Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
Walt Disney World is one of the top family destinations in the country. Part of the reason is because there is so much to do, no matter your age. There are some rides, though, where height does make a difference. That is where height requirements come into play. Most of the rides are good for all ages, so do not let the fact that there are a few that your child might not yet be able to ride keep you from planning your vacation.
Children will be measured at the entrance to each ride that has a height requirement. They might be measured again near the entrance to the ride. Your children will not be required to remove their shoes, and make sure that your kids stand up straight. Standing on tiptoes is not allowed. If your child is not tall enough, ask the Cast Member at the ride’s entrance about Rider Switch. It allows everyone tall enough to ride in separate groups without having to wait in line twice.
It is not a good idea to put lifts in your kid’s shoes in order to gain a little bit of height. Also, if your child is too short, do not blame the Cast Member. He or she could end up out of a job if a child who is too short gets through. Remember that the height requirements are in place to keep children safe. It’s not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with the rides that your child might not be tall enough for before you leave home, and then try to avoid seeing those rides all together. Remember the bigger the thrill, the taller the riders have to be.
Here are the rides with height requirements at Walt Disney World, listed alphabetically in each park. Considering how many rides and attractions there are at Walt Disney World, you’ll notice that the list isn’t really all that long.
