Our first day in MK, our first "big" ride was Splash Mountain. Our petite 4 year old daughter was about 39.5 inches when we measured her at home, so we were really crossing our fingers as we tried to just saunter into the Fastpass return entrance. The shrewd CM stopped us, measured her, and she came up short. Well, she cried and cried, and we decided that my wife would stay with her while I rode with our 6 year old son.
When my son and I rejoined them, my wife whispered to me that she told our daughter that it wasn't that she was too short, but that the real reason they weren't allowed on Splash was because Mommy is too fat, and our daughter had to keep her company. Our daughter bought it.
About a week later, on the first morning we woke up at home after our vacation, our daughter bounds into our bed incredibly happy. We asked why, and she said she had a good dream, that she was now tall enough to ride Splash Mountain. My wife celebrates with her and says, "Yay! Now all 4 of us can go on together!"
To which our 4 year old daughter replied, gravely seriously, "No, Mommy, you still can't go on. You're still too fat."

Your poor daughter... it's so hard for them when they're just shy of the hight restriction. It was good of you to sacrifice yourself for your daughter's feelings, although I wouldn't be surprised if that one comes back to bite you in the future!
