I am taking DD6 and DS4 to DL in April. It will be just the three of us. I am trying to figure out what rides we will have to skip due to the seating. I have been to DL many times but I have never had to worry about this before so I haven't paid much attention and it is hard to tell from pictures. I have a few rides I am wondering about and would appreciate input on any others that we may have problems with.

Autopia--Will they let all 3 of us in one car?
TSMM--Will they let all 3 of us on one side? Or my kids on one side and me on the other? (Don't know how much I like that even if they allow it)
Buzz--Will they let all 3 of us in one car?
Splash--Will they let me and DS sit in the back and DD sit in the seat in front of us?
Monster's--Are the seats big enough for 3?
Roger Rabbit--Are the cars big enough for 3?
BTMRR--Are the seats big enough for 3?
Winnie the Pooh--Are the seats big enough for 3?
Mr Toad--Are the cars big enough for 3?

Thanks for any help. I would just like to have some idea of what we are facing so my kids aren't excited for a particular ride just to be disappointed when we can't ride.
 
We have three kids, so even with 2 adults we had the same issues. I can answer most of these for you:

Autopia--Will they let all 3 of us in one car?
- Yes

TSMM--Will they let all 3 of us on one side? Or my kids on one side and me on the other? (Don't know how much I like that even if they allow it)
- Yes, only if you can fit one on your lap. We had 5, the first time I had ds on my lap, but the second time I wanted to shoot too, so we let my 8 yo ride alone. She went alone on the next car, so I could actually see her next to me the whole ride.

Buzz--Will they let all 3 of us in one car?
- Yes

Splash--Will they let me and DS sit in the back and DD sit in the seat in front of us?
- Not sure, hopefully someone else knows this one.

Monster's--Are the seats big enough for 3?
- Yes
Roger Rabbit--Are the cars big enough for 3?
- Never ridden this, sorry.

BTMRR--Are the seats big enough for 3?
- Yes

Winnie the Pooh--Are the seats big enough for 3?
- Yes

Mr Toad--Are the cars big enough for 3?
- Never ridden this one either

HTH!

On splash they will let you you and DS sit in the back and DD sit in the seat in front of you.

Winnie the Pooh has 3 sections of seating per car, so even if you don't fit in one row, you'll still be in the same car.
And if I recall correctly the same is true for monsters, there is more than one row per car so even if you don't fit in one row, you're in the same car.
Roger Rabbit and TSMM have pretty reasonable seating so you should all fit with no problems.

I'm not sure on the others but the one's I think you'll have problems with are autotopia and Mr. Toads as the seats are pretty small.
 
I should have added that I am a small adult and my kids are skinny. Autopia was a tight squeeze IIRC, but everything else should be fine if you are average sized.
 

My husband never went on many rides so we rode 3 all the time.

I won't repeat the above info but add:

On roger rabbit you can spin and always see the kids, same for most of TSMM.

Ohhh I just thought of something. They won't let the kids ride alone unless they are 7 or older. We had an issue with this when one turned 7 and the other was 5 and they wanted to ride together, alone, so both could shoot on Buzz.

OK I have no new info for you. Sorry!
 
i'm 99% positive that my husband and i have ridden RR with one child....so 3 in one row, yes. and we are neither tiny nor pooh sized, so i would imagine you being skinny and your children being still quite small, that all of you would fit.

as for mr. toad's....we are a family of 6 so we break off into pairs. but before we had our youngest, we had to ride 2 in one car, and 3 in another (we wouldn't have been able to ride any other way), so i think you'll be okay on this one, too. a tiny bit cramped, maybe, but i think they'll let you all sit together. unless things have changed since we last had to ride it that way (5 years ago).

the seats on pooh seem really spacious to me, so i'm sure you'll have no problems at all fitting all 3 of you in one row. the rows get larger as you move toward the back of the hive (the cars are shaped like giant beehives)....and the last row could probably fit 4 adults easily. we always fit 3 people in the front (2 adults and one child).

Yes, DH, DS and I ride on RR and Mr Toad's all together and it's never been a problem.

Also, on TSMM DS didn't have to sit on a lap, he just sat in the middle of the seat. The bench you sit on is pretty big but there's only 2 shooters so the person in the middle can't play.

Yes to all with "maybe" at tight squeeze on Mr. Toad (we did it with an 8 yr old and a 2 yr old). On TSMM and Buzz you can ride with 3 but there are only 2 "guns".
 
Thanks for all the replies!! I was hoping that we wouldn't have trouble with many rides. On Buzz and TSMM we will just have to ride a few times so everyone can have a turn. (Mommy needs to play the games, too.) I am on the little side as are both of my kids so I think we will be OK on pretty much everything. This is the first time I have taken the kids on a trip by myself so I am trying to think of anything that might be harder to do without a second adult to help me. Thanks again everyone!!!
