My son is 40 1/2" with his shoes on. We are oping he is able to get on RSR. If not we know that is only for his safety. Any parents ever been forced to take their children's shoes off for a ride?
No. But some of the measuring sticks are slightly different than others - Mouse4life1075.6 #79 1-9-13 8:14PMLike Reply
They won't make him take his shows off but I've heard real height and Disney height aren't always exactly the same lol - lostgirl7988541.5 #208 1-9-13 8:16PMLike Reply
I've never been asked to take my 4 year old cousins shoes off when we take her.we rarely have to measure her anymore, but, when we did, her shoes always stayed on. - MrsDisneyMommy29265.6 #867 1-9-13 8:16PMLike Reply
Ya. No worries. They won't make him remove his shoes. - ZERO302.6 #597 1-9-13 8:52PMLike Reply
Lucky! My 3year old is 39in!! (I'm a short guy myself...) so we can't get on the big kid rides just yet...I just tell him soon enough :) - Jfigg23254.7 #966 1-9-13 10:20PMLike Reply
Not all CMs are created equally. We verified that Cannon could ride RSR with the CM at the stick, went back to leave the baby with family and got him all hyped up to go and they shift changed and the new CM was pushing his head down with her fingers. I was livid. He would stand there, hit the bar and she would slide her fingers back and say he was a half inch short. At 40 and a half, he should be just as tall as to top end of the measure sticks, you won't have a problem. - cynDOLEwhip744.1 #137 1-9-13 10:32PMLike Reply
That sucks! Similar thing happened with my 4 y/o a yr ago for TOT my husband was taking him measure at the gate and was fine but when they are literally about to board the elevator the CM was kinda rude (from what i gathered) measured and didnt let him on, after he had been on almost all other big rides :/ oh well. I was nervous for him at that time anyways 😏 - qbnmama 111.8 #2881 1-9-13 10:43PM
It's safety which I totally understand but it was a very awkward and frustrating experience. Even the other CM at the front saw that he was good to go but I think she was training him and used us as a (bad) example of how important it is. He just stood there and gave us sympathetic eyes. - cynDOLEwhip 744.1 #137 1-9-13 10:47PM
