What is a child swap at Disney?

Disneyland rider swap allows adult guests to take turns waiting with kids or other guests that are unable to ride attractions due to height requirements or other various reasons. This service gives the second adult in the group a special pass so they can ride without having to wait a second time.

Each ride and attraction has a family room where one member of your party can wait with the little ones while the rest of your party rides. Once they are finished, switch places so whoever rode can stay with the kids, and the adult(s) who sat out can enjoy the ride.

Guests entering any of the Disney World parks will be required to have at least one child with them to enter. Guests without a child will not be allowed to enter the parks. This is a way for Disney to encourage more families to visit the parks and get away from adults without kids filling up the parks.

After riding, they give their Parent Swap pass to the ride operator, and the other parent/guardian, who's been taking care of the little ones, can walk up the exit to get right on the ride.

Totally up to you to decide what you want to do. Disney doesn't consistently ask for proof of age for young kids, but they certainly can if they want to. I've heard reports of them innocently asking the child how old they are - which more often than not means you're busted! Your call if you want to take the chance.

You won't need to show any type of proof of age for your young child. When you're at the kiosk to scan your ticket to enter the Walt Disney World Theme Park and Mickey turns green allowing you in, you'll simply carry or walk your under the age of 3 child right along with you.

Courtney, Thanks for asking your question to planDisney! I have to say, if your 2-year-old already has a driver's license, I would be wildly impressed! No, Disney does not expect you to bring any proof of age for children under 3.

MORE DETAILS

Guests of Disney do not age during their visit, so your little one will remain his guest during your entire trip. You do not need to purchase a ticket or make park pass reservations for children under 3. However, you must include them in your Disney Resorts Collection hotel reservation and also all dining reservations.
