Single Disney fans are getting their own app to hook up: ‘Super excited’​

A fairy tale ending could be just around the corner.

Last week, an app developer took to TikTok with a big announcement for Disney fans looking to make love connections.

Single Riders is a proposed new dating app that aims to connect Disney devotees — along with other theme park enthusiasts — with one another.

The latest briefing, shared on the platform’s TikTok account @singleridersapp, revealed that the app will begin searching for beta testers soon.

Among the ever-expanding pool of dating apps, Tinder, Bumble and Hinge still reign supreme, but new, hyper-niche platforms are introduced to the world constantly — take Tribal, for example, the app where users are matched based on their values, rather than their physical preferences — but this one may just float your “Jungle Cruise” boat.

The app’s “Single Riders” moniker echoes Disney World’s single rider lines, which allow unaccompanied park guests to mingle and fill empty seats — effectively cutting down on wait time.

In the same way, the app invites the massive franchise’s community of fanatics to plan dates in the park, discuss their shared Disney-related interests, or, alternatively, build platonic friendships.

The creators have claimed that the app will be available everywhere in the U.S.

The developer also said that more updates on the status of the platform were coming soon and advised interested Disney fans to stay in the loop by keeping an eye on the app’s social media pages.

Users sounded off in the comments of the post, expressing both their excitement and communicating some non-negotiable features the app should include.

“This would be the only dating app I’d ever consider getting on,” enthused one commenter.

“I go to the parks alone and it would be AWESOME to have a feature that shows if other singles are at the parks at the same time,” suggested one fan on the prowl.

“Noticing it’s all ladies in the comments. Hope we can get some fellas excited for this too,” noted one skeptical Disney fan.

Meanwhile, a wave of commenters proposedincluding filters like height, location, age, political affiliation and education, which other popular dating apps offer.

Beyond being a dream vacation destination for kids across the world, Disney parks have also led to a blossoming between adults.

Despite false rumors of a ban swirling on the internet, Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castleremains one of the most popular places in Disney World to pop the question.

In fact, park employees often see dozens of Disneygoers getting down on one knee on any given day.

Some Disney lovers even host franchise-themed weddings, and book out sections of the park for tens of thousands of dollars, all so they can say their vows under the nightly Mickey-shaped fireworks.
 
Disney? Disney is for kids! When I was recently divorced and started dating again I was confused when millennial girls would answer a Disney movie when asked about their favourite film, when I as a very late gen X would try to think of deep and artsy indie-films, because I'm trying to be a sophisticated adult.

If your favourite movie is "The Lion King" I start regretting taking you to an expensive trendy restaurant when a Happy Meal probably would have done the job. At least try to come off as an adult if we are going to be doing adult things.

Henry Rollins makes this same point at length here:

 
Not a physical containment zone though. Now there's a possibility of the disney adults procreating!
Not a chance of that happening, it's going be filled with lumpy 40 year old batshit crazy women who are holding out millionaire with a fit body and they won't settle for equal to her men. it go under in a few months.

Years ago I was on a dating site looking through my potential matches, and I ran across a very attractive women... whose hobby was dressing up as Disney princess characters. Not exactly a cosplayer, because it was just Disney. I did not message her.

Later, I wasn't sure why. Is that really worse than being a general cosplay thot, I wondered?

Yes, it is. Maybe it's worse now that Disney has gotten worse. But Disney adults are just terrible. I hope she grew out of it.
 
Okay but how do I pretend to know enough about Disney to get a girl to go on a date with me? Are Fraggles Disney?
All the single men have a opportunity to do something really funny.

"Oh yeah, Disney is my favorite, obviously. I always really liked Tom and Jerry as a kid. That's Disney, right?"
 
I predict that there’s a 90% likelihood of the woman on that app being fat, and 50/50 whether the dude is fat or has that weird muscular dystrophy-skinny fat body.

(Wasn’t there an article a few weeks ago about SEVERAL Disney adult dating apps?)

EZ. Just do like with all other women and just sit and nod and listen. Women love talking about themselves, so by the time she manages to figure out that you don’t know the difference between Jasmine and Bella, you likely have been dating for a few months.
 
I like old school Disney just fine but nothing is worse than encountering a Disney Adult whose sole existence is simply to reeee about how they're the biggest fan in the world of *insert Disney IP here*.

Them: "I love Nightmare Before Christmas"
Me: "Yeah that's a pretty cool movie"
Them: "I HAVE 47 TATTOOS OF JACK SKELLINGTON, I NAMED MY DAUGHTER SALLY AND I HAVE A HALLOWEEN CHRISTMAS TREE AND---"
Me: *internal screaming why did I engage with this person*

Those sort of people dating and trying to out-Disney each other sounds like a fucking nightmare
 
"build platonic friendships"

Why, yes, I want to spend thousands going to Florida on vacation just to get fucking friend-zoned.

More than likely, a lot will be "poly" or play pretend in order to get some retard to buy them shit.
 
Bro who's thinking about getting some pussy while they're at disneyworld? Let alone going there alone.

And a week after launch there will be an exodus of the Disney skinnyfat dudes when it dawns on them that the average match won't look like Jenny Nicholson.
