Height Requirements at Walt Disney World

June 23, 2019 by @Modlifeisgood Leave a Comment

Walt Disney World is intended to be a vacation destination the whole family can enjoy. Despite this, for safety reasons, there are several attractions which have height requirements.

Disney does enforce Height Requirements strictly, and you will not be allowed to board if you are under the height requirement. A cast member will measure children all children who appear below the height requirements before you can board an attraction.

Make sure you consider height restrictions when booking Fastpass+ Reservations so children are not left disappointed. You will not be able to persuade a cast member to allow children too small to ride.

However, if the kids are too small to ride, it does not mean adults and older siblings can’t. Rider Switch, also sometimes known as child swap, allows guests with small children to take turns riding while another adult stays with the child. Once the first party has ridden the 2nd Adult and up to 3 more guests, including some who have already ridden, can join the Fastpass line.

  • The Barnstormer 35″
