Hi Erin! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
The
Rider Switch Service really comes in handy when you have little ones in the group who don't meet the boarding requirement of a popular Attraction. There's a convenient list of
Attractions with height requirements for both parks, which can help you plan when you might want to take advantage of this service. I'm happy to explain how this service works.
With Rider Switch, you'll divide into two groups led by an adult. The first group will wait with the little ones who aren't yet tall enough to ride. The second group will include your two taller children. Let the Cast Member know at the entrance to the Attraction that you'd like to use Rider Switch. The taller group will head in with their adult, while the first group waits outside nearby. When you're finished riding, the Cast Member will let your second adult ride. If you'd prefer each parent ride with a child, one taller child can be in the group that waits.
However, according to current rules, the second group can only be made up of 2 Guests, which means both parents can't ride with both kids. Talk to a friendly Cast Member at the entrance of the ride if you have any questions about how Rider Switch works with your sized group. They're always happy to assist.
There are plenty of Attractions your family can enjoy without any restrictions. Some of my family's favorites include "it's a small world" in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park, which offers some excitement for older kids.
I hope this helps!
Elizabeth
