Height Requirements at Walt Disney World

April 16, 2023 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 that have height requirements.

Walt Disney World strictly enforces Height Requirements, 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 required height before you can board an attraction.

Make sure you consider height restrictions when booking Lightning Lane Reservations so small children are not left disappointed. No matter how hard you try, 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, sometimes called child swap, allows guests with small children to take turns riding while another adult stays with the child.
