Fun for the Whole Family Well, almost everyone — it does have a height restriction of 38 inches. Because Disney World doesn't have many coasters, a lot of folks like this ride because it's one of the few thrilling opportunities they have like it. Here we go! But even so, kids can enjoy it, too.

While there is more to see at Toy Story Land during the day, the nighttime feel is a bit more magical. It's cooler too, or (in the summertime at least) not so hot in the evening.
