How to swap wives on select Disney rides?

[oufpat]

Being my divorced daughter has to co-parent with a man who hates her more then he loves his children, I applaud you for putting your daughter first.

Wait til ex-wife brings her new husband.

Thank you to all for the thoughtful responses. I haven't laughed out loud at a thread in a long time. This one has been fabulous.

I re-read the title three times...

Regardless of how this turns out... perhaps sell the film rights to Disney. Make some money for the next vacation... or sequel if the first does well enough...

I think maybe Flight of Passage is the only ride that might accommodate you. If I were you, I would try there first.

Off subject but what the heck, Riding the monorail with DS age 8, a family with 3 girls gets on. The father complimented my son's manners when he gave his seat to to one of the girls. I returned the compliment and told him his daughters were lovely. He offered to swap 3 girls for 1 boy. The girls in unison said DADDY! Dad humor you have to love it.

So basically you want to change the child swap for a wife swap? So the kid would get to ride 4 times without waiting? Unless you mean getting back in line and waiting all over again? But I highly doubt and CMs will let you get away with this

What about family swaps? There were several times where I would have ridden with the family behind me instead of mine.

My Dad was married and divorced 4 times. Will Disney waive the fees for my Annual Pass? I need them to accommodate my need to have a functioning, financially stable life. Or something.

But for real though. The better lesson for your kid is show how everyone can get along, take turns riding with her, and obey park rules because, even as a child of divorce, she's not anymore special than anyone else.

So here is the issue. My wife #1 and I had a friendly amicable divorce 2 years ago. We have joint custody of our 4 year old daughter Julia. I have since remarried, and wife #2 and I invited Julia's mom on our WDW trip to share expenses (we are all on a budget), and give Julia a great time with both moms. My wife and I will have a resort room and Julia and her mom will have a resort room.

So the plan is when we get to a ride boarding area that needs an accompanying adult, me and Julia ride alone for some daughter-dad time. Ex-wife and wife #2 wait on other side of boarding area. When ride returns ex-wife joins me and Julia to teach her we both support her and want to remain parents in good standing. When this ride returns to boarding area, ex-wife gets off and wife #2 boards ride with me and Julia - to give her the same type of togetherness as we always enjoy. When ride returns ex-wife takes Julia away from boarding area and me and wife #2 share the ride as a couple.

Will the cast members accommodate us? Or will they make us re-join the queue line for each time we ride?

I'm just wondering why you are being so selfish and riding 4 times, while the others in your party have to suffer. Heck, even your daughter only gets to enjoy it 3 times. Dad of the year, pfft..I think not.

Has ABC called you yet for a fall pilot?

This is more of a TLC/Discovery channel story line...maybe air it after my 600 pound life or Dr. Pimple Popper.

As someone who grew up with divorced parents and went on separate trips growing up, this is the best suggestion I’ve seen so far. I would have loved to have been able to go to WDW with my entire family at once as a child.

While I am lucky enough to have loving parents who are still married I have some friend who are doing a highly successful co-parent thing. I feel like this is something they would do. Put your own hangs up aside and really put the child first. I'm not saying give them everything or bend to their ever whim but parent together as if you were together.

Disney has never once assisted me in having a good time with all of my wives. Ended up getting kicked off of Peter Pan's Flight. Try Universal. Night of Joy is no longer an option.

Like another poster here said, how about the 3 or 4 of you or whatever your family number(Disneyworlddad or anyone else for that matter) simply ride at the same time?

This is exactly why planning a WDW vacation is such a laborious process.
How many fastpasses can we book 3 months or more out and then when we get there, how many times can we get our kid(s) to ride said fastpass ride (or not fastpass) multiple times in a row in order to minimize wait time in an overcrowded amusement park because we are paying X per person and that time is so valuable per hour that we need to plan extensively and get opinions from others as to what can basically be gotten away with.
There's planning a vacation and then there is nuttiness.

I imagine Joy wasn't very happy about the situation either.

No. It was really upsetting. I got kicked off PPF with Rosa and was like, "okay. Can I try again with Veronica? I can be better" and they were all like, "No, sir. In fact, you should leave the park." Now I'm only allowed in Epcot because they aren't in a position to send anyone away from there. Even the guys who snuck into River Country are still allowed at Epcot after 4 pm.

I need an update on how this situation worked out.
