Use to have an account here and haven't used in many years. Have been to WDW a few tines with a couple of my kids long ago. We are going to to be staying offsite at Windsor Villiage or something like that with my mom and dad, sister and her two kids, and myself and four of my kids. Arriving feb 4th and staying till feb 11th, then my kids and I will be back again at WDW staying on sight Feb 16-18. So here goes the fast pass related questions. We wont be buying our passes until we arrive which means cannot set up our fast passes very far in advance, how screwed are we? It seems like a somewhat slower time, will we have a chance at fastpasses still. Secondly anyone have experience using the disability services/fast pass for that. I was told I should be able to get a pass that also lets my sons stroller be able to go through lines like a wheelchair? Lastly and not Faspass related, for ride swap, is there an age requirement for swaping with. For instance can my 16 year old son and 10 year old daughter ride, while my 13 year old son and i wait with the 2 year old, then hand his brother off to him? Thanks everyone!! I am glad I am back on this board asking for advice

1. I recommend that you DON'T wait to buy the tickets, but instead, buy them in December or early January, and make your FP reservations 30 days in advance.
2. It's not a FP.
3. I don't know of that.
4. No problem with the ages you mention.

Hmmmm.... Actually the time you are coming is crowded. A lot of people are surprised by the crowds over Valentine/Presidents day weekend but the are comparable to Xmas time. If there is anyway you can get your tickets sooner that would be best. If not, with a good touring plan and hitting the parks at Rope drop you can still fit in the most popular attractions that you probably won't be able to grab FPs for.

(I'm not sure about the disability question, I'll let someone else answer that.)

Here's the crowd levels while you're here:

Maybe i wrote it wrong We will be at Disney 4th -10 then down South , then back at Disney 16, and 17. The pass is kind of a long story so may not be able to do in advance. Its a pay cash thing, long story.
 


That is a surprisingly busy time to go, but as someone who rarely plans FP more than a week or 2 out, even for larger groups, I don't think you should worry too much about FP if you are flexible. Some may be harder to get, and you probably won't have as much wiggle room in selecting specific times, but I frequently get passes for major attractions very close in.

Since it sounds like you are using the disability pass + rider swap + FP, you should be able to plans things out pretty well with a bit of research on how they all work. Several years ago my family was in a similar situation at DLR and those 3 together can be a great combination.

There is a way to get a tag for 'stroller as wheelchair' I believe at guest services. Check the DISabilities forum for all that information.
