Is Pinocchio’s Daring Journey Kid-Friendly?
Technically, Pinocchio’s Daring Journey is designed for kids of all ages, including toddlers and preschoolers. However, this is by far the scariest ride in all of Fantasyland – and it’s highly likely to frighten younger guests.
If your little ones aren’t familiar with Pinocchio or might be scared by figures like Stromboli, Monstro the Whale, or even the trippy imagery and fluorescent colors, this is one you’ll want to skip until they’re a bit older.Â
Best For: Older school-age kids or preschoolers who aren’t afraid of a few scares and frightening figures along the way.
Will Pinocchio’s Daring Journey Cause Motion Sickness?
With its slow speed and relatively straightforward path, Pinocchio’s Daring Journey shouldn’t cause motion sickness for most guests.
