Hi, I am planning our first Disney vacation for next year with my 8 and twin 5 year old boys. Do you find it difficult to find rides that can accommodate a party of 5 with three of them being this young? I am concerned that my wife and I will have to ride with the young boys all the time and my 8 year old will have to ride a lone or a stranger.
 
It really will depend on the ride. A few examples:
Sorin you will all ride together across a long row with others

Test track seats three and three so one other guest will join you

Tower would be all straight across

Star tours is the same all across

Peter Pan you will take two ships one parent with 2 kids and one parent with one, any mix.

On Big thunder you might be able to ride the 2 5yos with one parent...

Space mt is 3 to a car so split similar to Peter Pan

Only issue would be the like seven dwarfs or similar where it’s 4 to a car

Basically :) only a few would you have this issue
 
We are also a family of 5 and most rides can accommodate 3 to a row/car.

A few of the roller coasters only hold 2 because there are individual restraints (Everest, 7 Dwarfs, RocknRollercoaster), but some where there is one lap bar (like Big Thunder Mt or Splash) they will allow 3 as long as you can squeeze in.

The only other exceptions I can think of are Buzz and Toy Story. Both of those will allow 3 to ride in one row, but there are only 2 guns so only two will be able to participate.
