After this Disney fan posted this question on Reddit, the responses poured in.
One Reddit user hits the nail on the head on why Disney Parks are the best family-friendly experience around:
I genuinely enjoy all off the rides at Disney including the slow/dark rides with no height requirement that would maybe qualify as kiddie rides. Nemo is great, Little Mermaid comes to mind, Three Caballeros, even Dumbo occasionally. That’s what sets Disney apart. At the state fair I buy ride tickets for my kids and watch while they go around in circles on some little contraption. At Disney we all ride together and everyone enjoys it.
