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.

Hey Dave,
Is there a way to get this chart sent to me as a pdf? We are planning our first visit April 2016 and will have a 3rd grader and 4K as well as a 2 year old, so this chart is perfect for us. Thanks!
Thanks Dave. We get about 50-50 answer. We will be there starting on Nov. 8 for a week. Missed the RR 3 years in row because we always went in Oct. We shall see.
Mike, I can’t give you a definitive answer, but the sites I respect more are showing November 20.
Hello Dave, We are looking for the date the MK railroad will open in November this year after rehab. We have seen Nov. 20 and Nov 5. We see both dates posted on all the different sites. Can you help,Thanks
Nicole, Fantasmic is the story of Mickey’s victory over a bunch of villains, including huge dragons and serpents. Some little ones do fine with this, and others are really scared by it.
I don’t have pre-schooler itineraries on this site but you can find them in my book.
Eight or older would be my advice on the return date!
