Welcome to planDisney David!
I am so excited to hear you will be traveling to Walt Disney World with your grandson. Multi-generational vacations are so special. So many magical moments await!
Most rides and attractions will accommodate guests of all sizes. To be more comfortable, a guest can request a personal ride vehicle. Good examples of this include the Haunted Mansion,
Peter Pan's Flight, or the Seas with Nemo and Friends. Even rides such as it's a small world or Pirates of the Caribbean might be more comfortable if a personal row is requested.
Some attractions are viewed sitting in a theatre like setting and offer bench seating.
The Enchanted Tiki Room and Country Bear Jamboree are a few with this set-up.
A few attractions may offer some challenges, such as Space Mountain and
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. These coasters have very narrow seats and you have to really step down into the vehicle.
A friendly Cast Member is at the entrance of every attraction. Do not hesitate to inquire about seating, or any other questions such as height, speed, or if family friendly. They will be happy to share information to make sure each guest is comfortable with experiencing the attraction.
I hope your family has a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. This is a great time to visit during the
50th Anniversary Celebration. Plan to enjoy some nighttime fun, especially
Disney Enchantment at the Magic Kingdom. It is the perfect way to top off your Mickey-magical day!
