Grandpa FastPass+ And Rider swap-HELP NEEDED!!!

[Kelspea]

Good Morning! Going to Disney 2nd week of March (Spring Break)!!!
My family and I are traveling via RV. Party of 7 including 1 grandma, grandpa, uncle and 7 and 5 year old.

My question is this. I'm trying to schedule the FastPass+ for everyone the grandpa is 78 years old and really won't be riding any rides. The 5 year old doesn't do "roller coaster" as of yet. The 7 year old is an adventure rider!

Currently the grandma, uncle, mom, dad and 7 year old are scheduled for Seven Dwarfs, Big Thunder, and Splash Mountain

Grandpa and 5 year old are scheduled for Enchanted Tales with Belle, Peter Pan and Meet Ana and Elsa.

If my 7 year old wants to meet Anna and Elsa (which I know Grandpa does not care too) can she use his band as a fastpass?

If Grandpa doesn't want to do Peterpan, can another adult use his arm band?


Or should my 7 year old do all the grandpa and 5 year old fastpasses and then rider swap when we do the Big Rides?

If only 1 person does not have a fastpass for the ride will they let them ride?

If my 7 and 5 year old have fastpasses for something like meet Anna and Elsa...can hubby and I go without fastpasses?

Sorry for so many questions! Just trying to figure the best schedule...Help is greatly appreciated!

Grandpa can take off his band and anyone can put it on and use it.

Yes, the 7-year-old can use grandpa's pass. However, everyone in the line needs to have a fastpass (so neither you nor your husband could go unless you get your own fastpass). And the 7-year-old cannot take the 5-year-old. Anyone under 7, must be accompanied by someone over 14.

If Grandpa doesn't want to do Peterpan, can another adult use his arm band?

They can ride - but only through the standby line. Everyone in the fastpass line needs to have a fastpass.

Yes.

Yes.

They shouldn't, but they might. It's always safer to have a FP then to hope a

CM will break the rules.

If my 7 and 5 year old have fastpasses for something like meet Anna and Elsa...can hubby and I go without fastpasses?

No. Everyone has to have a FP to get in line.

I have a question: will Kelspea's 7 year-old and 5 year-old be allowed in the A&E FP line without an adult accompanying them?

No. The 7-year-old would be okay, but couldn't take the 5-year-old.

Please supervise your children at all times. Guests under age 14 must be accompanied by a Guest age 14 or older to enter the Park. To board an attraction, children under age 7 must be accompanied by a person age 14 years or older.

Thanks, SirDuff, for confirming.

Kelspea: if the 5 year-old is too short for the big kid rides, then do Rider Swap as it will provide additional rides.

For A&E: with the FPs you have, only one adult and the 5 year-old will be able to meet A&E using FPs.

...the grandpa is 78 years old and really won't be riding any rides. The 5 year old doesn't do "roller coaster" as of yet. The 7 year old is an adventure rider!

Just want ot make sure you've talked to this particular 78 year old, to see if HE doesn't want to ride rides. Because there are plenty of thrill-loving people of that age or older, so I want to make sure you aren't just assuming.

As for Mine Train, it's hardly a coaster. More of a faster "dark ride", really. And the smoothest ride I've personally ever been on. Total snooze-fest IMO, but smooth, that's for sure. Both males not scheduled for it might very well enjoy it.
