📏 Height Restrictions – The Basics
-
No, your toddler doesn’t need to measure their height for ‘It’s a Small World’.
-
But they will for thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain (1.02m) and Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (1.20m).
-
Most restrictions are for safety harness fit, not age — so measure your kids with shoes on.
🚫 Who Should Skip Certain Rides
According to official Disneyland Paris guidelines, you should avoid certain attractions if you have:
-
Back or neck problems
-
Heart conditions
-
High blood pressure
-
Motion sickness
-
Pregnancy
-
Any medical advice against intense motion, drops, or spinning
You’ll see these warnings on ride signage and in the app — but let’s be honest, the Tower of Terror queue isn’t the place to discover it.
🪑 Size & Comfort Tips
-
No official weight limits — but seat design and restraint style may affect fit.
-
Crush’s Coaster and Hyperspace Mountain have more compact seating; Ratatouille and Pirates of the Caribbean are roomier.
-
If you’re unsure, speak to a Cast Member before queuing — they’ve seen every body shape imaginable and can advise without judgement.

📱 How to Check While in the Parks
-
Use the official Disneyland Paris app — live updates on ride status and restrictions.
-
Signs at each queue entrance show minimum height and health warnings.
-
Cast Members are happy to explain (and usually do it without making you feel like you’ve failed a fitness test).
💡 Tips for Parents & Carers
-
If one child is tall enough and the other isn’t, use Rider Switch to avoid double queuing.
-
Bring entertainment for little ones who can’t ride — a snack, a game, or the thrill of watching mum scream on Tower of Terror.
-
Some rides look tame but have sudden jerks or drops (looking at you, Peter Pan’s Flight on a windy day).

🛠 Billy’s Pro Tips
-
For kids right on the height limit, get measured at the start of the day while they’re standing tall.
-
Avoid queuing for a restricted ride “just to check” — if they’re too small, you’ll be walking back in disappointment.
-
If in doubt about size/fit, test the seat at the entrance — many attractions have one.
❓ Ride Restrictions FAQ
1. Are there weight limits on rides at Disneyland Paris?
No official weight limits, but some restraints are snug. Try the test seat at the entrance if available.
2. Can pregnant guests go on any rides?
Yes — gentle rides like It’s a Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean are fine, but thrill rides with drops, spins, or sudden movements are not recommended.
3. Can babies or toddlers ride anything?
Yes! Many attractions have no height restrictions, especially in Fantasyland. Baby carriers must be front-facing on some rides.
4. Do Cast Members really measure kids?
Yes — and they don’t mess about. If your child doesn’t meet the minimum height, they won’t be allowed on.
5. Can I use Rider Switch on any ride with height restrictions?
Almost all thrill rides offer it — ask the Cast Member at the entrance before queuing.
