What can they ride?
Put in a child’s height and see every ride they can and cannot go on, by park — and how many more open up at the next inch.
12 of 14 rides
A child of 40 inches (102 cm) can ride 12 of the 14 we track at Animal Kingdom. 2 are still out of reach.
What opens up as they grow
The question behind the question: go now, or wait. Here is what each extra inch buys.

Most of these run rider swap: one adult waits with the child while the other rides, then they change places without queueing twice. Ask at the entrance.

Where these come from
Height requirements are Disney’s own published figures, checked against the ride listings in September 2026, and each one is on that ride’s page with its source. We track 3 rides with a minimum and 11 with none — a ride with no minimum is open to everybody, which is the answer rather than a gap.
Measure at home in shoes, and expect to be measured again at the ride. Cast members measure to the requirement, not to your estimate, and a child right on the line is sometimes turned away — which is worth knowing before you queue.
By height
The answer only changes at these heights, so each one has its own page.
