"Our TouringPlans subscription was a lifesaver on our trip. One of the busiest days of the year, and we never waited longer than 20 minutes!"

Several attractions have minimum height or age requirements. Rider Switch (also called Rider Swap, Baby Swap, or Child Swap) allows members of a group to take turns riding such attractions while the rest of the group cares for the group's young non-riders. The first part of the group waits in line, but the second part of the group is able to ride after with a negligible wait. The result is that everyone is able to ride with only a slightly longer wait than if the entire group had all been able to ride at once.
See our Walt Disney World Resort Rider Switch page for details.
