Good to know before you measure

Measuring your child

At home, measure without shoes for a conservative number. At the park, Cast Members measure at the ride and make the final call.

Rider Switch in three steps

With the whole group at the attraction entrance, tell a Cast Member you want to use Rider Switch.
The group splits in two: Party A rides first while Party B waits outside the queue; a Cast Member scans Party B’s tickets and says where to return.
After Party A rides, up to two people from Party B go to the return entrance, are rescanned and board without waiting.
