Crosspost: Baby swap equivalent for wheelchair?

[MemoriesintheMaking]

I posted the following on the DISabilities forum, and got some great opinions, but thought I'd post directly here on the DL forum as well. Thanks!!

I was reading a trip report about someone using the baby swap system and had a thought...has anyone found a similar option available at DL for groups with someone in a wheelchair? My brother is fairly independent in familiar surroundings, but we're not sure if we would be comfortable having him wait solo while we did the rides he wouldn't be up for. ("We" being both my brother and I - I don't want to come across as making decisions all on my own about what he would or would not prefer. )

He does love to people watch and enjoy soaking in his surroundings, so if the crowds weren't too crazy, a few minutes here or there would be something he would like, but I wouldn't want to leave him unattended throughout a long wait in a long line.

Anyway, I suppose my question is just if anyone has utilized a line swap in cases like this, so my dh and I wouldn't wind up waiting in the long lines twice.

Thanks for any tips you might have for us!

Oops, sorry, I read your question wrong! Hopefully someone knows...

Actually, it's called rider swap. It isn't only for "babies" or too-short riders. It's for everyone who needs to swap out. So yes, it's completely do-able.

Okay, well that does make sense! Thanks! I do remember now the term of rider swap, but it was escaping my memory before.

Using rider switch for people who aren't too short for the height requirement isn't an absolute situation. The CM doesn't have to do it.


Honestly I'd go to the Disabilities forum here on the Dis, and ask there. They might have really good ideas for you that we can't think of.
