I’m sure we’ve all been there. You get to a ride and your little one is so excited only to find out they aren’t tall enough to ride. We get it, no one likes disappointing their kids or for them to be sad. But creating elevated shoes for them so they are technically tall enough for a ride is not the answer.
The Kelly Fam on TikTok is sharing how they did just that. They took regular shoes and added layers from other shoes and sandals in order to make the shoes taller. They rationalize that their son loves thrill rides and they didn’t want his height to stop him from “feeling the rush”.
Height requirements are in place at Disney and other theme parks for a reason! Some rides can’t safely hold a guest in place if they aren’t tall enough. Guests can get seriously injured if they don’t meet the height requirement for an attraction. If you don’t want your child to be disappointed, research ahead of time what the height requirements are. For reference, here are the Walt Disney World attractions with height requirements:
