Disney Height Requirements
1. This is a key piece of information to begin the FP+ planning stage. Research height requirements before beginning the planning with your family.
This way you don’t get child excited for an attraction that they can’t actually ride. There is nothing sadder than a child that is not prepared for what is ahead.
2. Measure your their height before your vacation.
Measure them with their shoes on that they intend to wear in the parks, Double-check height at the attraction if the child is close to the minimum height for that attraction before spending any time in line. The cast members would double-check them anyway, so better to be sure.
3. You should NEVER try to fool the system and make your child appear taller than they are.
This can put them at risk. And if caught can be a huge disappointment. Take advantage of the rider swap feature so that you can trade off and still ride attractions that younger children aren’t tall enough for. They will get their turn very soon, since we all know that time flies!
4. Height restrictions aren’t the only warnings and restrictions to be concerned with on rides.
These warnings are online, in the park maps and posted outside of the attraction. Read them all carefully.
5. Utilize Rider Swap if necessary.
You can leave party member(s) with the child(ren) who are unable to ride, and the other members wait in line to ride the ride. You will get a Rider Swap pass for the waiting party members to ride the ride via the FP queue, this will mean that they won’t have to wait as long. It is a great feature for those who have small children or children that are afraid and who still want to ride the attractions with limitations.
6. Don’t waste FP+ on attractions that small children can’t ride.
You can split up FP+ selections to meet the needs of your party and get the most use.
7. Never be angry or rude to the cast members.
They are just doing their job and helping enforce rules to keep your family safe. The rules really are for the best interest of your family, so don’t take it out on them.
