Once your child hits 40 inches, there are a lot of great rides available to them. When we took our son last time he was very close to 40 inches with shoes on. I was really worried about him not getting to ride on things like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. I went to Target and got him sneakers with thick soles.
When we got to the parks we had to get him measured at all of the 40 inch rides and I discovered two things. First, all of the height bars were actually different heights. For example, 40 inches at Test Track was a little taller than 40 inches at Star Tours. The other thing I discovered is that the cast members really want to let your child ride! They would often encourage my son to stand as tall as possible and stretch until his head hit the bar. As a result, he was able to ride on all of the 40 inch rides.
I really wish Disney had one measuring station at the entrance and then give out wristbands (or add the info to their magic bands) so the kids only have to be measured once. My son got tired of being measured so often and ended up having a meltdown (he was 2) during one of these measurements.
