Avoiding Height Restrictions: Disney World Rides for Young Ones

When you’re planning your trip to Disney World you need to take your child’s needs into consideration first and foremost. Here’s a list of all the rides in all 4 parks that don’t have height restrictions. Keep in mind that just because your infant or toddler is able to ride it, that doesn’t mean they’ll be ready for it. Some of these rides involve dark spaces and loud noises. Take a look at YouTube videos of each ride before you visit to decide if they’re right for your little ones.

You may be surprised to see just how many rides there are that perfect for little ones. Don’t forget that adults can always take advantage of child rider swap that allows one parent to wait with the little one while another rides an attraction, and to then swap the child so the second child can ride – without waiting in line!
