Hi Carol!
I'm so glad you decided to stop by planDisney with your question! It sounds like you are in the midst of planning a special family vacation. I understand your concern, as I also have a few tall family members (although I'm on the opposite end of that spectrum!).
Height requirements for attractions can be found in the
Frequently Asked Questions on the
Disneyland Resort website. Since this list focuses on minimum height requirements, I suggest asking a Cast Member at the attractions about any height concerns.
My dad's is 6'4" tall, and he hasn't had issues with riding any attractions at Disneyland Resort. For his own peace of mind, he doesn't raise his hands on
Space Mountain or
Goofy's Sky School. On
Matterhorn Bobsleds, he suggests riding in the last row, as it has a little extra legroom. Another tall friend swears by crossing his legs into the opposite slots for a more comfortable ride on Matterhorn Bobsleds. Feel free to ask any of the attraction Cast Members which row or seat they recommend for folks with long legs.
Did you know that this year,
Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort is kicking off on August 23rd? This is just in time for your visit! Be sure to take a ride on
Haunted Mansion Holiday, which should be adorned with decorations inspired by
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. It is my favorite version of this attraction! I also love
Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark in
Disney California Adventure Park!
Carol, thanks again for reaching out to us. I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation!
