The self-described “Panamanian plus-size model” shared on social media that her recent Disneyland trip was not what she imagined it would be.
On social media, Gracie shared, “Today I came to Disney with my family, ready to have fun, but the second I arrived, the nightmare started.”
Sharing her troubles with her followers, the 27-year-old expressed that she felt like a “zoo animal” after noticing that she was being stared at and recorded by other park-goers.

In her viral Instagram video that has since amassed 5.4 million views, Gracie asks, “Is it just me or are people not used to seeing big girls like me at Disneyland?”
Despite the negativity, Gracie said that she “had so much fun.”
Unable to fit in one seat due to her figure, “I needed two seats on the slinky dog ride, but that just means double the fun!” she exclaimed.

In a bid to enjoy themselves, Gracie and her family visited Disneyland. Walking around the theme park, the plus-sized influencer quickly noticed people staring at and even recording her unique body shape.
Seeing that people were staring at and recording her, Gracie decided to “change the game.” Bringing her camera sunglasses along with her to the theme park, she decided to give them to her brother to capture what was happening.

“If they were going to record me, I was going to record them,” she said, and asked her brother to record other people who were staring at her in a bid to expose them.

Gracie reacted to the video, saying, “I couldn’t believe my eyes. People were shocked to see my body, like hello, this is America, almost 40% of people here are plus size, so why were they acting like I was some rare creature?”
Speaking up on her size, Gracie expressed that “not everybody looks the same”

As a plus-sized model who openly supports body positivity on her social media, Gracie complained about the way she was perceived by others.
After the reactions she received in the theme park, Gracie wondered, “What do people expect me to do? Shrink myself so I can go to an amusement park?”
“I can’t just wake up one day and be skinny, it’s 2025 and people need to realize that not everybody looks the same and that’s okay,” she added.

As an answer to Gracie’s questions, her followers ran to the comments section of her post.
“She’s not serious,” a user said.
“You’re not naturally ‘big,’ that’s the issue,” one user wrote. “No one wants to see that at a theme park with children,” another added.
“Girl, you know why,” another netizen said, while another exclaimed, “You thrive off of the attention.”
“It’s not because you’re plus size. It’s because your body has been modified and looks too ridiculous for most people,” a commenter noted.
“They are looking ’cause it’s not natural,” another user agreed.

But this is not the first time Gracie has spoken up about this topic. Becoming an internet sensation with her unique body shape, the influencer frequently shares how shocked people are due to her large bosom.
In June 2024, the influencer shared a similar incident in Disneyland Paris. Sharing that people were making fun of the size of her body, she said, “They kept taking photos of me, they gave me bad looks all the time or just kept laughing at me.”
Gracie also said her body is “literally what God gave” her and that she has not had any plastic surgery done on her.
“I know you may think that I am exaggerating and that it’s my fault for being a big girl. But this is literally what God gave me. And I have to embrace every single part,” she said.
