Overview
- Multiple on-site reports show the physical single‑rider entrance sign at Expedition Everest was removed during the July 25–26 period, and outlets say the dedicated queue is being wound down.
- Cast Members tell reporters the single‑rider option still exists for now if a guest asks at the entrance, creating a temporary, on‑request workaround rather than a posted, self‑service lane.
- Disney’s My Disney Experience app and official listings continue to list “Single Rider Offered,” producing a mismatch between app information and what guests see at the ride entrance.
- Operational changes earlier this year introduced an evens/odds boarding method that pairs riders from the main queue and reduced the need to backfill seats with single riders, making the separate line less effective.
- If the single‑rider program ends, guests who used it regularly should expect to rely on rope drop or Lightning Lane to manage wait times, and Animal Kingdom will join Magic Kingdom as a park without advertised single‑rider lines.
