we r going next month, i am trying to mark down the rides i would like to hit first, but i am noticing age ranges for some track rides, like peter pans flight, and snow white, etc.
we have a little girl that will be 14 months when we go, do you think they will let her sit on the rides with me and my husband and my other kids?
my other two will be 4 and 2.5 yrs old

tia!!

There are no "age" restrictions. Some rides have height requirements that your 14 month old won't meet, but these are all "thriller" type rides. We took my 8 month old on everything- except the height restriction rides(he's now 5)... same with my DD- she was 6 months the first time she went and she went on all the rides that don't have height requirements.

Some the height restriction rides are: Barnstormer (35"), BTM, Splash, Space Mountain, Stitch, Soarin', Test Track, Mission Space, TT, RnR, Star Tours, EE, Dinosaur. She will be able to ride everything else on your lap (Peter Pan, Pooh, HM, etc) no problem.

Sure.
 
Usually , a baby can travel on any ride that does not have a height limit. (Although I don't recommend the tea cups if you've got attached to your baby! :rotfl2: ) Don't forget to utilise baby swap where possible.
 

i keep hearing about this baby swap thing, exactly how does this work?

Here is my version of parent/guardian swap (baby swap) 101:

My advice on baby swap is to tell the CM at the attraction before you enter the line that you want to use swap and find out how they handle it. Do not wait until you are boarding! The baby/child unable to ride must be with you to do a swap so everyone must approach the line together. Some CM's have you all wait the line together, then the first parent and older child(ren) ride and other parent and younger child wait at the exit and then switch via the exit allowing the older child(ren) to ride with both parents. Off hand I think only Star Tours and Primevil Whirl do it this way.

Most rides now give you a rider swap pass. The rider swap pass works like a fast pass and allows up to 3 people total to return to that attraction anytime that day so the second parent can ride. You still all enter the line and ask to use parent swap. The CM will give you the rider swap pass and the parent riding second and the baby can then leave to do something else while the first party rides. I prefer the pass because the baby or child that dosen't meet the height requirement dosen't have to wait the line for something he/she can't ride.

Babyswap is only offered on rides with a height restriction.

Just to clarify, the purpose of parent swap is to allow a family with a child who dosen't meet the height restriction to enjoy the attraction with only "1 wait", rather than "2 waits" not to expeidate the wait.
