Rider Switch at Animal Kingdom

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 rest of the party rides. Then the waiting adult rides without going back through the standby line, and one more person from the party can ride with them. Rider Switch is offered at most attractions with a height requirement, at no extra cost.
