IoA questions - Child Swap, Singles, Fast Pass, Lockers

1. When using child swap, do we have to put our bag in a locker with an adult being left behind to hold it?

2. In our situation, only one adult will be riding at a time with the help of child swap. Is it possible to use the single rider line AND child swap?

3. If we can do the swap AND singles at FJ, would it be faster to do that and then take the castle tour after? Is it true you miss a lot if you go Single on FJ?

4. If we are able to use Child Swap AND Single rider - how would Fastpass benefit us?

no you don't but you'll be asked a lot

2. In our situation, only one adult will be riding at a time with the help of child swap. Is it possible to use the single rider line AND child swap?

yes

3. If we can do the swap AND singles at FJ, would it be faster to do that and then take the castle tour after? Is it true you miss a lot if you go Single on FJ?

You do miss most of the queue in the single rider line. Taking the tour is a good idea

4. If we are able to use Child Swap AND Single rider - how would Fastpass benefit us? express pass is not available for FJ and Rip Ride Rockit

Hope that helps.

THANKS!

Since we can utilize both the Singles AND Child Swap, do you think its pointless to even mess with FP?

I think we can use at Seuss as a family, but I'm not so sure it's worth the extra $100 bucks or so if we can do the singles line....

Fast Pass = Disney and Express Plus Passes = Universal.

You don't need to purchase the express pass in advance anyways. Go and see if it is working fine for you. If you decide you want the express pass, purchase it inside the park.

You don't say when you are going, OP, so it is hard to gauge if there would be any value at all to Express Pass. Two of the rides with the longest lines don't accept it anyway, so depending on time of year/business, it probably isn't worth it. We have been in July using Express, and I definitely think it was well worth for that time frame and our group of 8 people, 6 of which rode nearly every thrill ride in the park. But we've also gone in off season with my kids, who are chickens of most of the coasters, and in those situations, I would not even consider express as there was minimal waits on everything anyway.

Thanks! We are going Thursday 5/31/12. Crowd calendars claim it to be moderate...I have a feeling it will be more. I'm tempted to just wing it and see on the Express Pass since we are doing minimal rides and plan to be there at RD. Biggest concern I had was lockers and the child swap/singles combo.

I would recommend waiting in the regular FJ queue line so you can experience everything (the tour line skips some neat parts), then do the single rider line if you want to ride again. Also, recently they have not been offering castle tours. So there's a chance that option might not be available when you visit.
