Very Gentle Rides:
* "it's a small world": This classic ride features a boat journey through a whimsical world with catchy songs and colorful scenes. The motion is very gentle and the atmosphere is calming.
* The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Another gentle boat ride, this one takes you through the Hundred Acre Wood with scenes from the beloved Winnie the Pooh stories.
* Peter Pan's Flight: A classic flight through Neverland with a gentle lift and a delightful story, though the darkness might be slightly overwhelming for very young children.
* Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid: This ride is mostly dark, but the gentle movements and familiar characters make it fun for many toddlers.
Other Options:
* The Barnstormer: This is a small roller coaster that may be a little intense for some 16-month-olds, but some kids love it.
* The Magic Carpets of Aladdin: This ride is more of a spinning ride, so it's not very smooth, but it's fun and engaging.
* Prince Charming Regal Carrousel: This classic carousel is a delightful ride for most toddlers, but the horses do move slightly.
Important Considerations:
* Height Requirements: Be sure to check the height requirements for each ride, as they vary.
* Child's Temperament: Not all children are comfortable with the same rides. Some toddlers might find the motion of rides like "it's a small world" too stimulating, while others may be fine.
* Waiting Times: Be prepared for long lines, especially during peak times. Consider using the Disney Genie+ or Lightning Lane system to reduce wait times.
Tip: If you're unsure about a ride, ask a Cast Member for their recommendation. They are trained to help guests find the right rides for their children.
