Rider Switch at Hollywood Studios

When your child can't ride due to height, ask for Rider Switch at the ride entrance. One adult waits with the child while the other rides. The waiting adult then gets to board with up to 3 guests without waiting in the standby line again. This is available on all height-restricted attractions at no extra cost.
