Fast Pass vs. baby switch off

[Misskitty3]

I am a little confused regarding fast passes and baby switch off passes. If both, DH & I get FP's then we wouldn't need to do a baby switch off pass - right???


What if we only have one FP, can we get a baby switch off pass for the other one of us?

Combining FP and switch pass is an awesome way to maximize your FP options.

So if it is just you, dh and baby then only get one FP per attraction. The switch pass works like a FP because the second rider either goes through the FP line or the exit que.

If you have an older child then the child can ride twice.

Dangermouse, I have a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old.

My 4 yr old is 40" tall so he will be able to do most of the rides. So for SM should I just get 1 FP and ds will be able to come along or do I need a FP for him too? He will obviosly have his own park ticket.

For Indie, DH and I will go but DS isn't tall enough. In that case, I should just get one FP and then do the baby switch - correct? When you do the baby switch, do they give you a pass or something?

To get the switch pass you will need to go to the CM at the front of the que and show which parent is staying off with the baby or child who is too small. The CM will hand the non-rider the colored piece of paper which can be used at any time during that day for that particular ride. The CM will also tell you where to use the pass (FP line or Exit que).

Your 4 year old will need his own FP. So for any ride he wants to do, get two FP and one switch pass. Your son will get to go twice since the switch pass entitles the holder plus one guest to ride.

If it's just you and DH trading off, then yes, just get one FP and one switch pass.

Thank you! So we can go get 1 FP to Indie then go get 2 more to SM and we will be set!! How great!!
