Disney Fans Are Getting Their Own Dating App
If your ideal first date involves churros, castle fireworks, and an impromptu photo in front of the Millennium Falcon, you're not alone, and soon, you might not be single either.
A new dating app called Single Riders is on the horizon, built entirely around one very specific type of person: the Disney adult. Designed to help theme park superfans connect romantically (or platonically), the app is preparing to roll out its beta testing phase, with plans to launch nationwide in the U.S.
The name itself is a clever nod to Disney's single rider lines—queue lanes that allow solo parkgoers to skip ahead by filling empty seats. Now, the app takes that same concept and applies it to real-life matchmaking, offering Disney lovers a chance to meet others who speak fluent Haunted Mansion quotes and plan vacations around EPCOT festivals.
In a sea of dating platforms that focus on swiping and surface-level bios, Single Riders leans into niche appeal. The idea isn't just to match people based on proximity or photos, but around a shared passion for all things Disney, whether that's animation deep cuts, pin trading, or knowing exactly which fireworks show plays at which park.
The app's creators have been teasing features on social media, and early responses have been enthusiastic. Many fans say it's the first dating app that actually makes sense for them, especially those who frequent the parks alone and want to find someone who gets the magic without needing an explanation.
Beyond dating, the platform is expected to offer options for building friendships and planning meetups, potentially even at the parks themselves. That kind of functionality could make it more than just a dating app; it could become a hub for a subculture that's already massive but loosely connected online.
While launch details are still under wraps, the app is expected to debut with location-based features, allowing users to see if other singles are currently at the same park. Additional filters, similar to those on mainstream platforms, like age, location, and interests, are also expected.
For Disney fans, the parks have long been a lifestyle. Proposals at Cinderella Castle are routine, themed weddings are big business, and friendships formed in line for Space Mountain have a surprising staying power.
In that sense, Single Riders is less of a gimmick and more of an inevitable evolution. If shared fandoms already power relationships in every other niche corner of the internet, why not in the most magical place on Earth?
