Try this site
http://www.wdwig.com/gal_ride.htm
It shows a picture of the ride & you should be able to tell if ya'll would fit. If you don't fit 3 to a seat your 9 year old might be able to go in the car just a head of you, you could still keep an eye on them & they might feel "grown-up" by having their own car.
If you go to the main page at that site you will find answers to questions you didn't know you had.
Another good web site for WDW is www.readersclubhouse.com
You can ask any question about WDW, the hotels (& not just Disney property hotels) or anything having to do with Disney.

Definately go to MGM Studios, the shows are great! If you will be there 3 or 4 days, also go to Animal Kingdom & eat at the Rainforest Cafe. I also agree, go to www.wdwig.com it is an amazing, all disney website!

I would not recommend Epcott. Epcott has few rides and it is very boring, especially from a child's point of view.
Animal Kingdom doesn't really have many rides (it still has more than Epcott), but there are several interactive exhibits and playgrounds for children. It also has many walkthroughs in which you get to see a wide variety of animals.
MGM definitely has the most rides out of the above two. It also has many shows from classic disney movies such as Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. If you go to MGM do not miss the Fantasmic show, it is excellent and will entertain the kids.
It would be a very good idea for you to go to www.disneyworld.com because they have each park listed with its rides, shows, shops, and restaurants. It also has a description of each of these and if there are any restrictions such as height. You can also get a printable map.
Good Luck and have a wonderful trip.

The other advice I would give you is to stay in a hotel on the Disney property. It gets very HOT on summer days (not to mention thunderstorms) and it is very nice to be able to go back for a mid-afternoon swim; returning to the park in the early evening refreshed and relaxed (esp with little people)

I think Epcot is good for the brain. While I love the rides it is also fun to go and think just a little. Epcot has more hands on stuff and a little more educational *note I said a little*. I think since the children are young you may be able to fit in together more than you think. I would definately recommend the water parks, especially during the summer. They are probably my favorite part of WDW. Go to all the parks you can cram in. Remember that some stay open later than others so you could leave one early, take a swim, relax and then head out to a different park in the evening.

I'm usually a supporter of staying off Disney property at a much cheaper rate, but this time I agree that you should stay on the property. Start early in the morning and go back for midday swims and naps in the afternoons, then go back out after 5 PM, when the temperature may have dropped a few degrees. Feel free to write to me if you have any other questions as I live in Orlando.
