Can non-rider hang out in child-swap area?

[My2CrazyGirls]

Hi! I searched but didn't quite find the answer. There are 4 of us, 3 will ride Velocicoaster and Hagrids but one teen won't. Will she be able to come through the line with us and wait with the bag in a child swap area....assuming there is a child swap area for these rides?

I haven't done it, but I don't see why not. There is definitely a child swap area.

We have done it, no issues.

Great! Is it easy for the riders to get to that swap area to get the non-rider?

Yes. We have swapped and had multiple kids in the rider swap area - some tall enough to ride - and they have never said anything. Sometimes it can get a little crowded, though, depending on the ride and day and time.

We've done it and had no issue. On one trip, our oldest daughter didn't want to ride FJ. We all got in line with our bags and told the TMs she wasn't riding. When we got to the point where child swap branched off, we told the TM there, gave our daughter all of the bags, and she went and waited. No issue.

On our trip last Christmas, one of our daughters was pregnant (she's having the baby today! Just waiting on the call) so she went to child swap and waited for each ride.

The only thing is, if the 'waiter' is carrying a bag, be prepared to explain to about 6 different people that they aren't riding.
