How Long Before Disney Starts Charging Infants?

I live half way between the Browns and Bengals, maybe I finally win one.

Nope. I also live between, closer to the Browns, and just no. 0-16 forever. Put your hopes elsewhere.

My daughter just turned 3 a month ago and the only five rides she cannot go on in all four parks are Space Mountain, Mission: Space, RocknRoller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and Primeval Whirl.

We will still be doing almost nothing but meeting princesses, LOL, but if she wanted to, she could go on almost all the rides.

Then she must be tall enough or heavy enough, to meet the requirements. Our DD will miss them by a little, given our trip is in three weeks. Obviously, there's a different too between "just turned three" and "almost four."

Our first family trip was a Make A Wish trip when my twins were 4.75 years old (one of them is a cancer survivor). They barely cleared the 40" stick to ride BTMRR, by less than half an inch. It also helps not to live in Munchkinland. Their 3.5 year old sister wasn't even close.

Amazing that a hypothetical question has actually ed some people off as if they announced it this morning.

Yeah, she's tall. She hit 40" with no shoes at her 3 year checkup. She doesn't like rides though

It wouldn’t surprise me if they started requiring pregnant women to buy two tickets!

You're overstating. They have some roaming characters now, but times have changed overall. Safety is a bigger priority and employees getting mobbed in random areas isn't a risk Disney wants. It's understandable why it's not as prevalent now. Harder to manage and more risk.

Hotels have a lot of activities.

I just love how people read something posted on this forum, make their own argument about something that wasn't argued to begin with, and then miss the point entirely.

In the 1980's, there were *only* roaming characters, it was just a reference point for a time period. A time period where the hotels did have all kinds of activities, where Disney wanted you to spend time at the resorts, as opposed to now, where it's just getting you out the door into the parks (and spending money). There are far, far less activities at the resorts than their used to be for that very reason.

Roaming characters were stopped because of lawsuits. People did ridiculous things to characters with no repercussions. Check out some of the books about behind the mouse ears and you’ll see some of the stuff that was done. Yet if a character ever touched a person incorrectly Disney got sued. If a kid tripped and it was next to a character Disney got sued. Yet parents would laugh when Pluto got his tail yanked by some 10 year old.
It was lawsuits not safety.
