By height

What can my child ride?

Each band below shows what unlocks at that height and what is still out of reach.

At 40 inches (102cm)

A child who measures 40 inches can ride 40 of the 42 attractions at EPCOT — every one of the 37 with no requirement, plus 3 that do have one.

Newly unlocked at this height: Mission: SPACE — Green (Less Intense), Soarin' Around the World, and Test Track.

Still too short for: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (42") and Mission: SPACE — Orange (More Intense) (44").

At 42 inches (107cm)

A child who measures 42 inches can ride 41 of the 42 attractions at EPCOT — every one of the 37 with no requirement, plus 4 that do have one.

Newly unlocked at this height: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Still too short for: Mission: SPACE — Orange (More Intense) (44").

A child who measures 44 inches can ride 42 of the 42 attractions at EPCOT — every one of the 37 with no requirement, plus 5 that do have one.

Nothing is off limits. At 44 inches your child clears every height requirement in the park.

How measuring actually works

A cast member measures your child against a fixed stick at the entrance to each attraction: shoes on, hats off, standing straight. There is no discretion and no negotiating — the stick decides.

If your child is borderline, ask for a wristband at the first attraction that measures them. A coloured band means the height has been checked for the day and they will not be re-measured at every queue, which saves a lot of standing around and a lot of disappointment repeated seven times.

Thick-soled shoes are not cheating; they are simply how the measurement is taken. Hair that adds height is not — expect it to be flattened.
