1 day @ Magic Kingdom

[NicRI]

We'll be visting grandma and grandpa in FL with a day at Disney. (Hey, beggers can't be choosers... I'll take all the Mickey & gang I can get!!) My dd is only 4 but she's tall for her age and pretty much off the chart for hight. I read somewhere that there are hight restrictions on some of the rides. Do you have any recommendations as to which rides/shows we shouldn't miss? Which ones we should?

I think everything in Magic Kingdom should be seen! The only bad ride is Lilo and Stitch. don't waste time in there. She probably should also skip Space mt. even if she's tall enough. My DD9 loves rides and that one was iffy with her. Otherwise, everything is great. My DS6 has been on everything except all 3 mts. since he was 12 months old. Even the tea cups (I hold the wheel so it doesn't spin)

Ps. some kids are freaked out by snow white. It's a little creepy in one part.
Have fun!

But he sounds shorter..he's not 44" so didn't make it onto Space Mountain. that being said, these were his "must do" favorites:
Fantasyland
Dumbo
Small World
Carousel
Peter Pan
Mickey's Philharmagic
Winnie the Pooh

Fontierland
Big Thunder mountain RR

Adventureland
Jungle Cruise
Pirates of the Caribbean

Tomorrowland
Astro Orbiter
Indy Speedway
Buzz Lightyear

ToonTown
Barnstormer


My opinion (and this is only my opinion) if you only have 1 day with a 4 year old, make sure to hit as many things in Fantasyland as you can. Try to get there early in the morning and use Fastpass as much as possible. Good luck and have fun!

Just a thought on my part....be careful on fast-moving rides where your child may be tall enough but the straps/seatbelt don't fit tightly. You will need to make a decision ride-to-ride IMO (if you are thinking roller coasters or Tower of Terror-type rides).
