What is the minimum age for rides at Disneyland?

While people of any height may enjoy many of the rides at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, the rides require children under 7 to ride seated next to someone who meets a certain height requirement (see Autopia) or is at least 14 years old.

The answer is YES you can totally bring a baby to the parks. There is so much Disneyland has to offer and so many rides you CAN take your baby or toddler (under 32”) on in each park.

Courtney, Thanks for asking your question to planDisney! I have to say, if your 2-year-old already has a driver's license, I would be wildly impressed! No, Disney does not expect you to bring any proof of age for children under 3.

Little ones who are under 3 years old are special Guests of Mickey Mouse and will receive complimentary admission to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. You do not need to provide documentation for your little one's age, so your little prince or princess will be able to enter the theme parks with you.

It's actually quite fun and entertaining and probably one of my favorite things to do when it's really crowded. Yes, you read that right! You can very easily fill up your day at Disneyland and California Adventure by not going on rides - and you'll have fun too!

We hear all the time from people who heard that guests now have to pay for Disneyland rides on top of park admission, and that is not true. Every ride and attraction at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure is still included in the cost of admission. You do not have to pay extra to ride any ride.

There are some rides at each Disney World theme park that have height requirements; guests may only experience those rides if they're tall enough. But the vast majority of attractions at WDW do NOT have a height requirement. Babies and toddlers are welcome to experience those.

All Guests, regardless of age or height, can enjoy “any height” rides and attractions. Please visit this link to view a full list of all “any height” rides and attractions at Walt Disney World Resort. I always carry my baby on my lap on rides and attractions that do not have lap bars.

In regards to “Lands”, I recommend Fantasyland and Toontown as the top 2 spaces for babies and very young children at Disneyland. They both include the most “all ages” attractions and there's room for little ones to run around and explore in safe places.

Nicole, kids under three years old are considered Guests of Mickey and don't require a theme park ticket or park reservation. However, children above the age of three need their own ticket.

As with Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion is a perfectly fine Disney World ride for babies and toddlers RIDE WISE. You sit in a little clamshell and flow through spooky animatronics and light shows. But the intro is pretty creepy, and it's really dark.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant There's arguably no more iconic Disneyland ride experience than riding in a Dumbo car. The attraction, an aerial carousel, is neither high enough nor fast enough to scare most riders, and instead provides a smooth and memorable ride for guests of all ages.

You can't do everything at Disneyland in a single day, and you shouldn't feel pressure to. You can ride all the rides without much difficulty many days, but you'll miss out on some other attractions, entertainment, and characters. You'll want to know what your priorities are before you get to the park.
