It's been a couple of years since we've been to WDW. We went to Kings Island near Cincinnati the other weekend and they had several height check stations throughout the park. You could have your child measured then they could wear a color coded waterproof bracelet. Each color represented an approved height. My son was approved to ride anything for 46 inches or under. It made it easy to know which attractions he could do without having to measure each time.

Does WDW do this yet?
 
no they do not. they have measure things at beginning and usually another check point or 2 later into cue.
 
Two spots for every attraction with a height restriction:
Measurement as guests enter the queue, another at the boarding area.

Disney experimented with the "one-time check, with bracelet" plan.

Some cheating guests would slip the bracelet off of the taller kid and put it on the shorter kid's wrist.
That plan failed.
 
No but they did once test it at Disneyland.

Too many parents were removing the band from their taller kid and putting it on their smaller kid. The parents brought in tools to do the job without anyone noticing.

Now that I think about it, I think the reason they don't is that there are only a handful of height restricted rides throughout all of WDW.
