Hi, Kellie!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! You’re going to have a wonderful trip to “The Happiest Place on Earth” with your son. With so many new and exciting additions, including
Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park, you’re sure to find plenty of attractions and entertainment he will enjoy!
There are lots of attractions your son will be able to ride, from Dumbo the Flying Elephant and ”it’s a small world” in Fantasyland, to Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise in Adventureland, to Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage in Tomorrowland. If there’s no minimum height requirement posted at an attraction or it is labeled as being for "any height," he can definitely ride it, along with any younger siblings.
When we visited Cars Land for the first time last summer, my son (who was 2 years old at the time) met the minimum height requirement of 32 inches for
Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree, and he was so excited to go on his first “big boy ride!” The whole family can also ride Mickey’s Fun Wheel, Monsters Inc. Mike & Sully to the Rescue! and The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure Park, just to name a few. Check out the
interactive attractions list online to see exactly what your son may ride. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by just how much he will be able to experience!
I hope this helps, Kellie, and that you have a wonderfully pixie-dusted vacation to the Disneyland Resort! Please write back with any other questions you may have as you continue to plan.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
