Just got back. My observations.

[GoochiGirl]

Things I noticed:
My DD just truned 3 so I got her a ticket. Nobody asked for her ticket when I entered the parks. I pushed her throught the stroller entrence and they told me to put myticket through the machine. At the first park I aksed what about Dd and they said no just push her through. Asfter that each park they told me the same thing. They never asked her age except at MK where the asked and I said 3 and they told me to slide her ticket through.

They never charged for her meals at the sit down resteraunts. She even ordered from the menu at the Princess Storybook and they still didn't charge.. I think because she sat in a highchair they assumed she was a baby.. I did pay for her kids meals at the CS.

They never did a height check at big thunder mountain railroad, splash mountain, and TOT. She rode them and loved those rides. After TOT she said that wasn't scary. I thought that those rides had a hieght requirement. She was checked at Soarin, Test Track, and Kali and she just made it. She was also checked at EE and didn't make it. She was pretty upset about that.

Wow I can't believe they did not do a height check. My DS once was touching the limit with his hair, & they said no. It is amazing that she was not scared on TOT, what a brave girl it scares the heck out of me

I don't think TOT has a height reqirement anymore. They did not check her height inside either.

 

[bcsmom]

My DS is 9, & he has been riding TOT since he was 6. He loves that ride, but I never noticed if there was a height requirement. The one that he could not get on, was rock n roll a coaster.

Welcome back! Glad you had a wonderful time.

The P &PP on the 18th was awsome!!!

 

[Tink3Belle]

Wow I was worried about bringing my six year old on a few of those rides letalone my 3 year old.

These rides were very mild and kiddie:
Big Thunder Mountain
Splash Mountain
TOT
Test Track
EE

These rides were more intense and gave me a headache:
Rock and Roller Coaster
Mission Space
Spae Mountain

EE is mild and kiddie? I haven't ridden it, but my impression was not that at all.

I can't believe they didn't do a height check!! They checked my DS for Goofy's Barnstormer, and he was just a hair below the line and wouldn't let him ride!!!

I think all of the rides you mentioned the height requirement is 40 inches (except EE). If she was measured for any if them then she would have met the requirements for all the 40" rides. My DS was about a 1/2 inch too short for these last year and just didn't take him on them. This year I can't wait to take him on them
Glad you had a good time!

My DD just turned 3 and is 38 inches tall. We wanted to let her ride Splash Mountain with us but know she would not like BTMR. Do you really think they would let her ride that? I thought you had to be 40 inches tall to ride? Last year when she had just turned 2 and was just barely tall enough for Goofy Barnstormer they measured her every time. Don't want to break a rule but curious if it is now ok to ride Splash Mtn. at 38 inches?

EE is mild and kiddie? I haven't ridden it, but my impression was not that at all.

EE is very mild for a coaster. It isn't kiddie like IASW, but it isn't in the same category as the Hulk or Dueling Dragons at Uni or most any other thrill-ride type coaster. It's thrill ride lite.

OP, I'm surprised you didn't get more height checks. Most of those people are insane about it.

Glad you had a nice trip!!

 

[LoriZH]

Wow what a brave girl! I have twin boys who are now 10, the last time they were there they were 8 and would NOT ride TOT!! I told them this time, they're going on or I'm telling their girl crushes at school ;-)

PS, glad you had a great time!

EE is very mild for a coaster.

Okay then, I'll put it on my list to ride. I was chicken before reading this.

 

[GoochiGirl]

They did measure her for EE and she did not make it. My 4 year old son was even measured and put a stamp on his hand that said Yeti. It seemed just like BTMR except fo one part that went backwards.

I think they will let her ride with you. We rode it several times on our trip and I did not see where it had a height requirement and neither of our two days we were in Magic Kingdom did someone stop to check my kids heights on that ride.

 

[srgibbs]

Thanks Goochgirl! We will try it and see what happens. I don't know if she would like the drop but know she would love everything else plus it would be fun to ride it as a family instead of having to do the babyswap thing.

Splash Mountain does have a height requirement. It is 40".

I read that on the board to before I left but on the ride itself I did not see any sign that said that not does BTMR. I think they use to.. I do know for a fact that TT, and Soarin, and Space Mountain, Mission Space, Rock and Roller Coaster, EE and Kali do because they measuured my kdis on those rides.
