Single Rider line and height requirement?? About This Page:

[B.M.]

When we go in November, there are a few rides that my 8 (turning 9 at trip) daughter will be riding alone. She wants to ride all the thrill rides! Her brothers arent into the thrill rides and I would love to ride, but have a three yr old that will be too short for some of the rides. Sooooo-- When possible, she will use the single rider line; but will they let us still wait in line with her?? And even though my 3 yr old will be too short (I know they measure at the begening of the lines) will they let him enter the line with us when I explain that we are just waiting w/ my daughter?? There is no way I would put her in line alone........... we just want to wait with her, and then exit........... The rides that we will be doing this on are RRC, Expedition Everest, Space Mountain, and a few more probably.....

I don't have an answer for you but want to wish you luck.

Nope, no one under the height requirement is allowed in the line....we found this out when I went to wait with DH and kids in the Splash Mountain ride. They actually pulled us out and made DH and two older kis go back to the end of the line (we weren't that ar in yet or I would have made a big ole stink! Turns out the CM who was working the front of the line was "distracted" talking to someone and didn't even see us walk by, she should have stopped us there and explained it to us.

Thanks for the info, even though it wasn't what I was hoping to hear (lol). Atleast we no know in advance, so we can try to think of a plan............

Are either of her brothers tall enough to ride, therefore they can walk in with her and just go to the exit when they get to the front of the line.

Or are they old enough to watch the 3 year old for you?

My oldest is 12; I'm sure he would be fine watching the three year old for brief periods- but I will probably end up just asking him to stand in line with my daughter for the rides............ Everyone except the 3 yr old is tall enough to enter the line (and ride if they wanted) and even the 3 yr old is 40', so it will only be a problem at a few rides. I think I would be comfortable letting my 12 yr old wait in line w/her and meet them at the exit- we will just have to see how it plays out when were there....

That's probably a good solution B. Good luck.

I hope she enjoys riding!

When we went last year, our DD12 and DS10 went on several rides without us. They did BTMRR and RRC. We used FPs so they didn't have to wait long. We always met them at the exit. We had no problems and it was a great way for them to ride again without us having to go.

We will be there ate the same time. If we meet up at any point in one of the parks, I'm sure my DD (14 then) would be willing to wait in line with her or go on the ride with her. She would also be more than welcome to go on the rides with us if we are all in the parks at the same time. DD won't do RnR but I love it. I won't do Splash but DD loves it. LOL So maybe if we have a PP meet your DD won't have to go on alone.

I'm sure my daughter would love a ride buddy; we will have to compare itenararies once the November hours come out!

I would think that you could all stand in the line, as that is what you do for Child swap. Doesn't everyone wait in the line until its time to swap at the ride? If there is no FP line for you to go to. I would just tell the CM at the start of he line that that you are walking the 9 yr old to the ride. I can't imagine that it would be an issue since you are not trying to let the height restricted child ride.

You do not all wait in line for Chilp Swap...th proceedure goes like this...
- You approach the 1st cast member you see(usually waiting at the enttrance to the queue.) Inform them that you would like to child swap.
- they will allow parent # 1 to enter the line. Parent #2 is given a Rider Switch Pass (looks just like a FP but has the date in big bold letters an says "Valid for one use. Valid for up to three guests at "attraction name here")
-Parent #2 waits outside the attraction until parent #1 returns
- Parent #2 then presents Rider Switch Pass and is allowed into the FP line.

(I thought everyone waited in line too, until we got stopped at Splash Mountain (the first ride we were switching at) and theyexplained the proceedure. It worked super once we knew what to do and the older two kids were able to ride everything twice in a row! )
