Rider Swap and adults

[CaryHaven]

I know this has been answered before but can't find the exact situation.

Instead of getting the entire group a FP to Splash Mountain, I'm getting all but me one because I know I can use Rider Swap. I'm using my FP to take our little one to meet Cinderella. Ok, when my husband, sister, and the older kids ride Splash, and I've already gotten a swap when I present our little one, can I then ride with an adult who just used her FP? I'll be taking my daughter on as well for a second ride, but kind of wanted my husband or sister with me too. I know kids can ride twice, but didn't know if this was also good for adults.

Also: I'd planned on taking everyone on 7DMT but just measured our almost three year old, and she's an inch too short. If we all had fast passes to 7DMT, and I got a rider swap, we will all have ridden once (not counting the kids/adult who tags along with me for twice). Then if I use my FP and let my husband get a rider swap, we could theoretically all ride twice (three times for the kids/third adult). I think there's a limit of five people to accompany a swap ticket holder, but we would only have two kids and one adult to ride with me while the third watches the toddler. There's nothing wrong with this, is there? I wouldn't think so but want to make sure. Is this making sense to anyone? Disney math is exhausting.

Swap passes are only good for 3 guests total (so you and 2 others). It doesn't matter if they are kids or adults.

If you plan well you can ride twice. We booked our FP+ a few hours apart and then got swap passes to use later.

Not knowing the size of your party, it's pretty impossible to say if you can do it the way explained or not? How many kids are going? How many adult?/ Is one kid or are two kids too short to ride?

Sorry, thought I'd put it in already. Three adults, three kids (one of which who will be too short to ride 7DMT).

And thanks, Raenstoirm, for the visual. I could have sworn I read five people in an old post. Not that it matters for me, I'd only be taking three at most.

Want to make sure you realize the 3 guests includes the person with the rider swap pass. So the holder of the swap can take two guests through with them, not three.

I definitely didn't realize that. Thank you!

No problem! Disney referring to all of us visitors as guests can make for confusion at times.

I didn't think you'd be let in the FP line w/o a FP period even if you "present your little one" as your ticket to do a swap. If you don't have a FP you wait in the SB line. Or do these rules not apply if you are doing a child swap? Can someone w a FP take someone w/o a FP into the line to do a swap?

You don't enter the line to get a rider swap pass; you approach the ride with your entire party. Then you talk to CM to get a swap pass and the too-small/too-scared child departs with whoever is staying with them while the rest of your party now enters either SB or FP line depending on whether they have FPs.

Once they exit the ride and the entire party is back together, any three people can use the swap pass to enter the FP line at any point from then until the expiration of the swap pass (usually the end of the month).

I'm not sure how many times you can get a rider swap at one ride - so I'm not sure you can get two rider swaps at 7DMT.

We did last month. It was just my husband and I and our infant twins. We both had FP+. At the beginning of the window I went in with my FP+ and got him a swap. Towards the end of the window he went in with his FP+ and I got a swap pass. Later that night we both rode on our swap passes. We did the same thing with space mountain.
