A lot of attractions that have height restrictions have a “child swap” facility so nobody needs to miss out.

Often labelled Disney’s most mature park, the introduction of Toy Story Land and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction is a promising move in a family-friendly territory.

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Attraction Height Restrictions

Blizzard Beach

After the success of Typhoon Lagoon Blizzard beach opened with added thrills in a melting ski resort setting, because, well, why not!

There may be more slides to choose from here but the pace feels a little more frenetic than Typhoon Lagoon. If you have young children I would advise you to try Typhoon Lagoon first.
