Ideas for two yr old while we ride with......

Our 4 year old-we know about rider swap but wonder what other families have done while one part of family is on the ride.

It depends on the ride...if they're riding BTMR or Splash, we stay and play at the play area under the railroad. Space, we'll ride around on the people movers. At the exit of MS is a play area, kind of like McD's with tubes and such, we hide out here for TT too (air conditioning!!).

All of TinkerbelleMom's suggestions are good.

I just also wanted to note that we usually used FPs for the first group to ride. For most attractions it was only a 5-10 minute wait, so we really didn't need to do much to entertain our younger child. Often we would just relax, eat a snack, etc near the ride exit.

When DS5 was too little to ride some of the rides, we used that time for him to do character meet & greets. The older kids were happy because they were riding the big rides and DS was happy because he was meeting "the guys" as he calls them.

A lot of times, we would sit and relax and have a snack or walk through some shops (a/c!). Since a lot of times my older girls and husband were using fast passes to get on the ride, we would take the cross park walk to get a new set of fast passes. Depending on the wait or where the ride was, a few times we went on a ride my 2 y/o could ride on. We saved our rider swaps for later in the day since there is no time expiration on them.
