New Dating App for Disney Adults Currently In Development
A new dating app is currently in development that is designed specifically for Disney adults to find a romantic match (and make friends)! It can sometimes be difficult to find other people who share the same level of enthusiasm and love for Disney, which is where this app comes in to bring fans together. Keep reading for everything that has been shared so far about this new app designed for Disney adults! READ MORE – New Disney Adults Dating App in Development TikToker Joe @joethebeardednerd described in a video that he was inspired to create a dating app for Disney adults after he was stood up on a date. He said, 'I did what any other Orlando local does, and I went to Disney,' which prompted him to come up with the idea of developing a Disney dating app. The app is called 'Single Riders,' a play on Disney's Single Rider service at the parks. The new app will have both a dating side and a friendship side for those who want to go to Disney but don't have anyone to go with. I especially like this idea of having a friendship side, as sometimes it's easier said than done to find others who have the same level of passion for Disney and want to spend time in the parks. I expect that a lot of users will take advantage of this side of the service. In a post from Joe via the singleridersapp account, he encouraged people to share in the comments what they would like to see in this dating app and shared that a beta program is opening up later this year. There were some good suggestions in the comments! TikTok user Robyn McGurgan shared, '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!' There were several more suggestions and questions in the comments, including those asking if this would be available on the West Coast as well, which the account confirmed would be the case. An older version of this concept is Mouse Mingle, a paid dating site for Disney fans that was launched in 2015 to bring together people who love Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel. The concept of a Disney adults dating service is something that people have shown interest in, as Disney in general is a topic that many people can connect through.

Adult Disney fans may find their match on the new Single Rider dating app
Single rider rides at Disney could get more interesting thanks to a new dating app aimed at adult Disney fans A new dating app is on the horizon for adults who feel most at home among churros, coasters, and costumed characters. Single Riders aims to bring together theme park enthusiasts—both romantically and platonically—whether their happy place is Disneyland, Universal Studios, or a lesser-known local favorite. Slated for release in late 2025 or early 2026, Single Riders was announced this week by the app's creator, a Disney content creator known as Joe the Bearded Nerd. The concept was born two years ago after Joe was stood up on a date and decided to lift his spirits with a solo trip to Disney World. Somewhere between popcorn carts and parade floats, inspiration struck. Named after the 'single rider' lines that offer faster entry to rides for solo guests, the app will connect users over a shared love of theme parks. While Disney fans will no doubt flock to it, Joe emphasizes that the app won't be limited to the House of Mouse—it will include Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, King's Island, and other parks across the U.S. 'There's definitely interest,' Joe shared in a follow-up video, 'but we're still early in the process.' This isn't the first effort to unite theme park lovers. A decade ago, debuted with a similar mission and remains online today. But Single Riders is designed to be broader and more inclusive, welcoming fans of all parks and all types of connections. Beta sign-ups will be opening soon. At launch, the app will be U.S.-only and English-language exclusive. It's currently being developed by a two-person team—both of whom are juggling full-time jobs—so progress is steady, if not lightning-fast. Joe says potential investors have already reached out via TikTok, though fundraising decisions are still up in the air. For now, theme park romantics will have to hang tight—but the queue for Single Riders is officially open. This story was originally broken by Fortune. Solve the daily Crossword

Upcoming dating app Single Riders looks to match up adult theme park enthusiasts
An upcoming dating app will match adult theme park enthusiasts. Single Riders will match Disney adults, as well as fans of other parks, both romantically and platonically. The founder says it should be released at the end of this year or possibly early in 2026. Being a theme park enthusiast as an adult can carry a stigma, but an upcoming dating app is looking to help those park goers come together, just like Mickey and Minnie. The app's called Single Riders, but you're going to have to wait a few months before you can download it. Announced this week by the Disney content creator who goes by the name Joe the Bearded Nerd, the idea behind the app was born two years when he was stood up by a date. To console himself, the Orlando resident went to Disney World – and inspiration struck. Taking its name from the lane available to solo guests who are willing to ride alone in exchange for a shorter wait, the app will pair people together both platonically and romantically. And in a follow-up video, its creator emphasized that it won't be purely Disney-centric. It will also incorporate Universal, King's Island, Knott's Berry Farm and other theme parks. 'It's for all theme park enthusiasts,' he said. Beta sign-ups will start soon, according to Joe the Bearded Nerd (who has managed to keep his real name hidden). The app itself, however, is probably not 'going to happen until the end of this year, maybe early next year, based off of our current development cycle.' The app will be only for U.S. parks initially and will only be offered in English when it launches. It's being created, currently, by a two-person team, both of whom have full-time jobs. Joe says he has had potential investors reach out to him via TikTok, but they haven't decided yet whether they'll be looking to fundraise. 'We're thinking about it, but we're not there yet,' he says. Single Riders isn't the first attempt to bring Disney fans together. Ten years ago, launched. The site is still active today. This story was originally featured on Solve the daily Crossword
