Quick: Baby Swap with three people

[Meredith'sMom]

Hi again!

My Mom, DH, and I will be heading to Disney on Sunday ( ) with our 7 1/2 mo. DD. I seem to think I read somewhere that the baby swap can work with three people as well? Is this correct? We'd all stand in line together, then two would ride while one stayed with the baby, then one would get off the ride and two would ride again (some lucky person going twice).

Anyone know if I have this right?

Thanks so much!

Hi!

That is correct!

Have a great time!

Yes, that's true. One person can ride twice so that nobody has to ride alone.

Thank you very much!

I suspect I may be the lucky second rider since my mom and husband will both want to ride with me. Woo-hoo! However, the baby also prefers me and is at the height of separation anxiety, so we'll see...

It's actually better than that.
If you tell the CM at the front of the line what you are doing, Baby Swap, he/she will give you (or whoever is left out with the baby) a ticket so you don't have to lug the baby through the winding lines.
I usually check out the shops or find a shady place while my party is waiting in line.
Depending on the ride you can wait at the ride exit for your family and they do the switch there.
At least that's what they used to do, this might have changed.
Our last trip down we did all our baby swaps with fast passes as well.
If you're doing the fast pass in addition to the baby swap you are still given a special ticket, once your party comes out of the ride you and two others enter via the fastpass entrance.
I always ask the CM on duty what we're supposed to do.
It varies slightly depending on the ride.

I wouldn't have ever gone to Disney with a baby if they didn't have this great idea!

With the baby swap, I believe the person can take up to 2 additional people with them, so there shouldn't be any problems. I have 4 kids (10, 8, 6 & 4), so we've done the swapping quite a bit until recently--our youngest is finally tall enough for most rides.

When we've done the swap, I've taken the older kids, then DH will go on with a couple of them if they want to repeat the ride. The CMs are usually pretty used to the baby swap, so you shouldn't run into any problems.
