Welcome to planDisney, Rachael! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. It's such a great idea to start thinking about how you're going to use both
Lightning Lane and
Rider Switch on your upcoming trip, and I'm happy to clarify exactly how they work so you can start solidifying your plans!
If you're planning to use Rider Switch with Lightning Lane, then yes, every adult who will eventually ride needs to have a Lightning Lane return time assigned to them. However, based on what you described, it sounds like you don't actually need Rider Switch in this case! Since neither of your children will be riding, each adult can simply redeem their Lightning Lane Single Pass when it's their turn to ride. Here's how it works:
- Each adult will book their Lightning Lane Single Pass return time for TRON Lightcycle / Run.
- One adult will stay with the children while the first adult rides using the Lightning Lane.
- When the first rider is done, the second adult can then redeem their own Lightning Lane Single Pass return time and ride next.
Rider Switch is usually most helpful when one adult wants to ride with an older child while another adult waits with a non-riding child, or if one of you will need to wait in the standby line to ride the attraction first. Since you're both riding separately without a child riding with you, Lightning Lane will work just fine without using Rider Switch.
I hope this helps, Rachael, and I hope you have an amazing time entering the Grid!
