    Does Disney still issue Future Rider Cards for kids that are below height to get a Lighting Lane when the come back and are over the height requirement?

    Hi Anthony!

    Welcome back to planDisney!

    Those special Lightning Lanes make for such fun pixie dust! My son recently used his to ride Test Track after not being tall enough on a previous trip. So, from experience, I can say that they’re still around! 

    But they aren’t guaranteed and may not be available at all attractions. They truly are just pixie dust. I wouldn’t expect it just because a kiddo didn’t meet the height requirement. We were so grateful that the Cast Member gave one to our littlest guy when his brothers raced off to ride with Dad while he stayed back with me! And now, Test Track has become one of his favorite rides at Disney World. 

    I highly recommend measuring your little one and taking a look at the list of attractions offered at the parks leading up to your trip. You can filter by park and height requirement. That way, you’ll know exactly which attractions you can add to your list. 

    I hope that helps! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your trip, feel free to come back and visit us!
