We are going with three kids 6,8 & 9. They are excited to be going together but my DD and DS are fighting over who will get to go on rides with DNephew. I told them that on most rides they could ride together. But I can't remember which rides will pose a problem. Some of the problems will be alleviated since my DD is afraid of the "big" rides like the rollercoasters and motion rides. Can anyone help me with this or have a solution I could recommend?

Thanks! :goodvibes
 
There won't be a problem on the boat rides (POC, IASM, etc) as they seat several across. I think they'll let you squeeze three kids on most other non- coaster rides also, unless they're big for their age. I've ridden with 3 people (2 adults, 1 kid) and I'm sure the three of us would be bigger than three kids. Hope this helps.
 
3 kids can seat right next to each other on Peter Pan's Flight, Dumbo, Haunted Mansion, Magic Carpets.

They can share the same ride vehicle (but not necessarily in the same row) on Snow White, Pooh, TTA, Jungle Cruise, & Mad Tea Party.

The only non roller coaster rides that have room for only 2 people are Speedway & Buzz Lightyear.

Hope that helps!
 
Let them take turns. On our last trip, my triplet neices and nephew always wanted to sit with my DS and so they took turns.
 

Just a word of caution that the minimum age to ride without an adult at WDW is 7 and you are not considered an "adult" until ae 10 (LOL). Based on the ages you posted it is likely that they won't be allowed to ride without an adult anyway.

On the trip when my dds were 6 and 8 they were not allowed to ride together without me. My 8yo had to ride alone and I had to ride with my then 6yo. Unless the 6yo looks old enough that the cm won't stop you you should be prepared to ride in a mix of adults and kids.

The rides I remember the CM enforcing this the most were the barnstormer, Splash and BTMR. On Splash and BTMR we rode three in a row but on barnstormer my oldest had to ride alone. Even when my dd's were 8 and 10 they were asked ages because they both look young for their age.
