My wife and I are bringing our what will be 20 month old in November. We are both slightly bigger people and curious if there is a list of rides where all three of us can sit together comfortably in the same on the same ride I know some rides like the magic carpets. They’ll be two on the front one in the back, but curious if all three of us will be able to fit like Peter Pan, Dumbo, etc.

Also, will we be able to do a writer swap with her where our daughter rides with one parent and then the other parent rides with her back to back on rise where we all will not fit like tomorrowland Speedway.

For Rider swap, I believe if it has a height requirement, it would have it.

For 3 in a row, not aware of any official list. For MK, the ones that come to mind:
Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Winnie the Pooh, Mermaid.

Rider swap is for families with a non-rider. If your child is too short for any rides then you can use Rider Swap so both parents get to ride while the other waits with the child. But if the child is tall enough to ride there would be no Rider Swap issued.
 
I have heard Rider Swap can be used even when a child is tall enough to ride but chooses not to ride. This is the information on the Disney website.

To me it would be worth asking.even if your child is tall enough to ride but chooses not to ride.

Rider swap may be usable if someone who can't wait alone chooses not to ride, so that whoever waits with them can tag-team with someone getting off the ride and then get on the ride without an additional wait.

However, the OP is asking whether rider swap can be used to allow a child to ride twice, once with each parent. Rider swap won't work in that case. The only way for the child to ride twice when there are only 2 other people would be for the child to wait in line twice (or use Lighting Lane once and wait in line once).
 
From my experience, Dumbo was tight when my husband and I rode with my then 20 month old (although she was also trying to climb out of the flying elephant)

Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Its A Small world you should be fine. I think the hunny pots have 2 rows so you could split up there if you needed to.

Peter Pan we didn't ride when she was that age, but I feel like the ride vehicle might be on the smaller size?

At Epcot, you should be fine on frozen ever after and living with the land. I feel like Remy you could probably fit in one row.

DHS: Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway I think one row would work. Same with midway mania (I think?)

Animal Kingdom: Navi River Journey and Safari.

My oldest hated rides at 20 months, so I don't remember much of them.

If your daughter is able to ride an attraction, you will all ride it together in either one or two rows. Rider Swap is not intended for the purpose of a child to be able to ride twice unless there is a ride where you have a child that meets the height requirement and another child that does not meet the height requirement. In that case the child that meets the requirement can ride twice, once with each parent.
 
Haunted Mansion immediately came to mind but IMO it could be a tight fit because of the lap bar situation and the width of the doom buggy. It can technically hold 3 (2 adults and a small child) but if you're saying you're larger in size that might present an issue with your young child with you

I can't remember if Mermaid has more space or not than Haunted Mansion.

The usage of rider swap isn't for individuals who cannot fit their entire party in one ride vehicle and thus have to split up ride vehicles.
