April11th WDW News Update (WITH LOTS OF M:S INFO!!!)

[toystoryma]

hmmm I thought Splash mountain was only 40" to ride.. not 44" like you said.

My 3yo just went this past November and just reached the 40" mark and he went on Splash with my husband.

Not trying to be picky, just wanted to post that incase others see it and thought their kids would be tall enough to ride Splash!

Thanks for the rest of the update I cant wait to go now!! Only 14 more days!!

hmm... that's interesting. Guess that rules me out (didn't want to be a WDW lifeguard anyway ). Thanks for the update FLcastmember!!! :sohappy: Keep em coming!

You do not have to hold a current lifeguard certification to be hired as a Disney lifeguard. You only need to pass a swim test, then Disney will provide the training for certification.

The whole thing was designed, and meant to be the largest attraction with 30-35 CM's staffing...

I wonder why they're staffing at 25

NeverTheLess...
Keep up the good work....FLcastmember...

2. FP Return
3. Singles Greeter
4. FP Distrubution
5. FP/StandyBy Merge Point
6. Grouper (into groups of 40)
7. Tower
8-11 Load x4
12-15. Unloadx4
15-18. Dispatchx4
19 Exit Greeter
20 Space Race Load
21 Space Race Unload
