Fastpass vs. Single Rider

[Baltica]

I'm off to Disneyland on a solo trip for only one day on this sure-to-be-busy Friday, June 11.

Would I be smart to skip Fastpass and rely on only the Single Rider Line for Indiana Jones in favour of picking up additional Fastpasses for something like Space Mountain?

Yes definitely. Only get FPs for rides without single rider.

Do they stop using Single Riders late in the evening? I can't get RideMax to give me anything for Splash after 9pm (on a 12am closing).

2 weeks to go!

Not that I have ever heard. But I would like to know that too.

Oh yeah single rider all the way. I, personally, have only used, for Indy, because my kids don't like it (anymore).

In my experience, single rider almost feels like cheating on the rides you can use it on. On Indiana Jones it typically got me onto the ride in 10 minutes or less (depending on whether I had to take the elevators across or not, and the one longer wait I ran into was the result of a relatively short breakdown.) I didn't try single rider on Indiana Jones late in the evening, but I did see them stop issuing single rider passes on Soarin' sometime around mid-afternoon (I just grabbed a FP, which had a relatively short return time.) Splash Mountain was closed for rehab the days I was there so I didn't get to try that one.

Any ride can stop offering SR lines for a few minutes, hour, a season (Grizzly has never had the SR line open that I've seen in all our visits).

But if they are up and running, they are fabulous!

Soarin' is especially weird to do. People look at you with the nastiest expressions, as though you're cutting in front of all of them. And then, because they do wait for open seats, you're often made to stand there for long minutes, just waiting, SR paper in your hand, while those people that glared at you for passing them look at you as though they think you got "caught".

And then you're seated next to them, LOL.

Sr Paper???

Do you not just queue in the SR line outside the enterance?? like at WDW, or do you have to ask a CM for a SR paper???

A lot of the SR lines are through the exit, so yes, you have to ask the CM in front for a SR card and then you go through the exit and show it to the CM there.

i agree! it's way better to save the FP's for rides that offer them, like space mountain and use single rider line for the rides that do that have them like splash mountain! In the disneyland map that you get at the entrance, it will show you what rides have the Sinlge rider and the Fast Pass rides! good luck! i use single rider all the time, and it's a breeze! OH AND if you go to california adventure, you're covered at that park! they have 4 rides that use the single rider system, Grizzly river run, mulholland madness, soarin and california scream!

When using Ridemax, there is a way to select "water rides" under Plan Options so that it will only schedule them between 10 am and 4 pm. Make sure you haven't checked that box. Hope that helps?

on ridemax you can select when you go? what? i heard of ridemax, but the extra fee for it stopped me... so i just use the single rider and deal with it
