Rider Swap Return - Current Procedures

[lifebybethany]

I'm aware of how rider swap worked pre-pandemic that the second adult would be given a specific hour to return, but I just listened to a trip report from Disney World and it sounded like they were coming back anytime in that day afterwards and the app gave a seemingly random time- anyone have any current experience in Disneyland?

Thanks!

Just did a rider swap at Guardians of the Galaxy at DCA today, as my youngest refused to go.

First my wife went with the two oldest and when they were done, right after my two oldest went with me. So basically, my two oldest like it, since they did the ride back to back (once with my wife and then once with me).

What are the details of the process to go about getting a return time for the 2nd group? In the past you could return later that day. Then they changed it so that you had to return in about an hour. How is it done now?

We only did Rider Swap for GotG today and it was back to back elevator trips.

Cast Member was nice to allow my son to "push" the buttons and select the speed to give him something to do since he wasn't riding.

Did they give you a return time in the app?

Rider Swap is the same as before. You can return at any time but you can only hold one rider swap pass at a time per ticket; and can return with up to two additional people. So if you get a new one before redeeming an old one it will override it.

Thanks! I didn’t know it had changed since our last trip. We quit trying to use it because our kids couldn’t wait for two full cycles of the ride in a row.

Thanks all!
Just to get into the real nitty gritty, when the cast members scan the adult staying out's ticket, does that function as a pass for them plus two others or does the cast member scan the adult staying out AND the other two members' tickets?
