MK with an 18 month old

[hoganjdmb]

I was wondering if my 18 month old can go on most of the rides at MK? I know she's not big enough for the mountains but I can't remember if there is a height minimum for the basics ( IASW, Buzz, Pooh, Snow White etc.)
Thanks Dani

You can do a lot with an 18 month old. We took Michaela to Disneyland when she was 18 months old. You have to set your expectation level. My wife and I got to ride very few big rides together. But we did all the dark rides, shows, etc. She LOVED "It's a small world"

Word of warning... keep a tight grip on your little one while riding the Peter Pan's Flying Boats. Michaela got so interested in the miniatures that she just about jumped out of the boat.

Suggestions

All of Fantasyland except the teacups.
Dumbo first, ONLY if your little one is that kind of kid.
countyr bear
tiki room
buzz lightyear
TTA (depends on kid)
toontown obviously
The train
Tom Sawyer
Pirates of the Caribbean
Jungle Cruise (a must)
Magic Carpet only if they are not jumpers
Too young to be scared in HM so I'd do that too

Another word of warning. Some little ones are not "brave" yet, so character pictures may need to include another family member, but get them anyway. Anna (my 11 yr old) was VERY timid. we couldn't do anything like that. Michaela (now 7) loves to see pictures of herself and the characters when she was in DL. Stephen and Kaiti (my oldest two) on the other hand marched right up and got pictures with Mickey, Minnie etc when they were that age.

We took my daughter to WDW and on a Disney Cruise when she was 11 months old. She had a blast with all the characters and on the rides. I got so many pictures of her with the characters. I got this idea from the boards - I wound up putting the pictures in her autograph book on the page opposite of the one with the autograph. Like if Minnie signed on the right side, then the pic of Haley and Minnie would go on the left side. I think the book came out great, and she'll have something for when she gets older. We're also going back when she'll be 23 months old too. Just don't have too many expectations in case things don't turn out like planned, and you'll have a great time.

That age was great for our first DD - she loved everything except the characters. She wanted them on her own terms, which was don't touch me. Second DD also did great with rides and shows, but her older sister (they are just over 2 years apart) was much more afraid. I guess she understands more of what is around her now.

Piglet33 - that picture is TOO CUTE!
