Can my kid ride it?
Enter your kids' heights and instantly see every Walt Disney World ride they can go on, and which ones they're this close to unlocking.
Quick answers for parents
Are kids measured with shoes on?
Yes. Cast members measure at the ride entrance with shoes on, but hats off. If your child is borderline, normal sneakers are fine; don't count on thick soles, since cast members can ask kids to step out of oversized footwear.
What if my child clears it at one ride but not another?
If a child is measured and passes, cast members often give a colored wristband valid all day for rides with the same or lower requirement. Get measured at your first height-restricted ride to skip repeat checks.
What's Rider Switch?
If one child can't ride, Disney's free Rider Switch lets adults take turns: one waits with the little one while the other rides, then they swap without re-queuing. Ask the cast member at the ride entrance.
Which park is best for little ones?
Magic Kingdom. It has the most rides with no height requirement at all (Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, "it's a small world," Peter Pan's Flight, Dumbo and more). Animal Kingdom is also very toddler-friendly if you skip its three thrill rides.
How accurate is this list?
Requirements are current as of mid-2026, including Big Thunder Mountain's new lower 38″ requirement after its 2026 reopening. Disney occasionally adjusts requirements, so always confirm in the My Disney Experience app before promising a ride.
