different ages

We are going to Disney thru the make a wish foundation and was looking for tips on rides that all the kids could enjoy togather.Our kids are 11,11,10,10,8,4, and 3.When we go places we have such a hard time finding things that will entertain the little kids without boring the older kids.Or the little kids end up being to small for the stuff the bigger kids like.

I know what you mean about issues with age differences. We have a 5th grader and two preschoolers.

We had a really great time at Disney. Our older DD was interested in everything we did with the little ones. Even the "little kid" rides are really good for all ages. The only issue we had was that our youngest did not meet the height requirement for a few rides that our older ones wanted to do. Do you know about the rider switch feature that Disney offers? That worked really well for us. Also, one night I took our oldest to Magic Kingdom by ourselves while daddy stayed back at the hotel with the little ones. They went swimming, had pizza, and went to bed early and we did all of the "big kid" things.

There are only a few rides throughout the parks that have height requirements, so you will all be able to go on most everything together. Disney does a great job of appealing to many ages all at once. All the shows, movies, parades, etc. will be able to be seen together. Depending on how tall your littlest ones are, you may be able to do almost everything. Our last trip, our ds2 was tall enough to ride everything other than Space Mountain, Rockin' Rollercoaster, and Expedition Everest (I will say that we do have exceptionally tall kids). Overall, there will be very little that you cannot experience (and actually all enjoy) together. Have a wonderful trip!
