You’ve arrived in the theme parks and you get to an attraction that your child cannot ride, because they do not meet the height requirement. Thanks to Disney’s Rider Switch Service, also referred to as Baby Swap, all other members in your party can still experience the attraction.
How Rider Switch Service (Baby Swap) Works at Disney
1) Arrive at the attraction and find the Disney Cast Member near the entrance of the queue. Tell them that you would like to participate in a Rider Switch.
2) The Cast Member will then ask who is riding first and give the remaining members a pass, similar to a Fastpass.
3) The first riders get into the line and experience the attraction, while the other party members wait outside. (This is a great time to have a snack, walk around with the stroller, or change diapers!)
4) When the first riders return, the second group of riders waits outside with the child that doesn’t meet the height requirement, while the second set of riders experiences the attraction, with only a short wait in the Fastpass queue.
A Rider Switch Example
Dad, Mom, 6 year old, and 2 year old arrive at the Tower of Terror. They obtain a Rider Switch Pass from the Cast Member at the entrance of the queue. Dad takes the 6 year old on the attraction while mom browses the gift shop with the two year old. Dad and the 6 year old return from the attraction. Now, Mom is able to use the Rider Switch Service and enter Tower of Terror’s Fastpass queue. She doesn’t want to ride alone, so she brings the 6 year old, who gets to ride twice! Dad now walks around with the 2 year old.
Where Can You Use Rider Switch?
Rider Switch services are available at all attractions with a height requirement throughout Walt Disney World.
