Hi Tiffany!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. The
Rider Switch Service at Walt Disney World Resort is a great way for you and your husband to still partake in some thrills, while keeping your little mouseketeer safe and content!
It's great to use Rider Switch in conjuction with FastPass+ so you can really maximize your day! How this will work is you'll want to approach the queue for
Avatar Flight of Passage, or any attraction that offers Rider Switch, as an entire party and let the Cast Member know that you would like to utilize Rider Switch. They will scan your MagicBand and see that you have a FastPass+ as well as scan your husbands MagicBand and give him an entitlement to use the FastPass+ queue at a later time. You'll then take your turn flying on the back of a banshee while your husband can enjoy a Night Blossom from
Pongu Pongu. Once you've returned from your journey, your husband will have a return time to then board using the FastPass+ queue. So you are correct that you'll only need a FastPass+ reservation for one of you and you can use Rider Switch for the other!
I hope this helps in planning your day to
Pandora! Please come back and let us know if you have any other questions before your visit!
