Disney Pool Slide Guidelines

Stop pissing and moaning. Your kid doesn't meet the height AND age requirement. Sad Boo Hoo, and all.

I get an image of someone spitting tobacco as they say this. Not a pretty sight.

Of course, your son will be disappointed. It doesn't make much sense to me either that it's age and height. Seems it would be more height, from a safety standpoint. I think all (well, most) parents can relate that it'll be tough to keep a 3 year old off the coolest looking slide, while his sister can go. Especially if he is use to waterslides etc.

You know the other day I made an tongue in cheek reply to a post and was accused of being arrogant and having a victim mentality. It was extremely surprising and hurtful to me as my comment was really taken the wrong way. I apoligized to the poster I was responding to (who was NOT the poster who judged me)- really horrified if I came off offensive. The OP sent me a very nice pm and hadn't been offended at all!

I guess what I'm saying is, I was shocked at the response you got from someone who doesn't know you. You certainly did not come off as "pissy" to me or looking for something to complain about. It's too bad, comments like this have to be made.

Thankfully, most posters on these boards, are upbeat, wonderful people. That's it! I just wanted to say, that I completely understood your feelings and felt offended for you to be responded to in that way.

Have a great, great, trip!

My DD14 really, really wanted to do the slide on our Jan. 4 cruise and I was worried that she wouldn't be able to because she is right at 64", and she had a broken arm at the time, but there was no problem whatsoever. She actually slid down a couple of times and then we went back to the Goofy pool - she just wanted to be able to say she'd done it, because that's all you see on the commercials, so I understand those who have kids that are too tall (my 2 DS's are both over 6 feet) are upset.
