🎁 Why Go Solo to Disneyland Paris?
-
Total freedom. Want to ride Big Thunder three times before lunch? Do it.
-
Short queues. Use Single Rider lanes and zip through attractions like Ratatouille and RC Racer.
-
Slower pace. Take your time browsing Main Street shops, soaking up parades, or people-watching with a pastry.
-
Easier planning. No compromises, no kids’ meltdowns, no “hangry partner” negotiations.
-
It’s safe. DLP is super solo-friendly, with helpful staff, clear signage, and safe surroundings.
🎠 Best Solo-Friendly Rides & Attractions
Some rides are just better solo. Here’s where to head first:
-
Big Thunder Mountain – Take in the views solo and feel like a rebel
-
Ratatouille: The Adventure – Single Rider available
-
Crush’s Coaster – Popular and fun to experience solo if you’re lucky enough to ride backward!
-
Star Tours & Hyperspace Mountain – Great solo vibes for Star Wars fans

Phantom Manor – Spooky solo? Even better
-
It’s a Small World – Quietly iconic and oddly therapeutic when you don’t have to sing along
🎢 Billy’s Tip: Ride queues are often shorter for solo guests even when Single Rider isn’t open — Cast Members love filling odd numbers.
