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.

Dave… thank you so much for your respond. Your are the best! really!
I actually meant Universal’s Islands of Adventure, so we’ll probably go Monday or Saturday the day before our departure. For the water park I am sure both are fantastic…. so we’ll just pick up one and have fun.
Hi Ames, and thanks!
The Star Wars weekends have become a zoo, with massive crowds, so I’d avoid them.
Moreover, MK is likely to be pretty crowded on Memorial Day.
So I’d do AK the 26th, Epcot the 27th, HS the 28th, and MK the 29th and 30th. I’d leave the 31st open for whatever park you wish to return to–given the ages of the kids, unlikely to be Epcot…
