My daughter measured 44 1/2" at home with her thick, "Payless" shoes. When we got to Space Mountain, she came up about 1/8 of an inch short (gravity must work harder in Florida). The guy measuring was unrelenting and wouldn't let her on (I can't say I blame him.)

My wife happened to be getting her monthly visit, so in MacGyver like fashion, we took an extra "pad", cut it in two, doubled each piece over, and slipped them under the inner soles of her shoes.

The next day, our first stop was Space Mountain. Our "Stayfree Solution" got her the extra height she needed and we couldn't wipe the smile off her face the rest of the day!!!
