Hi Nicole! I’m so happy to welcome you to planDisney. You’ll be visiting during one of the most exciting times of the year. The holiday season brings even more magic to Walt Disney World Resort, so I know you will have an absolutely unforgettable vacation!
Rider Switch is a wonderful option that makes traveling with little ones so much easier! I used it often when my kids were too small to ride the “big kid” attractions. When you arrive at an attraction that your toddler is unable to ride, let the Cast Member at the entrance know you’d like to use the Rider Switch. They will give you instructions on how to proceed for that attraction. The first party will get in line for the ride, which should be the larger of the two parties. Then when that party finishes riding, the adult who stayed with the toddler will be able to ride with one other Guest. Unfortunately, that means both big kids won’t be able to ride a second time. I know that isn’t the news you were hoping for, but perhaps they can work out a deal to decide how to divide up and share those bonus rides!
Be sure to also check out these great tips on
fun experiences for younger kids at Walt Disney World. Also, don’t miss the
Baby Care Centers. There is one in each of the four theme parks, and they are so helpful for parents of not only infants but any young children. They are quiet places for changing diapers, taking a break, and using the potty in a more private setting. The Baby Care Centers were absolute lifesavers for me when my kids were little!
Nicole, I hope this helps you plan for a visit that is
practically perfect in every way for all of your kiddos! If you have any more questions, be sure to
come back and see me. I’m always here to help add a little extra pixie dust to your Disney vacation planning!
See you on Main Street,
Casey
