Of course, this is just my advice, and of course, the final decision is left up to you, the parent who knows the kid :)

Unless your daughter likes the dark and loud noises avoid Dinosaur. It's a little scary even for bigger people. It does involve a lot of darkness, some strobe lights, a LOT of bumps, and even a realistic dinosaur that looks like it's chasing your jeep...

Is your daughter into thrill rides? Tower of Terror at MGM is all freefall. It's also kinda high in the air. If you do choose to ride it, when the queue splits in two in the basement go to the right. The view of the ground is obstructed a bit more by the "Hollywood Tower Hotel" sign on the front.

Rock'n Roller Coaster is very fast and is one of the most thrilling rides at WDW. There are no sudden drops or anything like that, just loud (but good!) music and 3 or 4 inversions.

Space Mountain should be okay for your little one. Most younger folks I see getting off the ride are smiling from ear to ear and back. :)

As for a parent swap thing? Yes. There is a Baby Swap. Don't let the name fool you, it can actually be used for any age person who doesn't want to ride. The way it works is one person rides (with one guest with them) while the other "grown up" waits off the ride. The riding party gets a ticket to let the other "grown up" go through the FASTPASS line with the same other person who rode with the first grown-up while the little one waits with the other grown-up...

Geeze... I hope that made sense! If it didn't, feel free to drop me a private message or an e-mail... I'm sure somebody else will come along to explain it better though!

Good luck with planning the rest of your trip!
