How the Ride-Eligibility Matrix Shows Which Rides Fit Your Party
The ride-eligibility matrix (a Family plan feature) maps every height-restricted ride across all four Walt Disney World parks against each family member's height, so you can see at a glance who can ride what.
The short answer
The ride-eligibility matrix shows you, in one grid, which rides each member of your family meets the height requirement for — across all four Walt Disney World parks. Instead of checking heights ride by ride, you see green-light and not-yet-tall-enough rides for everyone at a glance.
This feature is part of the Family plan ($30/mo) and pulls from the heights you save in your family profiles.
How to set it up
- Go to your Family profiles (Family section, at /app/family-profile) and add each child with their current height.
- Open the Family page (/app/families) to view the ride-eligibility matrix.
- The matrix lists height-restricted rides down one side and each family member across the top.
- Each cell shows whether that person currently meets the height for that ride.
Because it reads from your saved profiles, keeping heights current is what keeps the matrix accurate — see below.
What the matrix covers
- All four parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom — in one place.
- Every height-restricted attraction, so you can plan around the rides that actually have a cutoff.
- Each family member you’ve added a profile for, side by side.
This makes it easy to spot, for example, that your taller child clears Slinky Dog Dash but your youngest doesn’t quite yet — before you walk across the park to find out at the entrance.
Keep it accurate: track growing kids
Kids grow between trips, and a half-inch can be the difference at the measuring stick. Update each child’s height in their family profile before your trip so the matrix reflects who qualifies right now. As heights change, rides that were previously off-limits will switch to eligible automatically.
Plan around it
Once you know who fits which rides, the Family plan helps you act on it:
- Use Rider Switch info so adults can take turns on rides the little ones can’t board yet — no double-waiting.
- Build your day around eligible rides in the Park-Day Builder (/app/plans).
- Check stroller-friendly and quiet routes for the parts of the day your youngest sits out.
Good to know
- The matrix shows eligibility, not live wait times — pair it with the Dashboard (/app/dashboard) or Ride-Now for what to ride next.
- Heights are Disney’s posted minimums; always follow the official measurement at the ride entrance, which is the final word.
- A reminder: SupaPark never books anything. For Lightning Lane or dining, SupaPark alerts you and you confirm in your own My Disney Experience app.
With every family member’s heights in one matrix, you’ll know before you head to a park exactly which rides fit your party — and which ones to save for next year.
