I understand how the child swap works, but I am wondering if we will be able to use it in our situation.

We are going with our friends and their dd2. Will dh and I be able to ride while our friends watch the girls and then switch with the child swap pass when we get back?

It just seems that the child swap is geared towards one family with kid(s) that cannot ride a particular ride.
 
Yep, you won't have any problems with that plan. All child swap passes allow the parent looking after the kids to also bring at least one person back on the ride with him/her. And some of the attractions allow the person to bring back 2 people for a total of 3 (Test Track and Mission Space have been like this in the past).

The other thing you can try and do is get fastpasses for everyone, including the kids who aren't riding. Send the first group through while someone stays behind with the kids, and then send however many people you have fastpasses left back on while one parent stays behind. It lets some people ride more than once!

Great idea unless the kids are under 3 and get in free.

We'll be going with our 15 month old next month. Grandma and Grandpa are tagging along too, so it's reassuring to know the child swap will work with 4 adults! Thanks!!
 
You will love the child swap - it is such a time saver! The only words of caution is that we occassionaly found CMs that followed different rules than the others. For example, we had a CM refuse us a child swap pass at Tower of Terror because he said it wasn't crowded enough. (not true)

We also tried to get a child pass at Mission Mars and again were told no. So we went over to another CM who happily gave us passes.
