The Strangely Specific Ride Rule You Need to Know About in Disney World

Disney World can have very odd rules.

From balloons not being allowed inside of one of their parks, to the act of scattering ashes being banned (trust us, this is an actual rule due to it happening countless times), there are a ton of rules on the property that make you think “Well, that’s strangely specific.”

Millions of people go to Disney World all year round and because of that, Disney has tons of rules in place to make sure safety is the number one priority for all guests (and even the animals living at Disney World!). Most of the rules we can assume were made due to Disney cast members experiencing certain things a little too often (*cough* spreading family member’s ashes at the Haunted Mansion *cough*) and realizing that, if the safety of guests and cast members are the main focus, then certain rules have to be implemented.

And sometimes, as silly as the rule sounds, Disney still takes them very seriously, including this one very specific rule all guests must follow: children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by someone over the age of 14 to board an attraction. Specific? Yes. Important? Very much so, and this is a rule that you might want to plan around.

Although not as well known or as peculiar as some of the other rules we’ve mentioned before, this rule for riding attractions is important to ensure the safety of all riders. If you’re a single parent heading to the parks with two children, both under the age of 14, it’s important to note ahead of time that your kiddos are sadly unable to ride in a vehicle together unless you are with them. But, that doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on any rides or experiences if that’s the case.
