In 2021, Jason Vaughn was confronting post-pandemic setbacks, personal fears, and a longstanding hesitation to chase his dreams until he lost weight—a goal that never seemed within reach. Inspired by the encouraging and insightful YouTube channel, Pammie Plus Parks, Jason finally took a bold step forward and visited Disney World. That transformative experience opened his eyes to the possibilities of plus-size travel and changed his life forever.

Eight months later, Jason created a playful video about "fat testing" rides at Disney, which unexpectedly went viral, gaining him over 10,000 followers within a single week. Since that pivotal moment, Jason has expanded his adventures to more than a dozen theme parks, passionately creating guides, resources, and engaging content tailored specifically for plus-size travelers. Relocating to Orlando allowed him to fully embrace this mission.

Jason’s greatest satisfaction comes from the countless heartfelt messages from followers who credit his work with giving them the courage and confidence to travel without fear—just as he himself once needed. Today, through Fat Tested Travel, Jason continues to inspire thousands, turning personal vulnerability into a powerful, joyful community.
