Disney World, long-known as the “Vacation Kingdom”, is a destination that hosts visitors of all ages from many countries. Its four theme parks—Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom—feature a variety of attractions, from thrilling to sedate. High thrill attractions often have height restrictions, for safety reasons, as you might imagine. For families & groups that include children, there are a number of rides and shows that do not have height restrictions. This allows lots of participation and enjoyment regardless of age or height. These attractions are also fun for senior citizens who may not be inclined to try high-thrill attractions. See below for a list of these attractions along with a brief description.
