Okay, I guess the alternative is the padded/cushioned underwear then... :wink: :lol:
Or...eat more donuts and have built-in padding ;) :lol:

Well, that's an alternative, yes, but then would he be able to fit into that slim gangster suit? Nice idea, but... :roll: :wink:

Then the CM playing a Gangster would just have to go to Costuming and get a larger size Gangster outfit :wink: (seriously, they have from xxsmall to xxxlarge for every costume Disney has). Guy Gangsters can just adjust the gun holster and lady Gangsters don't have to switch their purses.

Can I ask what you mean by lady Gangsters don't have to "switch their purses"? Does that mean everyone shares a few purses, or do they have their own purse on stage?

The Lady Gangster costume has a purse (one size fits all) instead of the gun holster to hold their guns. No they are not personal purses as the guns are real but modified to shoot only blanks but that is real gun powder being shot out of the gun. If you were to have gun powder residue in your purse, that wouldn't look good to any cop who has "probable cause" to search any property of yours... :shock: :lol:

But you're firing the gun with your hand, right? It would make you nervous about taking a gunshot residue test LOL!

Oh! Cool :cool: Guess I never really noticed too closely what they used to hold their firearm :lol:

hmmm, that might be fun explaining that I suppose. One call to verify your employment should be enough though...

Getting back on topic...

I find Mission: Space uncomfortable and cramped. Not one of my fav.s for seating.

Not the seat but the in and out of Spaceship Earth is awkward. Those doorways into the ride vehicles are very narrow.

The first thing that came to mind, even if it's not an attraction, are the seats at the America Gardens theatre at Epcot. If you're sitting there, chances are it's going to be for at least 20 minutes or more. For me, it gets really uncomfortable and then I can't sit still.

Other than that, probably Astro Orbitor. Small, cramped and a little awkward.

Oh, and "Welcome Home."

Beauty and The Beast show. It's an almost 30 minute show and if you want a good seat you are sitting there at least 30 more minutes before it even starts (unless you are a VIP and show up 5 minutes before it starts).

Pirates/Small World. The backs are at too sharp an angle, and they're completely hard. I'm only 5'7" and the floor is too close to the bench for my comfort, and there's the rough surface of the seats. Not to mention often having too many people to a row.

Nothing wrong with the rides other than the seating, of course, but those are the only attractions I dread sitting down on.

Oh, not to mention how close the next row is to your knees. Again, I'm short. I can't imagine what anyone of above average height goes through on boat rides.

Agreed.

And a little off topic but what do you consider above average height?
