Hey there, Tawny - thank you so much for this question! It's certainly an important one because everyone who wants to ride
Radiator Springs Racers should get the chance! It's always a must-ride for our oldest who loves Lightning McQueen.
You are absolutely correct that you can use
Rider Switch on
Individual Lightning Lane rides like Radiator Springs Racers. You would just need to make sure that everyone who wants to ride has purchased an Individual Lightning Lane, and then be sure to let the Cast Member know at the entrance that you'd like to Rider Switch.
This can also be used with Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions as well, so make sure to check the
full list of attractions that offer Rider Switch so you can start planning! Just keep in mind that you'd need to purchase the
Genie+ service to access the Genie+ Lightning Lane feature.
If your five-year-old is as much of a fan of Cars as mine, note that the other two rides in
Cars Land -
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and
Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters - offer Rider Switch as well. Also, make sure to stick around Cars Land right around sunset for an amazing (and neon) surprise! There really is nothing like it.
Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, Tawny. Please feel free to
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions that I can help answer as you plan your trip to the
Disneyland Resort.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
