Height restrictions?

BuzzLightyear · 04-21-2005

I measured my little guy last night.
He is 41 inches tall !!!!
I think thats good? As far as rides go anyways??

Is there a standard height restriction level? Or does it go ride by ride?

Any info would help with our plans.

Thanks!!!

41" is a GREAT height for your kiddo to be!

I think he should pass for just about everything...I know Splash and Big Thunder are 40", so there shouldn't be much he can't ride!!

Second thought...the only attractions I can think of right off that are higher than 40" are Rock n' Roller Coaster, which is 48" and Mission:Space which is 44".

Thanks Dizzy!!
Those two rides I think he'll be into.
Don't think he could handle R&RC or MS yet.

I am right there with you...my DS is currently at 39" and we are stretching him every night to get him to at least 40" by August. No I am kidding...but we are hoping he gets there and if not, well I guess shoes with insoles or a big hat will have to be tried. I know my son and at just shy of 4 when we go, he will want to try everything!!!

No prob Buzz!

I'm so excited for you...I can just imagine that big Disney grin on your DS's face after that first trip down Splash Mountain! *sigh*

I am currently trying to stretch DD to 40" she is only at 38 1/2 right now, but hey we still have a couple of months. And she goes have a pair of thick soled sandals. *checks to see if any watches while she switches shoes.*

You should be just fine with 40".

my DS was about 39.5" on our October trip and he rode all the 40" rides he wanted with no trouble. He's nearly about 41" now (and with no desire to ride RnR or MS) so we should be great for our trip....in 13 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

inluvwithdisney · 04-21-2005

Last September my DD was barely 44 inches, we took her on MS and she loved it!! They measured her 6 times every time we rode it!! She was 43 inches at her appt. in August and by Mid September she shot up an inch and was able to ride everything but Rnrc.

40 is a good height to ride almost everything!! Have fun!!

I was amazed in January, when 4yo DS seemed tall enough to do Mission Space!

He stood under the bar and cleared it. So I take him by the hand and start for the line, when a nice lady ran up and said, "You're son was on his tip toes." lol!

He got his pic with Space Mickey & Space Goofy while I did MS.
