Simply because most 11 year olds are tall enough to experience all the height-restricted rides at Walt Disney World doesn't necessarily mean they're mature enough to be responsible for both themselves and a younger child.
This. The discounted rates for children are reflective of the fact that they will not be able to experience as much of the park due to their physical size.
Disney has to draw the line somewhere in terms of who is old enough to be responsible for a very small child in case of a major emergency/evacuation/fire/etc and 14 is a reasonable line to draw.
If they didn't draw it and left it up to the parents, y'all know there are plenty of people out there who would be utter idiots about it.
