Disney World Changes This Single-Rider Line Again
Walt Disney World has offered many changes to single-rider lines. Find out the newest change you need to know before your next Disney trip.
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, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run. Occasionally, Soarin' and Rise of the Resistance offer a Single Rider Line as well.
Expedition Everest Single Rider Removed
Earlier, we shared that Guests visiting Animal Kingdom reported that there was a change at Expedition Everest. Guests in the standby queue are being pre-sorted in the final holding room.
Cast Members instruct even-numbered parties to go left and odd-numbered parties to go right in the final holding room. Unfortunately, this also means that fewer Guests in the single-rider queue are now needed.
Recently, Guests noticed that the sign directing Guests to the single-rider queue line for Expedition Everest was missing.
Expedition Everest Single-Rider Changes
Yesterday, July 27, 2026, the single-rider sign returned. While we do not understand the reason behind this removal, we are thankful that it has returned.
The single-rider sign has now returned for Expedition Everest.
However, Cast Members can also close this single-rider queue at any time during the day. Be aware that this sign may show either "open" or "not available". We have heard rumors that the single-rider line will soon be removed from Expedition Everest.
For the time being, the Walt Disney World website still shows that Expedition Everest offers a single-rider option.
