When to Go Itineraries for the Rest of the Year Basic Itinerary
This chart (click thumbnail to open; when open, click one or two times again to enlarge) groups all rides at Walt Disney World based on two 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.
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 will 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 will find dull
Supplement this with this page for a more nuanced view of who might wish to skip a ride.

I’ve found you site absolutely fascinating! Great job! My question is that I can’t seem to find any reference to size limitations for adult rides on the “larger” side. Perhaps molded seats or other safety features that a larger adult person couldn’t squeeze into??? If you’ve noticed any limitations…thanks for sharing! Skinny peoples don’t usually notice the dread that larger people have of getting on a ride:) Will they fit???
Thanks Ginny!
You are right–I don’t (yet!) have detailed info on rides at Walt Disney World–for your question, for people subject to motion sickness, or other useful stuff like that. I’ll get to it someday I promise!
Unitl then, take a look at the material on “WDW at Large” that begins here at AllEars.net: http://allears.net/tp/ridsiz.htm
Hope this helps! Dave
