Single Rider / Child Swap

[Dannatt Family]

For our next trip, I am trying to put together a list of rides that have single rider lines and child swap available

Does anyone have a definate list of which rides these options are available?

Having checked a few web sites, some seem to contradict each other and i am not sure which ones to trust

Thanks

I used rider swap this April. I think its offered on all rides, you have to ask the CM at the enterance to see what the policy is. On some rides got a piece of paper like a fast pass to bring for our return trip (which was dated for that week not that day) The rides we did use it on...
Test Track
Soarin
Star Wars
Big thunder Mountain
Primevil whirl
Some others but memory fails right now.

Things I forgot....

The rider swap pass can be used anytime, right then or at some time that works better for you. We used this to our advantage and between that and fastpasses the kids rode soarin 4 time in 1 1/2 hours.
The rider swap lets the second adult ride with up to 2 kids.

For Star wars I sat right outside the ride on benches with the baby and then traded with hubby after the first ride.

I worked off the principal that if the ride had a height restriction then we asked for a rider swap.

The only problem we had was on Sorin where the CM wanted to see our 7 mth old who was asleep in her buggy upstairs as buggys aren't allowed into the complex but it was ok to bring her into the aircon seated bit upstairs. I explained to him that I wasn't going to wake her and he could get CM to check upstairs if he wanted and reluctantly he gave me the swap. I was on my own and it was obvious that I wouldn't be in my own if my DH could be there!

Found the whole thing really great and anytime the little one fell aslep DH and I rode the big rides - we missed nothing!

Can understand that, especially on something like Soarin' where fast passes can run out very early, as people could just say that and get on twice, tho the CM could have had more tact about him

Yep - totally agree and we understood all the rules but was a wee bit embarrassing! All he needed to do was ask the CM standing beside my DH to OK it for him as we could see the balcony from the entrance to Soarin.

Anyway - all worked out great and fab ride!

Yep, that's what i was getting at, a bit of tact on the CM's behalf could have avoided the embarassment

Just wanted to add - not sure what your situation is eg. ours were riders switches for just 2 adults and we found that some rides eg test track and rock in roller coaster in DHS had single rider lines and these were better than the fast passes and I am sure we were able to get switch passes too and use them later if not at the time.

I am planning on using them again next week if they are open, even though the in laws will be there as not too worried about who I sit beside if it takes nearly all the waiting out of it! Just a thought... if it helps.
