Hi Sarah!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for visiting us with your question today about your trip to Walt Disney World! It looks like you'll be heading to
The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a couple of weeks, how exciting! You are going to make so many memories with your family, and
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is going to make your day so much easier. Good news, only Guests aged 3 and over will need to purchase the pass, but the littlest member of your party will be able to join you on the attractions where they meet the height requirement.
Now, there are some attractions where they won't meet the height requirement, but worry not, you can use the
Rider Switch option, which we always make the most of on our visits. Just head to a Cast Member by the entrance of the attraction, and they will work some magic so your 5-year-old will be able to ride with each of their grown-ups one after the other, as long as they meet the height requirement.
My advice when travelling with a little one and an extra little one is to take things a little slower, and don't be afraid to stop for a break and let them get their wiggles out. Recently, a newly refurbished area has opened at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, Animation Courtyard, which is a great place for the whole family to enjoy. I highly recommend Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! The kids will love it, and I absolutely loved watching my kiddos dancing around while watching their favourite characters on stage.
I hope this helps, Sarah! If you have any other vacation planning questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
Matt
