Whether you love to experience all the great rides and attractions, meet some of your favorite Disney characters, watch the incredible parades and nighttime spectaculars like Fantasmic! and Happily Ever After, or snack your way through the theme parks, there is something for everyone.
Another thing that really sets Disney apart from other theme parks is how accommodating they are. Guests come in all shapes and sizes and have different needs, and Disney does its best to meet those needs.

Despite the fact that there are so many different types of people who visit the resort, you might think that no one would really care about someone else who looks a little different.
However, one woman said that her Disney World trip was a “nightmare” because people would not stop staring at her.
Plus-size Panamanian model Gracie Bon recently visited The Most Magical Place on Earth and said that she was looking forward to having fun. That fun disappeared when she realized that a lot of guests were staring at her figure.

Ms. Bon is a very well-known influencer and has more than 10 million followers on her Instagram. She has spoken about her weight loss journey and has claimed that she did not have any plastic surgery to achieve her results. She is known for her small waist and very large backside and legs.
In her video, Ms. Bon called out the people she said were staring at her, most of whom made some sort of face as they walked behind her, or she walked in front of them.
She said that she was shocked at the audacity of some guests. She said that she cannot magically wish herself skinny, and she wishes that people would just treat her like everyone else.

This is not the first time Ms. Bon has called out other guests while visiting a Disney theme park. Last year, she visited Disneyland Paris, and once again said that other guests would not stop staring at her.
Unfortunately for Ms. Bon, the Walt Disney World Resort video did not get the kind of responses she was hoping for. Many of the commenters said that she chose to modify her body so she could stand out, so she can’t now complain about it.
Ms. Bon has repeatedly said that she has not had any plastic surgery and that her figure is all-natural. But because her legs and buttocks are so disproportionate to the rest of her body, people simply don’t believe her.
Last year, Ms. Bon also went viral for saying that she was forced to use a private jet because the airline seats were too small for her. She demanded that airlines make seats more accommodating for plus-size flyers. She also received a lot of backlash for that video as well, with people commenting that her unnatural figure wasn’t the airline’s fault.
Nearly every ride and attraction at Walt Disney World can accommodate guests of most shapes and sizes. The most restrictive ride is probably TRON Lightcycle/Run, but even that attraction has modified seating in the back.
How do you think Gracie Bon was treated by other guests at Disney World? Do you think she has a point, or do you think she really did modify her body to attract more attention? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!
