Hi all! Super random but wondering what rides our family of 5 will be able to ride all in one ride vehicle or split up 3 and 2.

For reference as I know this may effect how many can sit on a bench seat:
Me: the height of a young teen, midsize adult woman width
DH-average height Male, slender
DS 9-tall for his age almost 5 feet, slender
DS 6-average all around
DD 3 at time of travel-tall for her age 40 inches several months ago, slender

Can we do, for instance, peter pan or space ship earth with a 3/2 split?
Any rides that we will be forced to do 2/2/1 not including rollercoasters?

Our trip actually includes an additional 5 adults, 2 teens and 1 kids depending on the day and park but for at least half the time it will just be the 5 of us.

Thanks!
 
I would imagine you would be able to do most bench seat rides as 3/2. I feel like they let you ride together as long as everyone can fit on the seat (aside from a small lap child). If memory serves me correct, my family rode Haunted Mansion all in the same car: husband (average height, fairly fit), me (usually the size of my teenage self, but 21 weeks pregnant that trip), teenage stepson (maybe between 5'5" and 5'7" that trip, slim athletic build), and my then 2.5 year old son on a lap (he was less than 3 ft tall at the time, small to average size for his age). Back in 1990, my dad, my siblings and I (ages 5, 8, and 9, though my siblings were small for their ages) rode Peter Pan together because my mom hates that ride. And I have a picture of my family- husband, me, preschool aged son, and toddler daughter (she was in a baby carrier strapped to my chest) in the same Dumbo elephant. I think they will try to avoid a 2/2/1 split if at all possible, because if I remember correctly, your 9 year old would be the one sitting by themselves. You have to be at least 7 to ride by yourself, and kids under 7 have to have someone 14 or older riding with them.

One off the top of my head is 7DMT if you do it. You will have to sit 2/2/1 and the one alone will need to be the 9 year old because the 6 and 3 year old need to sit with someone 14 or older.

Just so you know the 3/2 split may mean you are in the same vehicle like Pooh, but some you will be split into two vehicles like Peter Pan and Speedway.
