On this show we talk about the new Hollywood Nights we are so excited about and break down Rider Swap.

Rider Swap

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/rider-switch/

When would you use rider swap?

If you have a child that is too small to go on a ride, or you have a child that is a little fearful and wants to sit out on a ride.

Rider swap only works on certain rides, basically any with a height or age requirement.

I have a child that doesn't like Mickey and Minnies runaway railway and we would not be able to use rider swap with that since it doesn't have a height or age requirement.

How it works. First you need to set up the rider swap.

Outside of each attraction there is a cast member to facilitate the rider swap. If you are unsure where to go ask the cast members by the entrance to the ride they will help you.

The cast member will ask who is riding second. If you have 3 children and one is not riding you will only be able to pick one of your other children to ride with you. I cannot stand this rule. It used to not be this way, but with Genie+ they changed the rules.

If you have magicbands they will scan the bands of who is riding second and you go wait to the side or go get a snack or shop.

The rest of your party will go to the standby line to wait in the line. If you have genie+ you go through the lightning lane.

Once the first party has ridden you and the other person you are riding with will go through the lightning lane to ride the attraction.

Before we begin let's see how we did with our guesses for the dining plan.

QS $57.01 and $23.83

DDP $94.28 and $29.69

For both of these the child price went down.

Anna’s guess

• quick service $60 and $30 - Winner
• DDP $80 and kids $35

Leah

• $70 adult $35 child
• DDP $93 $40 - Winner

Christmas room discounts dropped and they are amazing! They also announced a new party which we are going to talk about before we do rider swap.

Jollywood Nights. I am going to read about it, but Tickets go from $159-$179 per person and these will sell out quickly! I will include a link to a video I found super helpful that gives all the information.
