How does child switch work?

Offered at select attractions, Child Switch is an innovative program that allows you and your party to experience attractions that may not be suitable for younger members in your group. Simply designate a member of your group to stay with the child in the child switch area while the rest of your party waits in line.

What is it? Universal's Child Swap allows one adult to wait with any non-riders, while everyone else experiences the thrills. Once the other adult gets off the ride, they swap places and wait with the non-riders, while the waiting adult gets right on the attraction without having to wait in line.

Chance to ride twice Each time that the too-young-to-ride child waits on the rest of the group to ride, they only need 1 adult to stay with them. If the person in Group 2 waited alone, that person will be allowed to take one guest with them when it is their turn to ride using their Rider Switch.

Guests entering any of the Disney World parks will be required to have at least one child with them to enter. Guests without a child will not be allowed to enter the parks. This is a way for Disney to encourage more families to visit the parks and get away from adults without kids filling up the parks.

Bear in mind that Disneyland tickets are free for those under 3 years old. We went to Disneyland with a two-year-old Arlo, but it was just a week before his third birthday, which saved us a lot of money! Also, you don't have to prove the child is under three, so make of that what you will!

MORE DETAILS

The Rider Switch pass allows up to three guests entry to an attraction, so one adult can take an older child on the ride, then a second adult can take that same child again as part of the second group. (That is, the same child can be in both the first and second ride groups.)

Courtney, Thanks for asking your question to planDisney! I have to say, if your 2-year-old already has a driver's license, I would be wildly impressed! No, Disney does not expect you to bring any proof of age for children under 3.

You won't need to show any type of proof of age for your young child. When you're at the kiosk to scan your ticket to enter the Walt Disney World Theme Park and Mickey turns green allowing you in, you'll simply carry or walk your under the age of 3 child right along with you.
