baby swapping

[MomofCKJ]

Hi folks,
Can I just make sure I understand how this works right? We have 3 kids. The oldest will be 9 at trip time and is now already 54 inches so she'll be able to ride all (I think right?). The middle will be 7 at the time and is currently 48 inches. The little guy will be 4 and is currently I think like 38 inches.

Say for a ride everyone is tall enough except the little guy. Do we tell the CM at the entrance we want to baby swap? And then what? Do you get in the regular line? Can you Fast Pass baby swap? And would it work like DH and DD #1 ride while I wait with DD#2 and little guy and then when they are done we hand over little guy to them and DD#2 and I get to ride?

Thanks for your help! You really need a complete education before taking a vacation like this!

It depends on whether you have a fastpass for the ride. If you do, then your whole family (including the little guy) will go up to the fastpass line and tell the CM you want to child swap. Then DH and the other children will go through the FP line and you'll be given a child swap pass. When they come out, you go through the fastpass line and ride. Also the child swap pass is for up to 3 people (I think, it might just be two) so your other children get to ride twice!

Now, if you do not have a fastpass then you'll still get the child swap pass from the CM, but then you're DH will have to stand in the regular line. You'll still go through the fastpass line though.

Be sure your youngest is with you though or the CM will not give you the swap pass. You have to prove you have a child that is too small to ride.

It sounds more confusing than it really is and the CM's will explain everything once you're there.

It is very easy to use! We used it for the first time in Feb. I do reccommend getting the FP is there is a line. You have to show the CM the child that is staying behind and they had you the swap pass. Swap passes are good for one time but doesn't have a time limit that day. The other poster did a good job of describing how it works, I thought I would just give a few tips. Our third child is our most impatient so, we did the FP, came back at that time, showed them the baby, CM hand the parent that stayed a ticket, others rode the ride, then swap. Goofy's Barnstormer(no FP) you wait at the exit for the ride. Have fun!

So if DD7 goes with DH and I wait with baby, DD7 can ride again with me when DH gets off and I give him the baby???

Yup, your DD9 and DD7 go with DH while you wait with the baby and then they get to go again with you while DH waits with the baby. This is the reason why both my kids were on EE twice and I only got to go once
have a great trip.

My DD is very excited that she can go on the rides twice!!
