Greetings, Tawnya! Thanks so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel and asking your question. I am so excited that you will be taking your little one to the Happiest Place on Earth!
My daughter is now 4 years old, but I have many wonderful memories of a trip we took when she was about the same age and height as your son. You will be delighted to know that there are over 40
attractions and entertainment options without height requirements, which means that even infants can ride with their parents. These include "it's a small world," Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure, and many, many more.
There are even a few attractions that do have height requirements for which your son will be tall enough to ride. Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters (currently Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween) and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree (currently Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree) are both in Cars Land and have 32 inch height requirements. Your son can even drive a car on
Autopia as long as you are seated next to him. I remember my husband controlling the gas pedal while my daughter steered the car even though she could barely see over the steering wheel. It was a hoot! If you filter the Attractions page by height, you will see the expansive list of attractions available to your son.
You definitely won't be short on fun things to do when you visit the Disneyland Resort! Please stop by again with any other questions you may have!
