This Could Be The Best Disney World Ride For Single Riders

Single Rider lines can significantly shorten your wait times. Find out how my most recent Single Rider experience went.

Single Rider Line

Single rider lines are separate lines in select attractions for those traveling solo or those who don’t mind riding the attraction without the rest of their party. Basically, single riders get placed wherever there is a seat available.

Typically, the line is much shorter than the regular standby queue, which means less time waiting in line!

Attractions at Disney World that use Single Rider access include Expedition Everest, Test Track (under refurbishment), Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. Occasionally, Soarin’ and Rise of the Resistance offer a Single Rider Line as well.

Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run even tested out a modified Single Rider option, however, this option is now no longer available. We are crossing our fingers that it will eventually return.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Last November, we noticed that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure vehicles had new labeled seat numbers. You can read more about that HERE.

Since Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure first opened in 2021, Guests have noticed a single rider sign located at this attraction. Unfortunately, it was never used.

With the ride vehicle seats clearly labeled, it was speculated at that time that Disney was moving towards finally offering this attraction with a Single Rider option.

Single Rider Option Open

On Monday, November 18, 2024, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened to welcome Single Rider Guests. When the Single Rider line opened, it was reported that it was only in its test phase and could close at any time.

The Single Rider line has remained open since November 18, 2024.

Unlike Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run with its modified single rider testing, the testing for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure never closed. It is safe to assume that Disney felt this Single Rider line was effective in getting more Guests onto the attraction in a shorter amount of time.

Getting in Line

Last week, I visited EPCOT and finally got to try out the Single Rider option at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. It was a rainy day, but lines throughout the park were still long. Remy had been averaging a 50-70 minute wait throughout the day.

When you arrive at the attraction there are three lines you can join. The Lightning Lane entrance, the Standby Entrance, and the Single Rider entrance.

Like other Single Rider entrances, it can close. The Single Rider lines tend to close when the Single Rider line gets exceptionally long, at Early Entry, at the end of the day, or if crowd levels are low. It is also important to note that the Single Rider line does not guarantee a shorter wait, and the wait could be as long or longer than the Standby entrance.

The Wait

When I entered the Single Rider line, I was just about at the first archway. Even though parties were told they would be separated, many groups got in the Single Rider line together.

As I had previously shared, the Standby line had averaged 50-70 minutes throughout the day and was about the same when I entered the Single Rider queue.

The line did not constantly move, however I never felt that I stood in one place for too long. Compared to the Standby entrance for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure the actual queue length for the Single Rider line is very short.

Any guesses as to how long it took me to get onto the actual ride vehicle? It took 23 minutes from when I entered the queue to when I got onto the ride! Unfortunately, there is no guarantee on how long your wait will be when utilizing the Single Rider option, and the wait time for the Single Rider entrance is never posted!

Why This Ride is Perfect for Single Riders

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is probably the best ride for single riders. Why you ask? It is perfect because of the vehicle’s ride design.

Most parties get into lines for attraction in even groups. Most groups tend to be around two or four people. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride vehicles seat six Guests.

With most parties being two to four guests this leaves one to two seats available in almost every ride vehicle! This Single Rider line has the possibility to move very fast.

Final Thoughts

Personally, I love it when Disney offers a Single Rider line. These rides let me quickly ride an attraction and then rejoin with my party. My family is not always thrill seekers, so this works perfectly when we are touring a park.

This ride is definitely not a thrill ride, but still, a fun one for single riders to be able to breeze through the line a little faster. If parties are willing (and old enough) to ride separately, this is a great way to experience this attraction. Anything to make waiting in line a little shorter is a good thing!

Single Riders – All groups will be separated and assigned different vehicles

It is important to note that YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM YOUR PARTY when using the Single Rider line. There are signs warning Guests that they will be separated. Please do not join the Single Rider line hoping to ride with your party.

Because of the ride vehicle’s design, there is a possibility of being in the same ride vehicle as someone in your party, but it is never guaranteed. I am excited that they opened the Single Rider line and hope it is here to stay!
