Disney is for kids of all ages and toddlers are no exception to that rule! The Magic Kingdom has a lot of attractions that are perfect for toddlers. I recently visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom with some friends who had an adorable two-year-old and got to see firsthand the enjoyment little ones have for Disney World. Here are the best Magic Kingdom rides for toddlers.

Best Magic Kingdom Rides for Toddlers
With some theme parks, like Universal Studios, little ones don’t get a full day of fun. Disney World, especially the Maic Kingdom is perfect for toddlers. Very few rides at the Magic Kingdom have height restrictions.
If you are traveling with a group/family are kids are different ages, make sure to schedule these rides throughout the day so the little ones are getting some Disney magic.
It’s a Small World
Sing along to the classic anthem of world peace during a delightful musical boat tour hosted by the children of the world. From a colorful dock, climb aboard a cozy boat and set sail along the Seven Seaways Waterway on a 10-minute journey.
Toddlers love all the movement, colors, and big ride elements.
To be honest, when I was first making my friend’s itinerary for her Magic Kingdom day, I almost skipped this attraction. She was only spending one day at the Magic Kingdom and also had a ten and a six-year-old and I thought there were better rides they would enjoy. I am so glad she asked about It’s a Small World. The two-year-old’s face lighting up at everything made my day.
