- Just what is Rider Switch at Disneyland and how do I use it? Rider Switch is a fantastic service for parents and caretakers allowing them (and 2 members of the party) to wait with group members unable or unwilling to ride. In this video we break down the rules, which attractions offer it, if you qualify and how to utilize the program!

Can you do rider switch in the lightning lanes if you buy the genie plus?
Great question! Yes you can, but only on the rides it is offered on, so only on some of them. disneyland.disney.go.com/guest-services/rider-switch/
Wow! Exactly the video I needed! Weâve got a 5 and 1 year old so it looks like the one year old we be our ticket to shorter lines without the need of lighting lanes for genie plus!
Excellent! Thank you so much you guys âșïž
Love the information! Thank you, I have never heard of this!!
You are so welcome!
This video was so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
đthank you for this !!!
You are so welcome!
Fantastic video Disneyland Beat! Clever way of using Incredicoaster as an example for it, especially since in that attraction, Jack Jack canât ride it and Edna Mode has to watch over him. Keep up the magical work! đđâš
Thanks for this compliment, especially coming from a real animator!!!
Disneyland is the best theme park
100%
Thank you! My family goes end of December
Happy holidays!
Just got home, like the new intro. Question: Why were two of the main wheels under the Big Thunder R.R. steam locomotive removed? When the ride was new there were four main wheels under the loco and two smaller wheels under the cab, now there only two main wheels ""the ones to the front"" and the two small ones under the cab. Great watch with lots of information Thanks to the Disneyland Beat Team.......
Hi Mike Marin! Thanks! This is my off the top of my head recollection of that. I THINK it was the 2003 incident that led to a fatality on the ride. A bolt came undone and a lower wheel fell off during operation and the back of the engine came loose and airborne. Though it was blamed on maintenance, the brake system around the function that that rear wheel provided was changed after that to prevent it from happening again!
@@TheDisneylandBeat Thanks. My Kids say "how do you notice things like that" LOL
If we are 2 couples , and one couple has an infant , is it possible to do the ride switch between the couples for example , a couple wait at the line and play then after they are done they take the infant and the ather couple play
Maybe is the best answer I have. I think the best bet to make it work is everybody would wait in line and then mom would ride with one of the guests while dad, the other guest and the kiddo waited. Then dad would ride with the other guest I think that would be the best way to approach it.
Iâm a little bit out of touch on this because our kid is now 10 and rides everything :-) I would recommend if itâs in your budget to do the lightning Lane service that way two people can wait with the kid somewhere near the ride then after have a new group ride it while they hang out with the kiddos much more fun for your kiddo and they wonât have to wait in line as much
If I have 4 ILL tics for rise for my group of 4 (mom, dad, 14, 8). 8 doesnât wanna ride rise. Can I use rider swap? Mom and 14 in group a. Dad and 14 in group b.
Yes you should not have a problem 8 is too young to be left alone! Lucky 14 yr old!
I know this was a year ago..
Iâm traveling soon with my wife and son and 2 preteens 15 and 16. Are we still able to Ride with Party 1 with 2 teens and then switch to Party 2 with 2 teens again while we switch off our son?
Yes should be ok!
Can dad and the boy from a family 4 (mom, dad 1 boy and 1 girl) ride the attraction twice or mom and dad must swap to ride with the boy? Thanks!
Iâm a bit confused by the question so not sure how to answer. As long as there is a member of the party who doesnât want to ride and is too young to be left unsupervised, they will usually let it go. The main idea of the service is to make riding the ride possible for groups with little kids and not enough supervisors in the group to make taking turns happen. If they see your group could make it happen (has enough adults/older kids) without the service they may not allow it. Make sense?
Got it! Thank you so much!
So if Iâm with my partner my 6 year old and my one year old, could me and my 6 year old go on a ride while my partner minds the baby then use rider switch to let my partner and 6 year old go on the ride again while I mind the baby this time? Essentially my 6 year old gets to go on the ride twice once with me then straight away again with his mom ?
Precisely! Make sure to check in with a cast member at the big rides, they will be at the start of the lines minding 'lightning lane'!
This is a mix of Genie+ and rider switch question. If all of us have genie+, then can we book the same ride sched but split Party A to Party B? Scenario: X,Y,Z has genie+ linked to Z's disneyland app. Z booked space mountain for XYZ but Z's baby cannot ride so they are doing a riderswitch so only XY will ride first. At their return window, will the CM scan everyone's ticket even if only XY are riding first? Will Z be able to book a new genie+ ride while waiting for XY to come back?
In order to use a combination of Genie plus and rider switch everybodyâs ticket is going to need to get scanned when they ride not before. So only scan 2 tix. Then scan the third when itâs their turn. Itâs like waiting in lightning lane twice for âZâ
To clarify... If the kiddos are scared of dark rides but the adults love them, at least one of the adults would be out of luck OR they would have to take turns waiting in line?
Only the 20 rides we list at the end of the video offer rider switch. So with dark rides specifically, with the exception of Rise of The Resistance, yes. One saving grace, many of the dark rides do typically have shorter wait times.
Is this a new program that Disneyland has put out?
Its been around for a few years at least, but Im not sure when the program started. Used to be known as Rider Swap at WDW I think!
We used it when we went 10 years ago.
Wouldnât it be faster if two parents with an infant just use single rider. Say one parent goes into single rider after he gets off the other one gets in single rider instead of the one parent maybe waiting in line an hour by them self
Yes single rider would likely be faster I agree. But this accommodates groups with multiple kids!
Don Karnage is a pirate of mercy. He will let them go this time with a warning. Now retreat! No, they can't do this. They can't use my invention to create devastation like this without giving credit to me! Honest. I had nothing to do with this.
The background music in this video is so loud. I've can barely hear your advice. I'd really like to hear what you're saying so please turn down the music.
Thanks for the feedback.
