Each time we have gone to Disney World we spend the weeks leading up to the trip measuring (and remeasuring!) the kids to figure out which rides we will be able to enjoy together. Below you will find quick reference disney height requirements 2022 for each of the four parks at Walt Disney World.
Disney also offers a Rider Switch option, which many families choose to use if a member of the group isn’t tall enough. Everyone in the group will talk with the Cast Member at the beginning of the line. Your group will be split into two parties; party 1 and party 2. The Cast Member will provide a pass for the members of party 2, while party 1 enters the line for the ride. Once the party 1 group completes the ride they will locate party 2 and switch places. The adult in party 2 is usually able to bring at least one child with them, even if that child rode with the adult in party 1. Our oldest always liked this option because he was able to ride twice! Party 2 will be allowed to bypass the line with the assistance of a Cast Member. Remember to check in with a Cast Member with your whole group to make sure you can use the Rider Switch option.
