Hi Stacy,
One of my very favorite things about a vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort is that Mouseketeers of ALL ages can enjoy
so many things together! As a mama of five with eight years between my oldest and youngest just like you, I can tell you that yes, there are definitely attractions that both of your kiddos will be able to enjoy!
Not only will you find that there are many
attractions without height restrictions that you'll all be able to enjoy, but those attractions offer bench seating styles to fit families of all sizes. Even with my family of seven, there are many attractions where we can all sit together in just two rows. Beyond the attractions, though, you'll find lots of
character greeting opportunities,
parades, shows, and fireworks that your entire family is sure to love!
The
Rider Switch service is wonderful if you have at least two adults in your party and some of you want to experience an attraction that your littlest Mouseketeer isn't quite big enough for yet. You may simply ask a Cast Member at an attraction entrance to use the service, and you'll be able to take turns experiencing the attraction without needing to wait in the standby line twice. It's a wonderful time saver!
Thanks so much for visiting us a the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Stacy, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're planning your visit. I hope that you and your family have a truly magical vacation!
Missy
