Easy Rides at Disney World Your Baby Can Enjoy
Are there any rides for babies at Disney World? Yes! Read our extensive guide on navigating the 4 main parks and choosing family-friendly attractions. Here we list our top picks for easy rides at Disney World your infant can enjoy.
To make this as simple as possible we are breaking down each park in Disney World and listing all of the family-friendly shows and rides. We consider an attraction to be a family-friendly ride if it does not have any height requirements meaning anyone including infants are welcome. Although Disney offers many different attractions, we consider some to be a little more calm and newborn-friendly. Lets break it down.
Disney World Height Requirements
Most of the rides at Disney World are available to guests of any height. For some rides, there are height requirements as well as height restrictions. These restrictions are usually for the water parks and limit how tall a child can be for certain small rides. Right now, we are focused on attractions that are suitable for newborns to enjoy throughout all of the parks.

How to Ride with Your Baby
There are many different techniques to holding your infant while on a ride. Our best pick is the Boba Wrap. Because infants need so much stability, we found it best to wrap the little one up in a comfortable, lightweight carrier. The Boba Wrap is both comfortable and easy to use with a little practice. Now, let’s get back into it.

So what is an easy ride for your infant? Let’s break it down even further. We have listed by category each attraction and their level of intensity for newborns. How do we define intensity? If a ride may have frightening scenes or quick movements we consider it to be more intense.
The rides we consider skipping are marked with RED. Some of these rides may not be intense but may be too long if your newborn tends to get restless. We attribute YELLOW to attractions to check out before riding. GREEN means the ride is generally calm and on the must-try list!
