  1. The Kelly Fam should not get their kid back. They need serious psychiatric evaluation as to why they don't like their son. They need to watch hours and hours of videos of kids snuck onto rides and injured or worse and see if it's worth waiting an extra year or two. This is not 'poor judgement'. He'd be safer if they left him locked in the house with a bottle of tequila and box of Oreos for meals while they took their holiday. I also think, though that theme parks should measure someone from a seated position (or, however you ride it, I don't think there are standing rides in Disney parks.) rather than standing. Stacked shoes = instant escort out of the park and a lifetime ban if I had it my way. Horrible parenting.

  2. I used to think that putting platforms so my child could pass the height requirement was a good idea, but…….seeing how complicated the rides are I would not mess with that kind of technology!!!!

  3. My younger brother, who is now a grown man, was a small five-year-old and wanted to go on a ride at a carnival. It was one where you sit in an open seat and it whips everyone back and forth. A teenager heard my brother and offered to sit with my brother during this ride. My Father let my little brother on the ride and wouldn't you know, the kid couldn't hold onto him and my brother flew out of the car and through the fencing around the ride. It's amazing he wasn't killed or very seriously injured, however, this did result in stitches on his arm, his arm in a sling because he pulled muscles in his shoulder, and an irate Mother that wanted to absolutely kill my Dad!!! She didn't talk to him for weeks. These parents are as irresponsible as my father was and obviously care more that they are not hassled during their Disney visit rather than being adult, responsible parents that care for their child. And to literally advertise their abject stupidity on TikTok is equally disgusting. Shame…

  4. The boy who died on the drop tower last year off I-Drive died because the ride operator adjusted the seat to accommodate for his size. When he did that, the boy slipped out of the harness and fell from the drop tower and died. These safety precautions are in place for a reason. If they do not meet the requirements put in place for the safety of the guest in order to ride, then they cannot ride.

  5. First off what kind of lesson is this teaching their kids? That you can get whatever you want, when you want it, as long as you cheat?
    Also; I’ve got four kids. There have been plenty of times that they’ve been barely tall enough to ride that I’ve made the executive decision and said “No”. Either I felt that they were not ready maturity wise and would freak out, or that I KNEW they would be sliding around in the seat. Further, I’ve also had to have my arm around/ hold down a couple of my kids b/c they WERE to small for the seat or the ride restraint system, and it made me nervous even when they MET the height requirement. Shame on these parents. This could be categorized at child endangerment. And they’re bragging about it. The level of audacity is just beyond my comprehension.

  6. Tom create a running “Wall’-O’-Idiots” spot on the show and spotlight the hilarious buffoonery!! If they want attention, well why not give it to them..🎉
    Then maybe at the end of December your audience can vote on the biggest moron of the year!

  7. I was also a child of an extra pair of socks for splash mountain! But I’m also pretty sure they decreased the height requirement since then! I was tall for my age, and barely made it at 4.
    My daughter who is average height had no problem going on at three! But yes, it was a different time. We tried to make sure we had the highest shoes we could to make roving roller coaster, (sneakers vs sandals) and that was enough to make a difference for her during this past trip. But the platform shoes are too much!

  8. Gee Tom, really enjoy the show, but you should have stopped before your comment about your dad and the tissue paper…. I'm sure certain folks will say…. "but….see, Tom did it.. has to be ok."
