Kids riding together, what age?

[jcmaro]

I tried searching but couldn't find an answer. What age can kids ride together on rides? As a family of 5 there will be several rides that we want to each be able to participate in, Buzz, TSMM, etc; but can my older two (8 and 6) ride together and one of the adults be alone or will my son (8) have to be the one to ride alone? Thanks!

The 8 year old will ride alone. At 7 they can ride along but under 7 they must be supervised by someone older - I think 13 and up.

I think your 8 year old would ride alone for rides like that. My 4 year olds were able to sit together in the front seat of the magic carpet ride, but that ride is a little easier

It seems kind of silly, but they will want the 8-year-old to ride alone so the younger sibs always have someone over 13 with them. You must be 7 to ride without a teen or adult chaperone right next to you. They were very strict about it on our trip last week, asking my petite almost-10-year-old how old she was just about every time she rode with her 12-year-old brother, even on tame rides like Peter Pan, just to make sure she wasn't 6.
