Can I use a FP and do a Baby Swap at the same time?

[MamaLema]

Just wondering if its possible to do both at the same time?

Yes. We have done this many times. Just tell the CM at the fastpass return what you are doing and they will direct you. Have fun!

Would both adults still need a FP? Or does only the first rider need a FP and the second rider gets to ride with the baby swap pass (like the one given at Test Track)?

I think that both riders need a FP.

Just a tip for Splash Mountain - since they have that cute play area for kids right outside the entrance dh and I don't bother with the child swap. We'll both get a FP, one will ride while one sits in the play area and then the other rides. Why bother standing in line with the kid(s) when they can be playing. The wait time with a FP is never much.

I do not believe that both parents need FastPasses.

We did this last October. My DW and I took our 1yr old DD and three of her cousins aged 13,13, and 12. The way it worked was that the five of us that had actual park passes went and got five fast passes. When the time rolled around for the fast passes we went to the baby-swap area (at the FastPass return area at Splash and RRC)and DW and the three nieces used their fastpasses after getting the baby swap pass. The baby-swap pass states that three people may ride with the babyswap pass. After DW and the 3 DNieces got done with the first ride they would return to where I was waiting with DD. I would then go with the baby swap pass AND the left-over FastPass and go to the FastPass return area. I would use the Babyswap pass and take two of the girls with me (to make up the three people allowed) while the third girl would use the leftover FastPass. That way DW and I would each get to ride with the three DNieces while they got to ride twice in a row using Fast Pass. We had a ball using this feature.

I needed to read your post 5 times but I think I finally understand.

Baby swap and FastPass are two seperate things. To ride with a FastPass, everyone riding needs one.

With Baby Swap , one person asks the CM at the entrance for a coupon and waits in the designated area. The rest of your party rides the ride using either standby or FastPass and when they exit the ride, the other person can enter the FastPass line to ride.

Some rides, you can get right back on as the rider swap area is at the front of the ride.

The Baby Swap pass is good for up to 3 riders.

I am so confused! What do you mean that the baby swap pass is good for 3 riders? Please explain!! Tell me how this would work - There are 6 of us, 3 adults, 3 small children. Can we do a baby swap with all 3 kids (they all belong to dh and myself, other adult is my sister). Since there are 3 adults does that matter or should we pretend we're not with my sister or does it even matter. Please clear up the confusion!! Why do I feel like this is way more complicated than it should be?

The "baby swap fast pass" says Child Watcher Pass at the top and looks like a fast pass. It says at the bottom that up to 3 people can use it. I'm a little confused by what other people have written here, but here is what we did when we used the child watcher pass.

1. I would take two of the older kids in our group to the fastpass return area of RnRoller Coaster with our 3 fastpasses. I would tell the CM that we needed the Child Watcher Pass. He would give that to us and we would save it until after all three of us would ride.

2. Meanwhile, husband was waiting with baby elsewhere, so baby didn't have to wait in line with us.

3. After the 3 of us rode RnR, we would meet up with husband and give him the ChildWatcher pass. He would take the same two kids back on RNR through the Fastpass line while I waited with baby. This way both older kids could ride again.

Thanks for clearing that up!
