Have 5 children (3,5,5,7,9) and 4 adults - how do we do 2 person rides? Will the 9 be able to ride with 7 and 1 adult ride solo (looking at mine train and slinky) or are we going to have to rider swap to get everyone on the ride?
 
Is the 3 year old tall enough to ride? Other than that, I would consider the ride swap they offer.

From the Disney website ~

"To board an attraction, children under age 7 must be accompanied by a person age 14 years or older."

So your 7 and 9 year olds can ride together with an adult solo.
 

Thank you - both the 7 and 9 have been before and rode mine train and slinky so I wouldn’t have a problem with them riding together. I wouldn’t rather do it that way rather than having the 9 year ride be herself.

Yes, 9 and 7 year olds can ride together. One adult per 5, 5 and 3 year old, one adult rides alone. Personally, I would put 9 and 7 year olds in a ride car in front of one of the adults, but that's just my own preference to keep an eye out if need be.
 
Yes - was planning on sandwiching in the 2 younger riders between remaining adult/child pairs
 
Does the movie Home Alone suggest a possible solution.

Seriously though with a group that size there usually is one or two that don't want to ride a certain ride so it very seldom is a problem. One could stay behind or an adult could possible ride alone. There are many options.

Children aged nine and seven can ride together. Each five-year-old and the three-year-old needs an accompanying adult, so one adult will ride by themselves. Personally, I’d seat the nine- and seven-year-olds in the car just ahead of one of the adults so it’s easier to keep an eye on them, though that’s just my preference.
