Thank you!!! I'm not going for FoP i don't think. I'll measure my little one tonight but I'm pretty sure she's only around 43". So this is all good news for me!!

She's only 43" with shoes. Which is still pretty tall for a 4 year old, but not real enough this year for FoP

What's the height limit? You have a whole month and a half yet!

No I'm a firm believer in height limits being there for our safety. She could probably make it on the ride with tall enough shoes, and the height limit is probably higher than it needs to be for an added cushion of safety. But she can wait a year so she fits the ride on her own. Especially with the harness system in FoP I don't want to risk it. We'll catch it on our next trip.

No I wasn't saying fudge it... I was asking what the requirements were, and if she might have a growth spurt between now and then. I agree I don't believe in doing lift shoes and things like that for kids!

 

[DryerLintFan]

Kid growth spurts are wildly unpredictable. She grows quickly though. The height limit is 44". We've found with Disney you want them to be at least 1/4 inch over that so you know they're going to pass the sight test.

So to answer the question, I don't know. But I don't want to waste FP, especially the only tier one we could book at HS. For that reason, if she doesn't make height by FP day, I tell her we aren't going on it this trip.

ok... so here's the deal... I originally thought my Fast pass day might be today... because I have a room only reservation for Sept 14th, 15, and 16th, then my package starts the 17th, but Travel agent said no my fastpass day is Friday this week... well I wish I would have looked earlier this morning, but I just looked this afternoon and guess who could book fast passes? ARGH... got everything I wanted though, and I'll probably tweak these some.. but this is what is booked so far.

Wow you booked that late in the day and still got everything including FoP and 7DMT!!

You made me wonder, so I went to the website to check and I'm still blocked until tomorrow, LOL.

Did you grab them through the computer or the app?

I did a little of both actually....

SDD too!

Just fixed it so it's more readable now.

I'm thinking it's not really a glich. Just a little known fact.. if you have room only and package on the same res, and the room only is first, you can use your Room only day as your Fast Pass day.

 

[Rista1313]

Already having to fix one that collided with an ADR!

Hate when that happens.

Hate when that happens.

It was only 1, not too bad for doing it on the fly!

 

[Rista1313]

And I got an email at 230p that it was my FastPass day... so legit!

 

[DisneyGigi]

Glad you got everything you wanted. There was a glitch a few months back. I booked fastpasses at 64 or 65 days for May. I always check every day now just to make sure.

Me too even though I was not granted the glitch. No Venelope for me

Mama Melrose 9/19 1235p w/ Fantasmic
Morimoto Asia 9/20 (super tentative)

LoL - I was trying to be inspired by you for our trip at the end of the year, and although there are days we don’t have any, I still have ended up with 7 plus two dessert parties (for a 7 night trip over New Years). Three of them are on NYE - we’ve decided not to do any parks that day and will focus on dining expériences instead.

Well we are there 11 days... so there are 6 days I don't have an ADR for.... so not bad I don't think! I was looking at the dessert party during the halloween party.... and was sorta tempted, and then thought better of it... I thought it would get me priority seating like the HEA dessert party, but it doesn't say anything about that, and why would I pay for a party within a party??

The reviews are so sketchy about morimoto but i still wanted to go. If you guys go I'm definitely looking forward to your reviews.

The ribs are fantastic at Morimoto! They aren't like any other ribs I've ever had. I also enjoyed the wings and the duck ramen. My husband likes sushi so he liked the sushi he got.

Right? My SIL went and was disappointed... and the reviews seem 50/50. Like I said that reservation is super tentative... as I'm suppose to not have this many ADRs! LOL
