Baby Swappin', Ride Maxin', Busiest Timin' - HELP!!

[JustAKid]

Two questions, the first of which is about baby swapping. I've researched this and thought in order to take advantage of the baby swapping program you had to stand in the regular que and could NOT use a fast pass. Is this true? Also, can I baby swap on ANY ride that has a height requirement?

My other question is for those who take advantage of the RideMax software. I'm wondering if you can explain to me how to imput ONE ride. I want to know which part of the day to ride a certain ride but it won't let me do the "make my plan" option without 3+ rides, or it says "you don't have enough rides to take up the alloted time, please add more rides"

I lied, one more question, in a calendar year, which is the busiest month? TIA!

I can answer the first part. You can combine FP and Babyswap - yes you can!! It's a great way to maximize your FP usage. And, there are rides without height requirements that offer babyswap, i.e., HM, TSMM. If the child is too scared to ride, or asleep in a stroller, you can get a babyswap pass.

Others may have a better idea of how to do this, but the way I used Ridemax was to put the ride in several times. Then I could see when it thought the line was going to be the longest.

RM requires a minimum of three rides. You can add the same ride three times (or more). Won't that work?

When we have done baby swap on rides my DD was tall enough for but too scared for they made us go through the line and then one of us wait with her where you load for the ride.

I would guess that you could do this on any ride, but it is only a guess based on my experiences on a few rides. One disadvantage with this is that everyone still has to wait through the whole line even the bored, cranky, hungry, tierd, etc. non riders. But it still beats having to wait in line twice.

Can you take another ADULT with you when you do the baby swap, or does it have to be a child (does 15 count as a child)? TIA

 

[disneymum58]

Yes you are allowed to take another person with you, even an adult. Your lucky 15 year old could ride twice!

We've used the baby swap and yes, you can combine it with fastpass use. And no, your entire party does NOT have to wait in line with you. We did it this past summer and we went up to the first cast member we saw for the ride, told them we had a little one that the other was staying with & they gave me a card to give to DH when I got off. It worked well because I could take one of our DDs on, then he could take the other and we took turns staying with a DD & the baby. And on Splash, they didn't even ask to see the baby...

And if your kids are old enough to have tickets, even if they won't ride, use their tickets to get FP - gets you more rides without waiting in line!
