Im booking my rides tommorow night. Just want to be clear on something.

We have 3 kids 10,7,2.
So I know we all need fast passes for to use child swap.

So if we all go to say splash mountain and my wife And 2 older kids use their fast passes they just ask for child swap, like the old way, and they ride while I sit

After there done I can go on as child swap as long as I have a fast pass too. Now is it like the old way where my kids can ride with me again so I don't have to ride alone? I know we did that with old fast pass but just wanna make sure. How many people can come back with child swap. Can another adult or only kids?

Not trying to cheat..lol. But don't wanna ride alone either. Lame

Lastly if my 2 year old doesn't meet height requirement for splash mountain can she still ride with us if parent holds her? I feel my other kids did
 
1. so I don't have to ride alone?

2. Can another adult or only kids?

3. Lastly if my 2 year old doesn't meet height requirement for splash mountain can she still ride with us if parent holds her?

1.That is what Child swap is for so the person watching the child doesn't have to ride alone.

2. up to 3 including the child swapee I think

3. no you either meet the height requirement or you don't ride.
 
We used child swap last year but had no other kids with us other than our 2 year old. We did not need two fast passes. My hubby or I would use a fast pass and get the rider swap paper and the other would use it without needing the fast pass. Not sure how this applies with kids though.

Also no one under 40 inches can rise splash, even if held.
 
If she doesn't meet the height requirement she can't go on your lap.

We utilized rider swap a lot last month. If we all had FP for the ride my husband entered the FP line with our daughter and rode, than I rode with her using the FP line and the rider swap pass. If we did not have FP for the ride, my husband entered the standby queue with our daughter and rode, than I rode with her using the FP line and the rider swap pass. I believe the rider swap pass is good for up to three people.

The rule has always been that you needed a FP for everyone in the party even if you are using Child Swap. In the days of paper FPs it was never enforced as far as I can tell.

Now with FP+ for a number of reasons, easier to check, more use of the FP line, abuse of the old system and I'm sure others I'm not thinking of. It seems it's enforced now.
