I would think it would suck to enter the line by pixie hollow and wait 40 minutes or so and then when the child reaches the chalet they are told they can't ride cause they are not tall enough..
    i know there are signs, and smart parents would figure out to take their kids to the chalet first, but we are talking about Disneyland where people check their brains..
    So do they have cms stationed around the base of the mountain or are the height checkes done as you enter the chalet?

The apps need to be updated so this doesn't happen to others. The disappointment ended as quickly moved on to the Teacups......

    I dont remember the exact height requirements so please check at the chalet......

    Always check with Disney cast members. If your child is measured at home or at the doc's office, it could still be off once you get to Disney.
