We had a fantastic time this week...weather was good other than the stray rainstorm and the afternoon of rain due to Ernesto. Lines were short and we had a very relaxing vacation. The kids had a blast, and my 3 year old thinks she wants to live there. 
The only time we had an "incident" was at Splash Mountain. My DD3 is exactly 40". She had measured up to ride Soarin', Test Track, Dinosaur, and BTMRR. I had her step up to be measured at SM so the CM could ok her since we knew based on her being tall enough to ride the other 40" rides she would be fine. (And yes, she was wearing flat sandals
) The CM was standing about 4 feet away and wouldn't step over to check. So I thought all was well. As I walked past him, he said "She won't be able to ride - she's not tall enough." I asked him, "Did you look? She reached the bar fine and has ridden the 40" rides all week." He said, "Yes I looked. They will measure her and send her away further up the line. Apparently you don't care about her safety." At that point, I was angry. We went ahead in line, another CM pulled her out of line, checked her and said, "Huh...she's tall enough to ride." From the look on his face, the other CM had radioed ahead to warn him.
If the first CM had taken 3 steps over to look for himself, the other guys wouldn't have had to chase us down in the line. And, no...there were no other guests occupying the original CM.
Other than that, the entire week was just GREAT!
