We are going to Disneyland when our oldest will be 3, our twins will have just turned 2, and our baby will almost be 7 months. We have gone on other vacations with the kids and they have done great! I am just wondering what rides, if any, the baby will be allowed to go on. We won't be doing baby-swap because the three older children are too short for all rides with height requirements anyway.
If you have personal knowledge, please share! Thank you!

They don't allow lap sitting on Roger Rabbit and require that the child be able to sit up by itself. Personally, I tried it with a baby who could sit up and it was a mistake. It's a rough ride. I wouldn't do it again with a baby.

You will be surprised how many rides baby can actually go on. The list is shorter of rides baby cannot go on, rather than ones he/she can go on.

Ok, we sound alot aike in terms of family. I have 4 boys and the easiest rides to do with all 4 and 2 adults are
Train
Casey Jr
Buzz Lightyear
Pirates
Haunted Mansion (unless some of your kids are scared of it)
Pooh
Alice
Storybook
Small World
Columbia (if you have anyone interested in Pirates especially)
Jungle Cruise
Peter Pan
Snow white
Pinoccio
Mr Toad
Carousel
And make sure you stop at Goofy's Park in Toontown. Only 1 enterance/exit so the little ones can get the ants out of their pants while you sit at the exit to make sure they don't escape.

Thank you all for all the helpful suggestions. When I was trying to research this earlier on other sites, all I really found was crazy people saying the you shouldn't take a child to Disneyland until they were 6 or older because only then would the child remember the experience. What a load of garbage! Yes, I'm sure that our kids won't remember this, but they don't remember their early Christmases or birthdays either. I guess these people think that families shouldn't bond or play together until it will be remembered. Even if the kids don't remember anything, my husband and I remember these early memories and treasure them. Besides if we wait until everyone remembers the trip, it will lose the magic of seeing Mickey and believing he is the real and only one. :)

Babies LOVE disneyland, or at least mine do. We're going in a few weeks with an almost 3 year old and a 4 month old. Our older daughter has been coming since she was not quite 1, and has always seemed to enjoy herself - smiling, laughing, etc. Hoping the same is true for #2.
The memories (and the pictures) so far have been awesome. Can't imagine why you'd wait until they're 6!!!
