The Best Disney World Rides for Toddlers

[@seckora]

This is still useful!!! We have a trip in January with our 22 month old! We took him at 8 months and he loved Disneyland and the characters. Hopefully, Disneyworld is the same

[@IMVADER2]

Just as sort of a heads up with the Safari ride, please do keep the little ones seated! The drivers are great at spotting moving guests, and they do warn that they won't take the stops to see the animals if the riders aren't cooperating and are given too many warnings

[@thornlings]

Just wanted to say thank you to you and the commenters for warning about sensory issues! Most people don't think about that sort of thing because it's not an issue for their families but it's a huge help to us who do need to take it into consideration! So thank you for going the extra mile there!

[@graceparnall9812]

I was first taken to Disney world when I was 10 months old and I remember my mum saying that I absolutely loved it’s a small world because of the songs and all the bright colours. Also when I went when I was three I loved the people mover because I was waving at people and it absolutely made my day when they waved back!

[@SauraElanthier]

I wanted to add a couple from when I took my son when he was 2.5 years old! He loved the Carousel of Progress and Haunted Mansion! HM stopped while we were in a hallway where the wallpaper pattern transitions into eyes and that started scaring him a bit, but he still loved it!

[@SauraElanthier]

@Grace If I remember correctly, he sat between us and we just put an arm around him so he wouldn't get moved too easily.

[@Priano85]

Could you do a video with the best attractions for toddlers (The Boneyard, Enchanted Tales with Belle, etc)?

[@AmberDoubleU]

We are taking our 3 year old boy girl twins to Disney World next spring so this video really helps, thanks!! 😀

[@bo1932]

My family’s strategy when me and my sibs were real little (4 the most part it still is) is to try to go in the early morning, go back to the room at 11ish and take a nap or go to the pool. Then we’d go back at around 4. It worked pretty well, especially at bay lake towers. We could just walk back to the room in like 5 minutes!

[@madelinedittmer2995]

Thats what my parents did with my brother and me growing up. It was perfect.

[@RaptorsCantSwim]

I do the same with my special needs brother. Keeps him out of the major crowds which can tend to be a little much for him. Good tip. :)

[@Sweetpicklehater]

I’m very much toddler free, but you still make my day ❤️

[@MagsBoop]

Yes! We go in March with my 2 year old. This video was meant to be ❤️

[@Falalalalalalala]

Dallaina Race how was it taking your 2 year old??

[@graceparnall9812]

I remember loving the safari and Nemo and friends as a small kid. I suppose it inspired my love of animals and today I am studying zoology studies!

[@RaptorsCantSwim]

My older brother is a special needs guy, he might be 30 in body but his mental state is definitely that of a toddler. He loves the Pooh Bear ride, and the Kilimanjaro Safari. When we are there we always ride those at least five times each. He, with his issues, finds It's a Small World to be a little too much happening. He loves the Peter Pan ride too. A pro tip; I have found that the Rider Switch also works if you are the caregiver of a special needs adult, 100% of the time when I have explained to cast members that we are switching because we are caring for a special needs person, not a child, they have been completely fine with it. So don't think Rider Switch is only for people with kids. :) At least in my experience.

[@livgreenie]

My baby sister LOVES Pirates of the Caribean! She doesn't mind dark rides in general, but she hears the singing and the animatronics moving and goes nuts! If you have a toddler who isn't so scared it's a great ride for them

[@sandraknight2110]

We went in November with toddlers and a expectant mom. We used the list for expectant moms which included Pirates of the Caribbean. Our toddler loved that dark ride.

[@delle3955]

Sandra Knight how were the lines for toddler rides in November?

[@Julie1019]

Just went with my 1, 4, and 6 year old, you got all their favorite rides except pirates. I can understand though that it may be scary for some kids but mine loved it so it's worth checking out if you think they can handle the theming.

[@adricjones5605]

Muppet Show, Frozen Sing-A-Long, Beauty & Beast Show in Hollywood Studios might be fun things for a toddler.

[@Bartlet4america]

Not really a ride but more of a show experience, but my lil sibs loved philarmagic when we went when they were young, if people need a sit down classic

[@sjt5059]

When I was five I went on Peter Pan and was partially in awe, but mostly mortified!!! Lol. I seriously thought we were hundreds of feet in the air. I just went back on it for the first time last week & was shocked at how low we were to the ground!

[@becca6061]

This video is like a list of my toddler’s favorite rides. We have watched this probably 5 times already! ❤️

[@jothecrusher904]

My 3 year old daughter ADORES the Dumbo play area and I have to practically DRAG her out of there to go *on* the Dumbo ride. She can easily spent over an hour there and I love it because I can sit down in the air conditioning!

[@shaniszpigiel9104]

Hi. I love you guys!! I wanted to know if you guys can do a video on kosher food in the parks. A lot of my friends who watch you guys agree with me and it would be a huge help to us!!! Thank you!!!! I can’t get enough of your videos!! I watch them ALL THE TIME!!!!!

He literally can’t go on any rides and will not remember it when he grows up. I would wait till he’s 5 for it to be a bit more memorable for him

[@Stephaniemickle]

Thank you for making this video! I have a toddler and I’ve always wondered if the trip is really even worth it until she’s a little older. But it’s good to know the things we could do if we do decide to go!

