Have you ever been on a ride or in a show or visiting an attraction and been the only person/family there? I can name a few times I've walked right on rides and there were so few people that I felt like we had the place to ourselves, but I don;t think we've ever truly been alone on a ride.
 
This happened to us last week on Imagination. Every time we went to ride on the ride they were pushing through empty cars. No other guests to be found and we always had our pick of seats. It was really odd at first, but by the second day (DS wanted to ride it at least twice a day) the CMs new us on sight and it became more of a joke :flower:
 
this has happened to us on POTC, BTMRR and SM...always been near closing time though.....
 
Of all places Winne the Pooh. We walked right up there was no one in the que we got on and when the ride came all the way around there was no one in line again--so guess what, we went again. This was on labor day too!!!!! Of course it was the day the park reopened after one of the hurricaines last year. We were one of only a few on most rides. We got so spoiled and had a wonderful time. We spent 2 hours in fantasy land and had completed at least 14 rides. It was wild.
 

last year, DS7 and I went by ourselves to MK to watch Spectro as he had never seen it and DH and DS4 stayed at the resort because DS4 fell asleep.

Well, we ended up on Buzz Lightyear right around closing and we were practically the only ones left as we rode it over and over and over again without even getting off. I think we rode a total of 4 times without ever getting out of our ride vehicle. That was the coolest! No one else was coming in the line and people had gotten off the ride, so yeah... we were the only ones left. The CM was so great... he just waved us thru. DS7 thought he was in heaven!
 
We checked into CBR on the day they opened. We took the bus from CBR to MK and we were the ONLY ones on the bus.......just DH, myself and the driver. Turned out the driver was formerly from NJ so we got on a discussion about Jersey corn and tomatoes LOL

It felt a bit like we had a limo ride to the park.............well a very large limo!!!! :rotfl:
 
It happened to me once, in Disneyland Paris.

Rode Rock'n'Rollercoaster in the front row with no-one else on board! Was noticeably slower through certain parts of the ride, due to reduced load.
 
We enjoyed Carousel of Progress alone once, midday.
 
It's happened to me on Pirates several times. On our most recent trip, we walked all the way through SplM and got right in our log. No one else was around. It was during the parade, though.

DS and I had the bus to ourselves on StarWars Weekend on the way to MGM.
 
On my last trip in 2001 I rode Splash just before the end of an E-Ride night. When we got to the end the CM asked if we wanted to stay. I was in a log with two strangers, and I was the only one who stayed to ride again. There were no other occupied logs in front of me or behind me. It was kind of eerie going through alone. And then at the place where you go up to the big drop, my log got stuck! It seemed to take forever to get on the track! That was scary. I finally made it up and over, and one of the characters was standing on the bridge or whatever it is where you can see people after the drop, and he was applauding and waving. That made up for the eerie scariness!
 
We have ridden Splash alone on a log, for a couple turns during the Parade of MNSSHP a few years ago. Last Spring Break we rode BTMRR with 2 other people for a second run without getting off the Train at Park opening. Within the hour, waits for it were 1/2 hour+. We have also enjoyed CoP with one other party. I have done Rio De Tiempo & Imagination several times with only one other party in sight.
 
We went to MNSSHP in 2003. Entered the park right when the party was starting, and headed for Adventureland. Walked on the Jungle Cruise and had the boat all to ourselves. Since it was just DH and me, the tour guide did not do the normal JC speil. Instead, she gave us some history of the ride, how the animals worked, where the hidden mickeys are, etc. One of our best jungle cruises ever. pirate:
 
We rode Test Trac 2X this past May all by ourselves. We were chosen as :cool1: family of the day :cool1: at Epcot. We totally had Test Trac to ourselves :flower:
 
Pretty close. We were 4 out of 6 people watching The Circle of Life at the Land once. I used the Test Track single riders line at noon and walked all the way to the briefing room to find one other person!
 
I once had Dumbo all to myself! And yes, I was 40 at the time. :goodvibes
 
We had a bus to ourselves from MK to the Wilderness Lodge last week.
 
It happen to us in AK on the Rapids. We did it in the early morning and went around 6 times. We were drenched!!! It was so much fun. :Pinkbounc :banana:
 
Last month we were at MK on a rainy morning. Our kids are kind of old for Dumbo, but we rode since the place was so light. There was one other group on the ride.
 
We were at WDW last year when Hurricane Charley hit. The morning of, the parks were open for just 3 hours, from 9 to 12 noon. We ran to Epcot where we rode Figment all by ourselves, just our family. I have a pic of it, but it's on my other computer which is dismantled. Each of us got in our own car. :)
 
In Dec 2003 we had dinner at CRT before MVMCP. When we finished, they let us ride Dumbo. My family was the only one on the ride for 2 turns and there was no one in sight since they were not letting people in yet that did not have ps for dinner. Way Cool!! :cool1:
