What is Rider Switch at Disneyland & How Do I Use It?

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!

We are missing you from the Disneyland Beat family, subscribe! We have lots more to come!!!🥁🥁🥁

Can you do rider switch in the lightning lanes if you buy the genie plus?

[theallknighters]

Wow! Exactly the video I needed! We’ve 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!

Fantastic video Disneyland Beat! Clever way of using Incredicoaster as an example for it, especially since in that attraction, Jack Jack can’t ride it and Edna Mode has to watch over him. Keep up the magical work! 😃👍✨

Thank you! My family goes end of December

[willuff]

[stacyloertscher]

Excellent! Thank you so much you guys ☺️

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

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

[haleyanne]

Is this a new program that Disneyland has put out?

If I have 4 ILL tics for rise for my group of 4 (mom, dad, 14, 8). 8 doesn’t wanna ride rise. Can I use rider swap? Mom and 14 in group a. Dad and 14 in group b.

[ningj]

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!

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?

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?

I know this was a year ago..
I’m 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?

[JDtheOG]

So if I’m 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 ?

[matthewd]

Wouldn’t 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

[MrJimmy]

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.
