Hi, I need some help on this I’m a bit confused on rider switch. So here’s the situation, I have a family of 3 going to animal kingdom in the beginning of Feb. Me, DH, and DD (5). It’s our first time there and DH and I want to ride FoP but couldn’t get a FP for it, so we’re planning on rope dropping. DD passes the height requirement but we think she might not want to ride so we want to do rider switch.
My understanding so far was that everyone has to be present at the beginning of the ride que but if child is too small or doesn’t want to ride, then parent1 goes thru and parent2+child sit out. Later parent2 can come back and go thru Fastpass line for their turn. Hope I got that right. If not, can someone straighten me out?
But on top of that I’ve also read other info that if a child passes the height requirement, they have to go with parents through the entire line and wait with a parent just right outside the boarding area while the first parent rides.
Our aim is to try to have DD wait as little as possible in line.
So 2 questions:
-Can we still get a rider switch pass even if DD passes the height requirement?
-And depending on that, Im confused on where exactly the ride que starts where we have to tell a CM we want a rider switch pass. Is it just at the end of the whole line mass or do we have to reach a certain point first?
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
