Disney Single Rider Lines: Disneyland and Disney World Rides That Have Them

Updated: May 2026

Single rider lines are one of the few Disney time-saving tricks that still feel almost old-fashioned. No paid upgrade. No app race at 7 a.m. No complicated return-window strategy. Just a separate line for guests willing to ride alone so Disney can fill empty seats.

The catch is that single rider is limited, inconsistent, and not always faster. Disney offers it only on select attractions, and even then it is subject to availability. You may be separated from your group, you may not get your preferred seat or role, and you should not assume it will be open all day.

This guide focuses on the current official single rider options at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, plus a few practical notes on when single rider is actually worth using.

Quick Answer: Which Disney Rides Have Single Rider Lines?

Current official Disney single rider options include several rides at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. At Walt Disney World, Disney currently lists single rider for Expedition Everest, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Test Track. At Disneyland Resort, Disney currently lists single rider options including Matterhorn Bobsleds, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Radiator Springs Racers, Incredicoaster, Goofy’s Sky School, Grizzly River Run, WEB SLINGERS, and Soarin’ Over California.

Disney describes single rider as a way to fill remaining seats left by standby or Lightning Lane guests. Disney also warns that immediate boarding, seat choice, and special seating requests are not guaranteed, and that participating attractions and wait times may vary. Always check the app, attraction signage, or ask a Cast Member on the day of your visit. Walt Disney World single rider information / Disneyland single rider information

Disneyland Resort Single Rider Lines

Disneyland Resort currently lists single rider options at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. This is where the article needed the biggest cleanup: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Indiana Jones Adventure should no longer be treated as unofficial or missing from the list, because Disney currently lists them on its own single rider page.

Disneyland Park

Ride | Single Rider Notes
Matterhorn Bobsleds | A classic single rider use case because uneven parties can leave open seats
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run | Can reduce waits, but single riders may not get their preferred cockpit role
Space Mountain | Useful when available, though the actual time savings can vary
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure | Now officially listed by Disneyland as a single rider option
Indiana Jones Adventure | Now officially listed by Disneyland as a single rider option

Disney California Adventure

Ride | Single Rider Notes
Radiator Springs Racers | Often one of the most valuable single rider lines at Disneyland Resort
Incredicoaster | Can help when trains need odd-seat fillers
Goofy’s Sky School | Useful when available, especially for solo riders or repeat rides
Grizzly River Run | Wait savings vary by weather, demand, and operations
WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure | Can help reduce wait time, but groups will be split
Soarin’ Over California | Currently listed by Disneyland as a single rider option

Walt Disney World Single Rider Lines

Walt Disney World’s single rider lineup is limited, but it has changed enough that an old list can become misleading. Most importantly, Disney currently lists Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance as a single rider option at Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT currently has both Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Test Track.

EPCOT

Ride | Single Rider Notes
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure | A current official single rider option at EPCOT
Test Track | Historically one of the most useful single rider lines when operating

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Ride | Single Rider Notes
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run | Can reduce waits, but single riders may not get their preferred cockpit role
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance | Now listed by Disney as a single rider option at Walt Disney World
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets | Listed by Disney as a single rider option; check current status when refurbishments or operational changes occur

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Ride | Single Rider Notes
Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain | Often one of the better single rider choices when available

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is still the odd one out. Disney’s current Walt Disney World single rider page does not list any Magic Kingdom attractions with single rider service. If you are trying to save time at Magic Kingdom, you will need other strategies: arriving early, staying late, using Lightning Lane, or choosing lower-wait periods.

Single Rider Tips That Actually Matter

Expect to be split up. That is the whole point of the line.

Do not expect your preferred seat or role. Smugglers Run single riders, for example, may not get the cockpit role they wanted.

Check the app and the sign at the ride. Disney says availability and wait times may vary.

Ask a Cast Member. Single rider procedures can be operational and may not always be obvious from outside the queue.

Use it for repeat rides. Single rider is often best when you have already experienced the full queue or pre-show.

Do not use it with children who cannot ride separately. Single rider is not a family shortcut.

The Bottom Line on Disney Single Rider Lines

Disney single rider lines can be one of the best free ways to save time in the parks, but only if you understand the tradeoff. You may wait less, but you are giving up riding together, choosing your seat, and controlling exactly how the experience plays out.

For solo travelers, repeat riders, and adults who do not mind splitting up, single rider can be excellent. For families, first-time riders, or anyone who wants the full shared experience, it may not be the right tool.

The list also changes. Before counting on any single rider line, check Disney’s current app, attraction signage, or ask a Cast Member at the entrance.

Does Rise of the Resistance Have Single Rider?

At Walt Disney World, yes: Disney currently lists Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance as a single rider option at Hollywood Studios. That is a change from older advice that treated Rise single rider as unofficial or only occasional.

That does not mean you should build your entire day around it. Disney still says single rider service is subject to availability, immediate boarding is not guaranteed, and special seating requests may not be accommodated. Use it as a possible time-saver, not a promise.

At Disneyland Resort, Disney’s current single rider page does not list Rise of the Resistance among the official single rider attractions. Check the Disneyland app and attraction signage on the day of your visit if you are trying to confirm current operations.

Is Single Rider Better Than Lightning Lane?

Single rider and Lightning Lane solve different problems.

Single rider is free, but limited to a small number of attractions and requires your group to split up. Lightning Lane covers more attractions, but costs money and depends on availability, return times, and the specific system Disney is using at the time of your visit.

If you are traveling alone, repeating a thrill ride, or do not care about riding together, single rider can be a great tool. If you are visiting with kids, want to stay together, or are trying to manage a full day across many attractions, Lightning Lane may still be the more useful planning tool.
