Hi everyone, I am hoping someone can either give me some guidance or point me in the right direction to a post covering this somewhere else.
This is my first trip traveling with a little one. I have been to WDW about 30 times, but always as an adult only. I had my first baby in November, and we will be taking him for his first birthday to the parks this November
It's been 2.5 years since my last trip, so on top of needing to figure out the entire Child Swap thing, I also am out of practice with what attractions I should be trying to FP. I assume that Disney is too smart to let me and my boyfriend book different FP+ and also use the child swap, right? It would be awesome for me to book a FP+ for say, Space and him to book one for BTMRR and then we both get to take advantage of the rider swap shorter line for both. But something tells me that they have figured this one out, and it's not going to happen.
Assuming that is not allowed, I really just need some help determining which rides I should use Rider Swap, and what attractions would be better used with a FP+ for us.
A little background our party if it helps:
Heather - 36, DVC Member. seasoned WDW professional in a former life. Super out of practice and has no good "strategies" anymore
Mike - 36, hasn't been to WDW in a decade
MJ - First timer, will be just shy of his 1st birthday when we travel
Staying one night at ASMu, arriving late night. Transferring over to AKV Kidani for 5 additional nights. We want to visit all 4 parks, but know that we won't be able to see and do it all with our son. He is good with a lot of stimulation and loves being around all the sights and sounds, but I know he'll crash sooner than we expect. We would like to be able to hit all the classic rides that we can take him on, but mom and dad both want to be able to ride the as many of the newer and more thrilling attractions as we can, as well.
Any help is super appreciated!
