Hi, Lori!
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question about exploring the
Disneyland Resort with little ones! I know you’re going to have a magical time with your grandson.
Check out the complete theme park
attractions list online. It can be sorted by age interest, height requirement and thrill level so you can see which ones will be appropriate for him. However, at 38 inches tall, there are dozens of attractions he should be able to experience, like
Autopia and Gadget’s Go Coaster in Disneyland Park and
Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters and Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree in Disney California Adventure Park. Plus, he is able to ride anything listed as suitable for “any height,” like Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan’s Flight,
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!
If it’s your little guy’s first time at the Happiest Place on Earth, be sure that one of your first stops once you arrive in the theme parks is City Hall at Disneyland Park or the Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park to pick up a complimentary “1st Visit” celebration button. It will add a little extra magic to his vacation!
I hope this helps you plan, Lori. Please stop by again with any other pixie-dusted questions you may have!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
