Riderswap issue today at SDMT

[mesaboy2]

Agree. Or the fact that if you ride a ride your kids can't ride you're a bad parent or something. Sometimes small kids like to spend some time at a playground, baby center, multiple "kid' rides, splash pad, or diversion. Why not use the time for one parent to try out a ride?

Many of those rides you would need a FP+ for have a single rider line anyway that gets you there just as fast.

There are only 3 SR queues in use at WDW.

There are very easy things they can do to keep the spirit of the program intact while tightening it up a bit....add it electronically to your ticket/band, only one at a time, they expire at the end of the day.

I am sure they will do this if they feel that the usage is getting out of hand and gumming up the works.

Remember the guy on here who bragged that he had 25 FPs in one day and it turned out he collected RSs all week?

Here is the thread about the guy who rode 25 rides in a day by collecting RSs

Guys guys ... I read a thread about a group that said they were late for their flight and somehow were allowed to cut the entire FOP line and then laugh and drink about it later. Can't we be upset at like ... REAL issues at Disney before we try to solve the RS issue?

Yes, we certainly 'do' know!! We had two (3 years apart) before RS was available, and do you know what? We rode separately!! I'll repeat, having a young child that can't ride does not/should not give anyone the right to pull in others that aren't waiting, to ride!! Wait together, in SB line, or FP together to get RS, period!!

I really do believe that is/was the intended use of RS, and of course, there are those that will always find the loop holes, and then whine when they're closed!

1. Sorry, but you cannot wait together with a child who is too short. It's against Disney's rules and they will not ever let someone too short into the queue.

2. If RS is only meant for standby, why would WDW have RS lanyards at all the FP entrances?

Because Disney’s rules and description of Rider Swap/Switch have been referenced a number of times and because no one else has reported the same experience as the OP, DISers should proceed with their park plans, whatever they may be.
