Disney California Adventure has some of the best Single Rider options at the Disneyland Resort, but how much time do they actually save?
On a random Tuesday at the start of this summer, I set out to test every attraction offering Single Rider at DCA. My goal was simple: compare the posted standby wait to the actual time it took to board using the Single Rider line.

To keep things realistic, I planned a route through the park instead of bouncing from one end to the other. Along the way, I tracked wait times, noted how each Single Rider queue operated, and looked at whether the time savings were worth it.
From nearly instant walk-ons to a few surprises, here’s how every DCA Single Rider attraction performed during a busy summer day.

| ATTRACTION | POSTED WAIT TIME | SINGLE RIDE WAIT TIME |
| Web Slingers | 55 Minutes | 12 Minutes |
| Radiator Springs Racers | 75 Minutes | 14 Minutes |
| Incredicoaster | 40 Minutes | 19 Minutes |
| Goofy’s Sky School | 40 Minutes | 7 Minutes |
| Grizzly River Run | 50 Minutes | 2 Minutes |
| Soarin’ Over California | 30 Minutes | 14 Minutes |
One Last Thing: Single Rider availability isn’t guaranteed and can change throughout the day, so always check with a Cast Member. And while it’s a great way to save time, it’s not a shortcut for groups you’ll most likely be split up and seated separately.
