Family Blasted Over Dangerous Disney Hack

We love a good hack, especially those related to kids and Disney, but one family is being slammed for sharing a “hack” they used at a Disney theme park. The Kelly Family regularly posts about their family life on TikTok, but a video they recently shared about what they did to trick park workers into thinking their young son was tall enough for the rides isn’t going over well with some viewers.

In the clip, the dad describes his young son, Kannon, as a “thrill-seeking boy who can’t get enough of Disney theme park rides.” The only problem? He’s not quite tall enough “for the big ones.” So the little tyke’s parents took matters into their own hands by DIY-ing a special pair of shoes to make Kannon taller.

The mom and dad are shown customizing a pair of shoes with added height, which they made by cutting up a pair of flip flops and gluing the soles onto Kannon’s sneakers. The dad calls it the “ultimate theme park hack” and the family proudly shows off the “towering heel” they made. While the video doesn’t show if it actually worked to get the toddler on big rides with height requirements, the comments section is full of people calling them out for the potentially dangerous situation they’re putting him in:

  • “And just like a cannon, he will be yeeted out of his seat,” one user writes.
  • “I made my son shoes that help him fly off of roller coasters,” another comments sarcastically.
  • “This is why we’re trained to look at shoes to see if they are tampered with,” writes a user, who claims she worked at one of the Disney theme parks.
  • “I used to work at Disney on Primeval Whirl which had one of the highest height restrictions and yeah there for a reason and for safety,” adds another.
  • In a follow-up video, the dad says he never put his son in danger. “You don’t know what happened,” he says. “In the video, you didn’t see him actually go on any rides.” He also claims his son was tall enough for the rides without the homemade shoes, so naturally, viewers called out his backpedaling. Comments like, “You made platform shoes for a kid that’s already tall enough?” question what the dad’s talking about, but they’re going unanswered.
