Single parent child swap

[tigereye]

Heading to WDW in a couple of weeks. On rides where I've got a hesitant rider, does anyone know if I can child swap with my oldest (12) in the roll of the other "parent". IE, can I ride with my middle son while the oldest and youngest wait and then "swap" and let the oldest and middle ride without waiting in line again?

Thanks,

Mike

You may be misunderstanding the purpose of Baby Swap. It's meant to be used when a child is too small (doesn't meet the height requirements) to ride a particular ride. It's not for children who don't want to ride, even if their big enough. Now, it may all depend on the CM working the turnstiles, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

My friend has 4 kids and they are from 13 to 6 and her oldest has done the swap with her and has never had a CM tell her that she could not do it. Her DH doesn't do Disney so she goes with the kids.

It sounds fine to me - just let the cast member know your plans. 12 year olds can baby sit siblings, so why not?
