Good Morning- is this still a thing? We will have a 4 year old and a 1 year old in our group of 11. All adults are riders! In all of our previous trips, we haven't dealth with this, so I'm wondering how others handle this? Maybe ride share isn't the appropriate term? As of now, we are planning to alternate who sits it out with one or both of them for certain attractions. As Grammy, it will probably be me most of the time, unfortunately LOL. Thank you for your thoughts.

Ride share is the term you use for Lyft/Uber.

You're talking about rider switch.
I would have half the party wait in the line and the other half wait with the kids and then you have the second half go on the ride while the first half waits with the kids. I would not just make you sit out on your favorite attractions.

That won't work for a party of 11 (9 adults). Only 2 can ride as "party 2" on a child swap.

@DerraZ -- the whole party should approach the CM at the attraction to request Rider Swap (Rider Switch, Child Swap -- all the same thing).
Most of the party will need to get in the queue as "party 1."
Up to 2 people can ride as "party 2" so 1 or 2 adults can wait with the children. They can wait wherever they want -- get a snack, restroom break, another ride, show, etc.
Once the first group returns, the last 2 can ride by entering the LL.
