We'll be there next week with my nephew who's about 39" and our daughter who's about 38.5". We plan on making her wear boots with socks stuffed in the bottom for some

Any advice for sneaking too-short kids onto the 40" rides?

Absolute sticklers. Get tall shoes.

Very strict. Wear large shoes, that's the only way to get through.

They are strict. Double measuring on many rides. Shoe stuffing works the best

If you forget, just grab paper towels from the restroom and stuff their shoes.

We did this. We needed 1/8-1/4 inch on California Screamin'

Not joking, the Target near Dland is often sold out of kid shoes.

Find one of these beforehand. Solves all your problems

Very, 2 weeks ago I saw them not let a kid on a ride because a card could pass

Yes, they're strict. But here is the solution:

Just rent a wheelchair. They won't measure plus you get to cut the line.

Get tall shoes and teach kids to put chin down when measuring

38.5" is a little short to make up the difference with shoes and strategy.

you might be right. With some big soles on we might be able to get her to 39.5"

Make her wear 4" heels.

My daughter was borderline, so we trained her to lift her heals a bit.

DisneyWorld was a bunch of freaking Nazis. They would shove my son's head down
