you can try before attempting.
Note: this ride is awesome, very impressive - one of Disney's best in my opinion. I did it twice- I would have rode it many more times if I could have.
