Change in Rider Swap? Any recent experience to validate?

[JPKnapp]

Many posts and my previous experience using rider swap was that the person who uses the Rider Swap ticket (aka the adult that waits outside) can take up to 2 additional guests so a total of 3 riders.

However, someone recently posted this link with Disney's formal policy which states that only 1 additional rider can go with rider swap ticket holder.

Does anyone have any recent experience to validate what CMs actually do? This drastically changes my FP and ride approach since we have 3 kids and only 2 are tall enough for rides. I dont want to have to pick which kid I get to experience the ride with.

The website has, IME, always been different than what the tickets in the park state. We used RS in DLR in November and it was for a total of 3 people. I know it's not wdw, but it was consistent with our previous experience at wdw also.

Nothing new - that's been there for years.

The website has been wrong for years.

I was at WDW last week and the rider switch pass allowed a total of 3 people to ride.

It's up to 3 guests for sure. My husband used one on space mountain on 2/4 and since our older son didn't want to re-ride, he invited a random dad and son who were about to enter the standby line to go with him.

We used RS in September 2015, the paper FP was for 3 people.
