Rider Switch

Written by: James Williams     Unfortunately, there are times that a guest may not be able to or want to ride a ride while others in the group do.  That's no problem because Disney has put in the "Rider Switch System" to make it easier for everyone to do the attractions they want.        Rider Switch is such a great tool if you have guests that may be too short, or maybe the ride is just a little too intimidating for them.  Please keep in mind that height requirements are put into place for the safety of the guest!

Our crazy hyperactive boys definitely wont cooperate with masks at all right? I mean, we’ve just kept them at home and took them to certain places(typically outside) so that they’ve been able to stay safe and healthy. My job even allows me to stay away from people so I don’t have to wear a mask.  Well, today we started training with the boys, and I must say, it has went WAY better than expected! As of rig...
