I was just at Disneyland after not going since early June -- I live in So. Cal and have a local annual pass...so I'm usually there fairly often.....but don't go (am "blocked out" for most of the tourist season...)

I had several OMG--NSVs (Non Scale Victory) moments -- here are mine -- what have your's been ?

The Trunstyles got much bigger.  Learned that they are called TURNstyles because of their action, not because I have to "turn" to fit through them !!

The seats in the theater style attractions have gotten MUCH bigger. 

The seat belts on the attractions have gotten much longer...

You CAN order just one chicken thigh from the Plaza Pavillion and it's more than enough for dinner at  $2.45 !!!

Haven't done an amusement park yet...but the things I have noticed:

1.  There is alot of room between me and the steering wheel of my car now
2.  There is extra room in my comfy chair at home
3.  There is extra room in my office chair at work

Sorta freaks me out when I notice these things...in a good way

Towels... they actually wrap all the way around... not the beach sheets either.. normal ol' cheapo towels..

I loose things under my butt when I sit in a folding camp chair... not because it was so so big but because I have room to place things on the chair next to me

The recliner can now comfortable hold myself AND my daughter

The bathtub is actually relaxing... It is somehow now perfectly comfortable to take a bath without feeling like I am going to overflow it..

1) I love that I have room btween me and the steering wheel.
2) I can walk down the stairs like a normal person and not one at a time
3) some people don't recognize me. Lol.
4) people don't get out of my way when I have to squeeze past them.
5) my bike has a lot more room on it.
6) feet don't hurt after a shift at work
I think I could go on and on. This is the best a felt in a decade. :0)

So many things, but here is a couple that mean the most to me:

1. those stupid like plastic lawn chairs (I can fit in them and get back up without them coming along with me)

2. my office chair, and it doesn't sqwuak with disappointment when I sit down in it anymore

3. bus seats, I can actually sit comfortably next to someone!

4. seatbelts, I don't have to try so hard to find the part you buckle into

5. my bike seat, my butt sits on it rather than it disappearing between my cheeks

6. like someone else said...my hubby's ahem (amen!), so much more pleasureable now!!

My skin!  Seriously, I'm kinda happy & sad at the same time to see that I'm shrinking out of my skin again... weird.

 I'm digging out clothes from the back of my closet that I bought but never wore because they never fit quite right

I fit in movie theatre seats a bit better

The best thing is that I fit comfortably into the seats at my main office where we have 3 hour board mtgs. Those used to be HELL.
