Hi there, Terry!
Welcome to planDisney. I'm glad you stopped by with this question. One of my favorite tips for maximizing your time in the magic at the Happiest Place on Earth is taking advantage of the
Single Rider queues offered on select attractions. These are perfect for Guests who don't mind splitting up from their party or those having an epic solo Disneyland day in exchange for a shorter wait time, so you can spend less time in line and more time enjoying the magic!
It sounds like you are already in the parks for the weekend. Well, I'm happy to share that you've got access to
all the attractions that offer a Single Rider line right in your pocket in the
Disneyland App. When you open the app, tap the pinpoint icon in the bottom navigation bar to pull up the park map. From here, tap the filter icon button along the top, just to the left of "Locations". You will see tons of ways to filter the experiences within both parks. Scroll down to "Interests" to select "Single Rider Offered"and tap "Apply". The map will automatically add a star to the Single Rider attractions. I like to tap "Show List" in the bottom right-hand corner for a quick view of these rides. You can easily use this tool in the app to map out your day!
A solo day at the Disneyland Resort is one of my favorites. While I love visiting with my family, there's something unique about having full control of the magic. I find myself hitting the ground running but also finding moments to slow down, grab a sweet treat, and soak in the atmosphere. With
Halloween Time in full swing, I highly recommend Mobile Ordering something festive at Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe and grabbing a spot on the patio. A few of the treats that I have my eye on are the Jack-O'-Lantern Mickey Pumpkin Macaron and Joffrey's Pumpkin Cold Brew! You can even earmark a few must-try sweets in the
Disney Parks Blog Halloween Time Foodie Guide. If you time it perfectly, you can even enjoy the Mickey and Friends Halloween Cavalcade, which marches down Main Street twice daily at 1:30 PM and 2:45 PM!
Terry, I hope this has been helpful and we've set you up for a successful day in the parks! If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at

Magic awaits!
