Riding together?

[boppi25]

This might be a silly question but my husband and I are taking our three kids (they will be 4.5, 2.5, and 11 months) in October and I wondering if we will be able to ride any of the rides as a family? I am assuming most rides are set up for pairs of two but none of our kids are old enough/would be comfortable riding by themselves or with someone they don't know so I just don't see how this will work out. How have other families dealt with this? Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a ridiculous question.

Most rides that kids the ages of your kids can ride (due to height restrictions) can take 3....so the baby and one child rides with you, the other child rides with DH. There is also the child swap option for then rides the baby is too small to ride.

I think on any ride that you can take the baby you would be able to split up and do one parent with one child, the other parent with the other child and baby. I know you could do it that way on the Little Mermaid/Peter Pan/Winnie the Pooh type rides, Dumbo/Flying Carpets. Obviously Carousel of Progress you could all sit together. The boat rides you could fit in the same boat, probably the same row even (It's a Small World, Mexico boat ride, Maelstrom though that may be a little scary, the boat ride in the Land building). Even with our kids ages (we only went with our older two, they were 7 and 9) we often split up on the rides and each took a child. Except Toy Story Mania we sat together with the kids on the other side but you could easily do the one parent/one child, other parent/other child and baby on that ride as well.

Thank you for your help. I was just worried we would spend the entire time split up and not be able to witness our kids enjoying the rides together.

Ou first trip, dd was seven months old and I held her in an ergo or freehand Mei tie baby carrier on a bunch of rides (pirates of the Caribbean, buzz light year, etc). She walked right after that trip so by eleven months she wasn't happy in a carrier anymore, but a lot of kids still are. If yours would be, a baby carrier is an awesome thing for the lines and rides.

Even if you have to split up the cast members seem to do a very good job of putting families close together. One Ariel/Peter Pan/Haunted Mansion while we weren't sitting in the same ride 'vehicle' we got glimpses of each other along the way
