Single Rider Rides for Mid Day/Later Arrival?

[davkata]

Still trying to decide what to do for our plans on arrival day. We are now arriving a day early due to rebooking (another blizzard coming here!). We will probably not get to any park before late morning/midday as we are staying at the airport arrival night (Disney fully booked except for $600 and up rooms). Our 3 FP+ are currently at MK for 7:25 and later as we were not supposed to get in until late Sunday. One of those is 7DMT so I don't really want to cancel that. Debating just trying to hit TT, RnRC and EE and maybe a few other things if there are any with little wait times (ha! ya, I know!) at each of the respective parks. I know this will be a lot of bussing time, but might be an adventure, too, it's just DD16 and I. Will the single rider lines on the Sunday of President's weekend be horrible during peak/middle of the day (I know RnRC is often bad anyway)? Honestly, we will just be glad to not be looking at 3-4 foot snow banks in sub zero temperatures no matter what we ride!

I don't know the single rider wait times, but they are pretty reliably less than the standby. Definitely worth a try. I don't think MDE shows the time, so you won't know until you get to the ride. I think it would be fun to try.

The only one that might be an issue is RnRC. I got in the SR line once when the regular line was 45 minutes. The SR line was at the outer doors and the people behind me were outside. I moved about 5 feet in the first 5 minutes, but the line from that point did not move for 10 minutes before I got out of line. In this case, I probably would have saved maybe 10 minutes if I has stayed in line. It was basically an extra ride so I was not too disappointed. I would still check it out to see how it is moving.

I have never had more than a couple minutes wait for EE, but the standby line waits were usually 20-30 minutes. As for TT, I think the longest I have waited was 20 minutes, but the wait for standby was almost 2 hours that day.

Also have to be careful about relying on SR lines. Last time in October they closed the SR line for RnR because the wait was so long.

My experience tends to be the same as everyone else. For the most part, Test Track and Expedition Everest tend to work well with the single rider line. My theory is TT because of the 3 across seating and EE because the sign is small so the line stays short. RnR is more of a toss up. If the line is outside like Tobikaye mentioned, you're going to be in the line a long time. Unless the standby line is well over an hour, you need to be inside the "studio" and probably through the lobby. (No more than 20 or 30 people from the preshow room). Because you can wait well over 30 minutes in the alley if it's full.

I agree with the o thers. TT and EE should work well for you. Maybe do those first, then hop to DHS and see if you can do RnR. I tried the SRL at RnR a couple of times, but as another poster said, left the line because it didn't seem to be moving. Maybe if you save RnR for last, you can time it so you can get in line at the end of the night and still get on.
