Use Fast Pass and Parent Swap in Conjunction.. Depending on the Ride, Double the Fun
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talking to a Grandma handling the reservation line, and she confirmed this tip. If both parents get a Fast Pass and a Parent Swap pass, it can be used in conjunction.. so the following strategy she has used in the past for attractions at Disney World, and I will give it a shot when we arrive this December.
Scenario One..
Both parents obtain Fast Passes.. and both parents obtain a Parent Swap Pass. First parent goes in and rides the attraction, comes out and hands over a Parent Swap Ticket.. the second parent goes in and rides the attraction. The second parent comes out and goes in again with the fast pass, comes out hands over to the first parent a parent swap ticket. The first parent goes in and rides the attraction. Result.. 4 fast pass rides instead of 2.
Scenario Two..
Since only one Fast Pass can be obtained by each individual, maybe it would be more worthwhile if each parent obtains a fast pass to two different attractions. Attraction "A" the first parent obtains fast pass, goes in, rides, comes out and hand Parent Swap Pass to second parent.. second parent goes in and rides Attraction "A".
Then the second Parent rides via fast pass Attraction "B", comes out, hands a Parent Swap Ticket to first parent, and goes in and rides Attraction "B". Result.. 4 fast pass rides instead of 2.
Scenario Three..
I heard that if there is a child who qualifies by height depending on the attraction, the child can accompany both parents each time they go on these rides. This is subject to verification. We have a one year old accompanying us who won't qualify for anything.. so this strategy has just recently surfaced for us, because of our family situation.
EDIT: Scenario Four..
Does anyone know if Disney World hands out parent swap tickets for those in the handicapped line? If so, the benefits may accentuate.. For example, with a small child, a parent will have to wait on the sidelines, as the handicapped party goes thru. So a parent swap ticket is handed out to the parent who's babysitting when the party comes out, so that the parent babysitting can go in and enjoy the attraction.
