Advice on rides with 5 kids

[AllieKitter]

Dh and I will have 5 kids between the two of us. The oldest 2 are 5 years old. I'm trying to figure out how we will do rides... how many people can usually sit together. Dh and I will also each have a 2 year old to keep up with plus the 3 year old that falls in the middle of it all. I'm feeling very overwhelmed about juggling this all and making it work.

Any suggestions?

Most rides like Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Small World, Snow WHite, Pooh you will be abel to get three to a set and if small maybe four. Goofy's Barnstormer will pose a problem. there may also be some height restriction differences. Sometimes I have had cast members offer to ride with us to help with the smaller ones.

I think for some rides your gonna have to take turns riding with all the kids. I wouldn't put two 5 year olds on a ride by thereselves in their own cart without an adult. I dont think the CM's will let them go by thereselves either. Good Luck!!

You will be fine, I travel to wdw with my dd's as the solo adult and we have never had a problem fitting the three of us into a seat. You can ride 3 and 2 on everything kids your ages can ride. If the 5yo is tall enough for some of the 40" rides you will have to separate and take him/her anyway.

Even the barnstromer fit the three of us until my dd's were about 6 and 8, on buzz lightyear I sit in the middle and steer so each kid has a gun. Haunted Mansion, IASW, Pooh, Snow White, Dumbo - all of them are going to fit two kids and an adult in one seat. Just tell the CM 5 when they ask how many and they will assign you two rows and you can sit in any grouping you like.

Also the minimum age to ride alone at WDW is 7, until then they need a "responsible adult".
