I wanted to post the response I got from Disney regarding rider swap and Fastpass+. This is simply to provide additional information to families planning their Fastpass+ selections. I’m not trying to get into a debate on the issue. I hope this information helps others with planning, I know it helps me...
Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort!
Rider Switch is available at select attractions at all four Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks. With Rider Switch, if a child does not meet the height requirement or a Guest does not wish to board a particular attraction, one adult can wait with the non-rider (or riders) while the rest of the party enjoys the attraction. When the other adult returns, they can supervise the non-riding Guests, and the waiting adult can board the attraction without having to wait in the regular line again! Upon arrival at the participating attraction, please speak to the Attraction Host or Hostess for assistance.
Please note, that each Guest wishing to use Rider Switch through the FastPass+ line must have a FastPass+ selection otherwise they would not be eligible to have been in the line for a Rider Switch. You may be pleased to know that typically it is not needed to use Rider Switch when you have a FastPass+, as you have an hour to redeem a selection.
For additional information and list of attractions, please visit, Rider Switch. Please note, attractions are subject to change without notice.
If you have any other questions or challenges, please do not hesitate to contact us by calling us at 407-W-DISNEY (407-934-7639) or by chatting with us in the Help Center of the Walt Disney World® website. Cast Members will be happy to assist you further.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
