RIDER SWITCH QUESTION

[Barefoot On A Plane]

Is Rider Switch allowed because a child is too scared to do the ride or is it only allowed if the child does not meet height requirements?

I believe it is only if the height requirement is not met. You may have different results with different CMs, but I think that is the rule.

EDIT: It is not. The child can opt-out regardless of height and rider-swap can be used.

This is for Disney World, but I am sure the same applies. A lot of children are tall enough but not old enough to wait by themselves.

Ah, so it is. I think they used to be more strict about this.

"If a child does not meet the height requirement or a Guest does not wish to board a particular attraction...." So there should be no issues.

Rider Switch is available for Guests who meet one of the following:

• Does not meet the boarding requirements
• Has a service animal that cannot board the attraction or does not want to use a provided kennel
• Meets boarding requirement and does not want to ride but cannot wait outside queue on their own

I see it's been answered but also wanted to add quick note that's why the program is called Rider Switch and not 'child switch' or 'baby swap' etc....

It will work for anyone in your group so even if you have someone who just doesn't enjoy certain attractions you can take turns with others riding, and not leave them alone outside attraction which can take hour+ if long queue line.

Note it states (emphasis mine):

Meets boarding requirement and does not want to ride but cannot wait outside queue on their own

It isn’t intended for adults who don’t want to be alone.

Agree, if an adult doesn't want to ride and doesn't want to be alone they can take the chicken exit. (It's me, I'm the adult taking the exit at GotG:MB)
