DL with 3 kids and 2 adults

[PigletSeeker]

Getting ready for a quick trip next week to break in our AP's from Santa This will be our first trip with the 3 kids with only 2 adults and trying to get things planned. Kids are 7,5, and 2. What rides (besides all the obvious boat rides) can one adult take 2 kids on? Can 3 fit on Dumbo, Autopia, & Peter Pan? How would TSM work with a family of 5? I don't think my 2 oldest are ready for riding alone yet.

For the "big" rides DH and I will need to switch out and each go one at a time with one older kid so someone can stay with the youngest. Should we just all get FP's or do Rider Swap.

Also for BTM, which side should kids sit on, and do they tell you this in line? I don't want my 40 lb DD to be crushed by my 230 lb DH on the turns What if you do one adult and 2 kids on this?

We did two adults and one child on PP (we were there with DD(2), DS(4), DS(6), DH, and me and the grandparents) so I'm sure you could do 2 kids and one adult. Same on TSM, but there's only two "guns", so one of you (probably the adult ) doesn't get to actually play the games.

As for FP, Get them with all your tickets AND do rider swap. This gets you on more times So, you and one kid go through with FP, and get rider swap for DH and other kid. Then later in the day, you repeat with DH and one kid using FP and Rider Swapping with you.

Most will fit 3 across. Actually me and my 4 kids did quite a lot without a 2nd adult (we fit in one boat on Peter Pan, my oldest two sat in front of me on Snow white, all rode HM). For TSMM and Buzz there are only 2 guns but 3 will fit across.

As Shannon said, most rides will fit 1 adult and two kids across just fine. But just in case you feel cramped that way, be aware that your 7 year old will be allowed to ride by him/her self. Seven is the magic age for riding alone.

HTH,
