DISNEY WORLD RIDES RANKED FOR LITTLE AND BIGGER KIDS
This chart ranks all rides at Walt Disney World based on two different points of view:
- Vertically from the eyes of pre-school kids: best loved, to be avoided, or neither;
- Horizontally from the eyes of kids in the third grade or older, and their parents: skippable, favorites, or neither.
[pinit]Groupings are based on ratings by age from a number of sources, on height restrictions, and on “scariness.”
If you have trouble interpreting it, this should help
- The lower right shows rides and attractions everyone likely will love
- The upper left shows ones everyone likely may find skippable
- The upper right shows ones 3rd graders and older guests will likely love, but that pre-schoolers should avoid
- The lower left shows ones pre-schoolers will love, but that every one else likely may find dull
Supplement this with this page for a more nuanced view of who might wish to skip a ride.

Hello! I’m back for more of your great advice! I booked breakfast at chef mickeys for our group and thought it would be perfect to spend the day at MK since its so close. The problem is that it’s on a day that we should avoid MK (5/2). Will it be that big of a deal if we have to leave say HS to go to breakfast at 945? Thanks so much for this site, it’s such a great help!
Hi, I don’t have an itinerary that’s a tight fit to your arrival day or length of trip, but this comes closest: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2011/01/16/seven-night-walt-disney-world-summer-itinerary-v2/
Our family will be going in August 8 – 14th. Yes HOT & busy, but our only time with our schedules. My Husband & I have been before (several times & different parks) but it has been quite awhile. My daughters will be 9 & 13 and their 1st visit, we are staying on property & getting 6 day pass w/ park hopper & water/fun as well. What park itinerary would you suggest. We are a fast paced family on the go, but also want this to be a stress free vacation.
