2 year old and rides?

[tessa]

We are taking our son (will be 2 in June) to WDW for his first trip in August! I was just wondering, can someone point me to a place where I can figure out what he will/will not be able to ride in the parks? I really have no idea what he will be able to do!

I am sure this has been asked a million times before, so sorry about that, and I do appreciate your help!!

it will depend on the child and the ride - most kids can go on a lot of the rides - but something like haunted mansion may be too dark - and the child will be too small to go on the 'race cars' by themselves - but if you go on w/them and talk them thru - they can go on a lot -

my recommendation is to go thru each park and look over each ride and see if you child would be okay w/the theme and then decide which you want to go on -

on a quick note - we've taken my son on almost everything - haunted mansion - pirates of the carribean - jungle cruise - the safari ride - the norway ride - living seas - and so many more when he was 6 months and 18 months - so there will be a lot for you to do in all the parks -

Technically he can go on anything that does not have a height requirement. (Splash Mountain, BTMRR, Space Mountain, Goofy's Barnstormer (35"), Stitch's Great Escape at MK; Soarin, Test Track, Mission Space at Epcot; Dinosaur, Primeval Whirl, EE, Kali River Rapids (38") at AK; Tower of Terror, Star Tours, Rock n Roller Coaster at DHS. )

Some rides without height requirements that have been known to scare little ones (although some love them!) are ITTBAB at AK (this one freaks me out ), Snow White's Scary Adventures, Haunted Mansion and Pirates at MK, and Honey I Shrunk the Audience at Epcot.

I would start out with some non-scary rides like It's A Small World, Dumbo, the Safari (my son's favorite at 2!) and work your way up. HTH
