Which rides are best for a 1yr old?

[ory]

Which rides are best for an almost one year old baby? I know that several of the rides have a height requirement. Does that mean that if there is no minimum height that a baby could go on it?

If there is no height requirement...you can take a child of any size on it. Most 1 year olds just will not be into the rides and attractions yet. You can just hold your baby on the ride. If he or she likes it, then that is great...but don't feel disappointed if your baby is ho-hum about the experience.

I would recommend Pooh, It's a Small World, Buzz Lightyear, Nemo, and similar. They have a lot of visual stimulation that my son loved at that age.

Other than those, any ride they are eligible for height-wise should be appropriate.

The bonus of that age too is that you can sneak in a ride on Pirates or the Haunted Mansion because they really don't have any context for understanding the scary nature of them.

Really, there are only about 12 rides in all of WDW that height requirement. Your one year old can pretty much ride everything else in all of the parks.

I would say the best rides are the ones that your little one won't cry on. My daughter was 18 mos and screamed all through Pooh but loved Peter Pan (which was in the dark). Every child is different. But one ride for certain all kids seem to love is It's a Small World.
Have Fun!

I'm taking my DD for her first birthday next week so I can report back which were her favorites then.

DS went when he was 13 months old. He went on most things. We went mostly for DD who was 3, so we didn't go on a lot of thrill rides. I would say his favorite rides were It's a Small World and Cinderella's Carousel. His favorite character was definitely Pooh! He loved Pooh at both Crystal Palace and 1900 Park Fare!!
