Genuine question as I've never been to Disney. What will they do with Barney? Surely the point is to go on rides together, not one at a time whilst the other one looks after Barney and the bags. He will still be a small baby and won't enjoy all the noise and bright lights so why not wait a few years until he's older?

There is a few things they can all go on, but yeah, alot of the time they will be riding things individually.

It's not like they actually go on many rides anyway. Their Florida vlogs are basically them going on the same five rides over and over then sitting down or going to one of the Disney hotels to walk around. I like their Disney vlogs but I always feel like they waste alot of time not going on rides.

Dave will be designated baby holder cause he won't fit on many things.

I agree Dave will be watching/Barney holding IF they make it to DLP.
WDW is geared to cater for the larger guest. Rides are roomier, the rides at DLP aren’t.
It will be Flight of Passage all over again 🙄

Absolutely. I'm an average sized woman and I find a lot of the rides "cozy" shall we say. They're designed for petite Europeans and kids, not Pooh sized people like in WDW. Dave won't be able to fit on much.

They do have facilities for parents of small children at Disney and a way of going on rides without waiting longer in the queue.

Yet I can’t imagine taking a young child to Disney. I’ve got an almost 3 year old and I’d still wait until they’re 5 plus.

They’ll get a shock when Barney starts crawling/walking and they can’t just sit on their arses all day!

Of course the Disney trip is nothing to do with Barney - poor Princess Sophie isn’t excited enough by the birth of her first child. She simply must go to Disney 🙄

TBH - even if Dave does get his act together and starts losing weight, the rides are still going to be a very tight fit for him 😬

Then we’ll be treated to the old ‘my calves are just too muscular’ probably claim his entire body is too muscular 🤦‍♀️
 
I went to DLP with my husband a few years ago. We're both tall and both a bit bigger than average.

We went on Astro Orbiter and it was the worst experience ever! We were in the queue and saw other adult couples in one rocket and we weren't sure we'd fit but the cast member sent us through. We got to the rocket and took one look and knew we were not going to fit. Then a cast member just started shouting at us in French and pointing as I was trying to ask for 2 separate rockets or to just not go on at all, he just kept shouting in French and pointing so my husband got in and I basically sat on him rather than between his legs like you're supposed to.

It was hilarious but so painful! Worse for my husband as I was pressing his knees against the metal and every time we moved it dug under his knee cap. I thought I was going to fall out because I wasn't really sat on the seat at all. It seemed like the longest ride ever. Needless to say we didn't do that ride when we went to WDW!

I can't think of many rides Dave will fit on comfortably in Paris. Even in the WDW vlogs when he was smaller he would sit with his arm around Sophie so they would fit and in the picture on Instagram today it looks like it was still a bit of a squeeze then.
 
🤮 the breakfast

Also Dave’s hoody is COVERED in dog hair, have they never heard of a lint roller??

I'm sorry but if I was them I would be using this opportunity to save, save, save. Soaf can have a loaf chair all she wants in Barney's room but Barney's room isn't his at the end of the day. The house doesn't belong to them. They come across as so immature, what 30 year olds do you know says "flamily" like a 5 year old. It's embarrassing, they have a baby, time to grow up. If the thought of a holiday to Disney gets her through the days then I feel sorry for her. I hope she doesn't have pnd.
 
I think it’s Dave’s stupid way of ‘hinting’ that he wants to be gifted a peleton, without a) putting in the hard work and earning the money to buy it himself, and b) because an expensive bike is obviously the only way he can possibly lose weight (apart from y’know, actually getting out of the house and doing some exercise.
Do we really think Dave will honestly be able to fit onto the saddle of a bike though? He only wants a bike now because his man crush Matt was gifted a real Halfords one a while back.
These two honestly have no goals or aspirations of their own, it’s like they just skim YouTube and insta and pine over what others have? They just both seem very unhappy in their own lives if that’s how they feel
 
I really don’t understand why Soaf is so desperate for that awful loaf! I got made redundant from my job of 8 years a few months ago whilst 39 weeks pregnant, it wasn’t an enjoyable time to say the least. So how they can waste an extortionate amount of money on a chair when they live life pin sale to pin sale I don’t know!

I will be bloody furious if they are gifted one!! But I’m hoping that as there was such an uptake on indoor and virtual cycling during the spring lockdown that they don’t need to be gifting them!

I highly doubt, for once, they will gift her one. My old company tried to do a collab with loaf and they’re soooo fussy. Idk if the collab happened, I left, but I can assure you they are FUSSY. Can’t see Soph fitting their specifics
 
A little bit out of the loop as they are boring me to tears but just seen Sophie's 'before' pics on Instagram. Is it just me, or is she looking for head pats?! She looks great and she knows it. Maybe I'm just reading too much into things but I feel like she's passively aggressively trying to one up Dave by doing better in their weight loss quest.

Tbh she’s likely to have a harder time losing weight than he will. He’s bigger so it’ll drop off him faster if he actually sticks to it. But yeah she’s not exactly plus sized, she’s in it for the “nooo Sophie you’re so perfect already!” comments.
