So had this happen to us yesterday. Arrived at Epcot and got FP+ for Soarin'. My wife was with us and we brought the baby. Obviosly the baby can't ride so I took my 5 year old on the ride using our FP+ reserved time while my wife stayed back with the baby and then we planned to get a swap pass so she and my 5 year old could ride again like we always do.
Fast forward to trying to get a swap pass... CM's at the entrance going in told us to get it from the CM's inside the dome getting off the ride (this happens sometimes so no big deal) but when we tried this, those CM's told us we can only get it from the CM's at the entrance to prevent abuse (which I totally understand and am cool with). We went back to the CMs at the entrance who were still the same ones as before getting on the ride and was told we couldn't get a baby swap pass because we used FP+ to ride. I asked the CM "so my wife has to ride solo?" His reply, "yes!" He said if you make reservations with a FP+ you can't baby swap anymore. I asked if this was new and he said they've been doing it this way for a long time. I reminded him FP+ has only been around a short time and he didn't like that. His fellow CM laughed at this which I thought was funny. My wife decided not to ride because she didn't want to ride alone.
Funny this is, we did the same thing for Mission:Space and had NO problems whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this? I know this is not the case and probably got someone in a crabby mood or who was having a bad day or new and didn't really understand everything, but come on! Really?
You can start bashing my post.... NOW!
