As a kid visiting theme parks I can distinctly remember that trip when I was finally tall enough to ride that awesome roller coaster! Millions of kids visit the Walt Disney World Parks each year, and some of them probably have similar memories.
Many attractions across the parks have requirements for the heights of guests for the safety of the riders. I have compiled all of this information in one easy-to-use guide that you can refer to when planning out your vacation in hopes to make it smooth sailing for you and your family!
Keep in mind that some of these attractions can also have a spooky factor to them that may keep littles from wanting to ride. The Cast Members at each of these rides have experience in all types of these situations. Never hesitate to ask them for advice!
See below for a guide to each park that details which rides have requirements. At the bottom, you will also find information regarding the water park requirements as well.
Magic Kingdom has so much to offer for fans and guests of every height. There are countless attractions that have no height requirements that can be fun for the whole family. However, some of the larger and faster attractions are the ones that you will find have these restrictions to keep the riders safe.
