Walt Disney World can be great for the whole family, but some attractions require a certain height to keep little ones safe. Many attractions have no height requirements, but we share a list of the current attractions with height requirements at Walt Disney World. You can even download our free Disney Height Requirements chart to help with your planning.
How Do The Height Requirements Work?
When you have a child in your party that looks close to the height requirement, a cast member will measure your child to see if the child meets the height requirement. This will happen at any ride you go to that has a height requirement. If they are tall enough, your whole party will be able to ride. If they fall short of the requirement then you will be given a Rider Switch pass. This lets your party split as one part rides then the other part is allowed to ride. The Rider Switch Pass ensures that an adult is with the smaller child at all times.
