Walt Disney World · parks and water parks

What can my child ride at Disney World?

Set your child’s height and Trixie shows every ride they can ride today, at Walt Disney World’s four parks, its two water parks and Disney Springs, park by park. 28 rides list a minimum height, from 32 to 48 inches; a few slides and play areas are for smaller children only; everything else is for any height. Every height here is the one Disney lists for the ride.

My child is 40 inches tall

Trixie’s tip: measure at home before the trip, standing straight in the shoes they will wear in the park, and set the ruler to that. Every ride left on the list below is one they can ride today.

Heights as Disney lists them for each ride, read 25 October 2026. A ride Disney gives no height for is not listed. Every ride’s own page says more: who it suits, how it moves, and how to board it.
