Love fast pass and rider switch!

[LuLusApple]

We are here oh yea!!!!!
Anywy I read all about the fast pass system and I Have to tell you we rode so much today.
1st Fast pass SM
As soon as next available Splash
BTMRR
Indie
Now here's the best part there are 4 of us and one infant. So we got 4 passes.
To get a switch pass thru the fast pass you only need 2 (for our group of 4)
2 rode then switched with the 2 holding the baby. We got to go back again thru fast pass with the other 2 tickets!
We didn't have a wait time of more than 10 minutes all day!
Just thought I would share the joys of fast pass with a baby!

Too Cool!!

Yep, it's a great way to double-work the system. We did it a lot when our kids were younger. Now they're all tall enough to ride just about everything, which is fun too, but I miss the double-up fun of the FP/SP combo!

Ok, so can someone explain this in better detail as i would LOVE to take advantage of every line shortening opportunity.

We are going in may, we have two adults DW and myself, and four DD's ages 8,6,4,2. We are paying for three of them obiviously so we will have tickets to get fast passes. My oldest two are tall enough for most rides, but are still kinda scaredy cats, the hated Indy last year - although they are vehement that they will like it now along with SM, BTMRR, and MH. So if my wife and I want to take adavntage of this how should we do it. We will have one extra fast pass from the DD 4, for the big rides.

Any tips?

If you get fastpasses with your 4 tickets, you could ride Space Mountain, for example with your oldest daughter using 2 of the fastpasses. Ask the CM at the entrance to whatever ride it is for a child swap card (some people say the CM has had to see the younger child that can't ride to get this pass -- we have never had this experience). Then your wife and 6 year old could ride using the child swap card (in the case of Space Mountain you go through the exit to use the child swap card).

This will still leave you with 2 fastpasses to Space Mountain. You could repeat the same procedure and get to ride twice. Hope that makes sense!

Glad your having fun !! Good idea about the fast passes. We are headed there the end of the month and hope to use fast pass and pass off the baby too. Can we ride like this ... ? DH and DD1, Me wait w/ DD2, then DH wait w/ DD2 and me ride w/ DD1 ? Will they allow DD1 to ride 2 times in a row with the waiting parent ? LOL .. Hope that makes sense !!

Yes, it will work exactly like that with DD1 getting to ride twice.
