Child swap with 2 kids??

[CJK]

I was wondering how the following scenario would work. If a family of 5 goes to Disney where 1 child is an infant, how would child swap work? If one parent goes on a ride with 2 kids while the other parent stays behind with the infant, how could the one parent handle 2 kids? On a ride like Mine Train where only 2 people can ride in a seat, how would that work for the parent and 2 kids? They aren't comfortable having 1 child ride alone (ages 4 & 6)? Is there some kind of solution or are they out of luck?

I believe on rides like mine train they would have to ride just one child and one parent at a time since neither child is 7 so they can't ride alone yet. In that case I would think one child would just wait with mom and baby then that child and mom would ride when dad and other child gets back.

The policy is that kids have to be 7 to ride without an adult. They were very strict about enforcing it in December- DD(11) was bummed because it meant she never got to sit with her brother (4).

As long as you only have 2 kids that want to ride it will still work though. Dad can take kid1, and when they are done mom can take kid2 with the RS ticket. No one gets to ride twice though.

Thanks to both of you!

Our older two are 5 and 8, so my 8 year old will ride in front of behind is either alone or with a stranger.
If that doesn't work, one parent takes one kid, then the other parent takes the other kid.

What's the definition of riding "alone" though? It has to be in the same row?

A friend of mine took our 2 kids (1 hers, 1 mine, both age 4) on SDMT and the CM let the 2 kids sit in one row and my friend sat in the row behind them.

That is what we did with 4 and 6 year olds. There was no problem and they got to rid twice.
