Greetings, J! Thanks for visiting us at planDisney with your fantastic question.
I had to swing like Tarzan over to this question because my love for this is as deep as any ocean and as sweet as any harmony. For, like you, I travel as a party of five - two adults and three kids - and we are constantly searching for rides that we can all enjoy together. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that Disney California Adventure Park has some great rides that can accommodate your entire family with no problem!
Rides that can generally fit a family of five in one vehicle:
Rides that can sometimes fit three (one adult and two kids) across:
J, I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the Silly Symphony Swings and Jessie's Critter Carousel, which are rides the whole family can enjoy at the same time (just not in the same vehicle).
Please note that some of these rides have a height requirement. I recommend using the
Disneyland Mobile App to filter out rides that don't fit the needs of your family. To do this, open the app and tap the "Pin" icon, which is second to the left, on the bottom navigation bar; this will open the park map. From there, make sure the category is set to "Attractions" and then click on "Filter" in the top navigation bar. This view will give you options to filter by theme park, age, height, and more!
J, I hope this answers your question. Have a wonderful visit to Disney California Adventure Park! Please
visit us again soon!
Best,
Melissa
