Hello all!
*Disclaimer: I know Rider Swap and Fastpasses can be controversial. I know some people think you should have a FP+ for each rider and I do respect your opinion (and perhaps that is the case now since I'm not familiar and if that is so please let me know ). But here, I'm more interested in just a straightforward answer to a specific question and going with what Disney actually allows rather than a debate =)
My husband and I go to Disney every year with our two kids (this year will be 3 & 5).
This year my parents are going. We are so excited!
Our kids are early risers. We have found what works for us is get to the park before opening, rides as well as 3 fastpasses in the morning, then lunch. Then we go back to the resort for the rest of the day so the kids can nap or play in the pool and sleep.
My parents want to go to the parks some days but kind of just want to play it by ear which is great. They don't want to buy tickets in advance. I've explained they might not be able to get the same FP's as us (which is fine) and will probably convince them to get at least a two day park ticket for fast passes but who knows.
So my question is actually related to Rider Swap. My fast pass options for MK for example are Buzz Lightyear, Splash Mountain, and Jungle Cruise. (I'm thinking I *might* be able to get them FP+ for at least some of these close to the same time (day of) since I've gotten FP's for these day of before but no I wouldn't count on it of course).
At least one of my kids is too scared for Splash (the other should be fine). Will my parents be able to ride with one of us using RS if I can't secure a FP+ for them? I'm trying to figure out how I will book FP+ and it's driving me crazy because I want them to ride stuff with us if they're there but don't know if they'll be there.
Any ideas or suggestions? Or any comments on rides they definitely will not be able to use a RS pass for if they don't have a FP+ for the ride?
Thanks in advance.
