The future of Rider Swap?

[whiporee]

I don't know whether this is just cute or part of an overall strategy, but it sure feels clever to me.

If your child isn’t quite tall enough to ride Dinosaur at @WDWToday, you’ll receive this “Future Time Traveler” card. With this you’ll be able to use the FastPass line once your child has reached the 40-inch height requirement. – at Dinosaur

Those have existed for years.

Don't know if Disney still does it, but I know they did at one time.

These have been given out at various attractions for years.

I have one from Test Track. I didn't know they let you in the FP line. Is that true? What about the rest of your party? Ours is quite dog eared, because after the attempt to ride that she wasn't tall enough to ride, she has been too scared to try on the couple trips since!

We got a nice certificate about 25 years ago ... still have copy.

This was pre-FP so they took us to the end of the ride and we got in on the exit side of boat.

It was always a nice way to cheer up disappointed kids.

I don't see how it would impact child swap.

But I would not be surprised if the swap program was revamped.

DS got one at Space Mountain years ago. I don't think we ever tried redeeming it once he was tall enough, though.

In the past year, DS got one for 7DMT. We were told the whole family can use it via the FP+ line when he’s tall enough.

My eldest was given one girl Mission Space when he was 2, he was upset when my husband went off to go on it, and a cast member spotted and gave it to us to try and cheer him up (not that it worked on a 2 year old!)

He did Mission Space for the first time last month age 9, but I have no idea what we did with the fastpass!

Years ago when my sister was a kid she got to the front of the line for Test Track and she was too scared to ride. She received a certificate to come back when she was ready to ride. I think this was shortly after FP started and I think TT was open for about a year at the time.

We got one for 7DMT last August when my 2 year old was 37 3/4 inches. I was hoping it would work as a FP but wasn’t sure.
