Can they ride any of these with an adult or do they have to be this height with or without?
These are the restrictions for riding at all. There are separate rules about when children can ride alone.
This is really useful especially when the kids start crossing the first heights. You always are wondering ‘are they tall enough for this yet’.
Thanks! I’m hoping some families will find it helpful.
We are still very much in the thick of the “countdown”, so to speak, of when my kids can ride various attractions – so we are always looking this stuff up. Great printable!
My boys are eight and they are now officially tall enough to ride everything except the Tomorrowland Speedway alone. So we don’t need to worry about it much anymore. I hope you find it helpful!
Very helpful to have the height requirements in one place! I didn’t realize that Dinosaur was 40″…my son could have ridden that on our trip.
I’m sorry you missed it. Although Dinosaur is not one of my favorites. 😉
This is great – thanks for sharing this! This will be very helpful when my son gets older!
You will get to watch your little guy grow into all of the rides!
I think my youngest is now tall enough to ride ANYTHING. 🙂 Yay! Great printable.
My tall boys can ride all buy one ride now, so they are pretty excited!
Make sure you little ones meet the height requirements at Disney!. Print this form and put it in your pocket.
Absolutely! Fortunately we can ride just about everything now.
I’m so excited for our next visit. My youngest will be over 44 inches and he’ll be able to ride so many more things than the last time we went! I will totally print this out and take it with us.
That 44″ mark really is a big deal, isn’t it? So many more rides!