[@Diddy8DO]

The train scared the living daylights out of my then 3 year old daughter last year. One toot of the whistle back by the Barnstormer and she cried for over an hour and was worried the rest of the trip. She's excited to know that the train won't be running this September when we head back down lol

[@rexfinn7021]

bttw dont start on Barnstormer to intro them to roller coasters when I was younger I loved the old barn stormier but now they made it so it hurts your stomach when I was little: however I recommend Slinky Dog Dash it is the most lie the old barnstormer. But my first roller coaster was Big Thunder mt so just depends ( sorry not trying to be rude it came out that way sorry 😬)

[@littlecarol1517]

if your kid is like 5 or older, go on thunder mountain, super fun and fast! i went on it when i was 7 but I still think if your kid is brave enough and doesnt mind fast rides they'd love it

[@caroleezekiel6000]

Thanks so much! We are going in March, and this trip will now include our 2 year old and a 9 month old grandchildren, so this will be super helpful. We never really plan extensively for our trips, but I am this year. We want to get the most out of this trip and not spend time standing around trying to decide what rides would be good with them.

[@peeweepixie3655]

I don’t care how old I am, it’s a small world and peter pan will always be two of my most favorite rides!

[@lemonictheories3147]

Warning: there is a section on figment where it's pitch black and then theres a big loud shot of smoke that left a toddler in front of me in a crying panic

[@RaptorsCantSwim]

I was just about to give this warning. My special needs brother definitely don't like the loud bang.

[@sushidushi9284]

Yeah, AJ forgot to mention that! Its ok! I remeber I was at DW with my mom's friend, she had a child who haded 7yearsold and I had 9yearsold, Me being the nice girl, I letted him sit next to me, And at that part that you mentioned, he started crying, in panic. I closed my eyes, im a scardy cat

[@journeytwojordan]

Very helpful video. I have a better idea of what rides are better suited for my two toddlers. Thanks.

[@michaelthebishop5290]

Sorry but I'm still kinda afraid of Journey Into Imagination and I was terrified of it as a kid. I know kids are scared of different things but you completely forgot the sound test room where it goes PITCH BLACK and a loud train noise blares and wind is blown on you. That probably would set a lot of toddlers off. And the jump scare at the end??? I'm sure some toddlers get through it perfectly fine but I'm really confused why there's no warnings on that one.

I remember the Heffalumps and Woozles scene in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh scared me so much when I was four years old.

[@snazzillababy6885]

My toddler would be content to just ride the monorail all day. Maybe we’ll just let him do that instead of buying him an AP when he turns 3. 🤣 (KIDDING)

[@michelle_holley]

My toddler hated triceratops spin and was terrified, she was only one at the time. She liked the little mermaid ride and it's a small world. We're going back when she's two so maybe she will like the rides more🤷. I love your video's they have been so hopeful when planning for Disney!

[@kakarotvegeta5095]

Yay, I remembered some of those rides the last time that I was there.

[@nicolewaters8603]

My 2 year old really got freaked out on the people mover. Going through space mountain, pitch black of course, but there was a moment that I don’t remember from previous rides, it was pitch black dark for about 30 seconds after we just went through space mountain. No sounds, no lights. Couldn’t see the hand in front of you. We were in pitch black darkness for about 2 minutes. It absolutely gave her anxiety about all dark rides after this. She even rode pirates before the people mover and LOVED it. She was freaked out on Nemo, little Mermaid, frozen 😩 it was awful.

[@pink4873]

Nicole Waters umm.if you love those rides still go on them that’s dumb and sad she was scared of people mover all my favorite rides I went on those when I was a baby and loved it

[@nicolewaters8603]

Aj Lomo we went on that ride in late November and she is still scared of tunnels or riding into darkness. We also got stuck on spaceship earth and we were stuck in the mammoth scene with pitch black and scary noises. It was terrible.

[@pink4873]

Nicole Waters that sucks but it’s sad 😢 u can’t go on all your favorite rides because of your daughter

[@lust4lyfe101]

I plan to go to WDW in august and since one of my nephews is 2 years old he doesn’t need tickets since he will be for free, but wondering since the parks are limited in capacity will my 2 year old nephew still be able to go into WDW? reason why I ask as since he doesn’t have a ticket and if they see him come in they might stop us cuz many ppl booked the park that day that they can’t go pass the capacity.

[@melinaparissi508]

Oh my gosh I love your videos so so much!You give such good tips and advice.Keep up the good work:-)

[@jimlooney4701]

We went with another family in November, they had their 3 year old with them. They left me with the task of planning the rides, etc. Your list is very close to what i came up with. Note that discussion with the child before riding solves lots of things. Our then 4 y/o granddaughter worried re Dumbo (her parents suffer from motion sickness), but i talked with her about how i would ride with her AND she would be in charge of how high she would make us fly. It worked and then when we went to AK & she saw the green dinosaurs she immediately identified it as like the Dumbo ride and she wanted to get on it now -- easy for that ride. We also discussed Haunted Mansion and that nothing would hurt her -- the ride is a party, so she rode it without issues. Little ones who watch Disney TV are primed to trust Disney and want to experience. The adults tend to be more concerned than the kids. Don't stress and the kids will be fine.

[@amazingp-y3j]

They love the tractor concept for Pixar rides. Shanghai Disney opened up a Toy Story Land too, and there’s this ride (I don’t know the English translation) that could be called ‘Bullseye’s Ranch’ ?? It’s basically the Aliens ride

[@EstudosTeshuvahComVancler]
