Tangled/Hunchback of Notre Dame cross-over

Has anyone noticed this Tangled (2010) and Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) cross-over?

Both Phoebus and Eugene (known as Flynn Rider at the time) state that they're alone right before a clang.  Very interesting...

Height Requirements

Traveling to WDW with kids is great, it's the best!  But there are those big attractions that they're just a bit too short to ride.  But how short?  And how to prepare?  We hope this article can help.

So here is a list of all the attractions from the four theme parks in WDW.  This list does not include the water parks.

32 in.

MK-   Tomorrowland Speedway

35 in.

MK-   The Barnstormer 

38 in.

AK-    Kali River Rapids

40 in.

MK-   Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

           Splash Mountain

           Stitch's Great Escape

Epcot- Soarin'

           Test Track

DHS-  Star Tours

           Tower of Terror

AK-    DINOSAUR

44 in.

MK-   Space Mountain

Epcot- Mission: SPACE

AK-    Expedition Everest

48 in.

DHS- Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

AK-   Primeval Whirl

54 in.

Tomorrowland Speedway (to drive alone)

Note, just because an attraction's height requirement is low, does not mean the child should ride it.  For example, Stitch's Great Escape is a very dark show.  So children who are afraid of the dark are encouraged to skip it.  But on the other hand, Primeval Whirl has the tallest requirement, and it's really quite mild (if you don't mind the spinning).

If a child is too short to ride an attraction, but an older sibling is, prepare the child before the trip so there won't be a meltdown at the entrance of the attraction later (we may or may not be speaking about this from experience).  Also, if both parents want to ride, Disney has something called "Baby Swap".  To put it shortly, everyone gets to wait in line (and enjoy the queue), but when it's time to board, one parent waits with the smaller child and one rides with the taller child.  Then, when they're done, the parent who rode "swaps" with the parent who didn't ride, without waiting any extra.  Just talk to a Cast Member before you hop in line.

We hope this helps you and your family for your next trip!
