Welcome to planDisney, David. I'm so excited that you're visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth tomorrow! That's just one more wake-up! Woohoo!
The
Rider Switch Service allows a Guest who is not tall enough to ride an attraction to wait with a non-rider who is 14 years of age or older outside of the attraction while the rest of the party rides. Then, the Guest who waited with the child can switch and ride the attraction while a Guest who is 14 years of age or older who just rode waits with that child. At this time, Cast Members are unable to wait with the Guest who will not be riding. According to the
Property Rules, Guests under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a Guest who is 14 years old or older. Furthermore, to board an attraction, Guests under the age of 7 must be accompanied by a person aged 14 years or older. But if you do not have any other members of your travel party who can wait with that child, don't worry because there are plenty of rides at the resort that do not have a height requirement, meaning virtually everyone can ride!
When looking for attractions that your whole travel party can enjoy together, you can use the "Height" filter on the
Attractions and Entertainment page and adjust the height. You can use the
My Disney Experience mobile app to help with this as well. Once you open the app, click on the 3 horizontal lines (≡) in the bottom right-hand corner, select "Rides, Shows & Lightning Lane Entry," select your park, and then select the attraction to see the height requirement. Some of my favorites in Magic Kingdom Park that
all heights can enjoy are
Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid and
Pirates of the Caribbean. In EPCOT, I love
Frozen Ever After and
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. In Disney's Hollywood Studios, there's
Mickey's & Minnie's Runaway Railway and everyone's favorite,
Toy Story Mania! And in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, I can't get enough of
Na'vi River Journey and
Kilimanjaro Safaris. But these attractions are just the tip of the iceberg. This is the
Walt Disney World Resort after all, which was inspired by
Walt Disney's vision of a place where families can enjoy experiences together. It's safe to say you'll have plenty of choices!
David, enjoy your time at the resort, and
be sure to reach out with any other questions.
Somehow I can't believe there are many heights that can't be scaled by someone who knows the secret of making dreams come true,
