My only issue is that the additional postings after Post #3 that centered on the OP and her original question were not needed for the OP's benefit. (Pointing this out is my only and somewhat limited contribution to this thread.) And I must admit, it was the click-bait nature of the thread title that pulled me in, as I imagine it has others...
My very simple question was answered in the first reply.
Is that how it is supposed to work?
I've had some rather young single riders join our TT car. (Seemingly Kindergarten age, I would never let my own kid single rider with strangers at that age)
This entire thread has cracked me up:
From the thought of a sippy cup drinking 2 year old in the single rider line at Rock N Rollercoaster, to an expectant mother riding Expedition Everest, to the back and forth over 0.1% Green Giant toddlers.
So true. DGD just finished 3rd grade, so a rising 4th graders. One of her classmates is probably even smaller than your DS. She's actually supposed to be a rising 5th grader and is the size of the Kindy kids. Her parents held her back in Kindy. Still hard for me to look at her and DGD next to each other and realize she's 8 months older than DGD. She comes to DGD's chest. Both her parents are just short of 5' so it's easy to see how she's tiny but it is always hard to guess age, that's for sure.My 8 year old is teeny-tiny (my 5 year old is just about an inch shorter) and looks really young. The secretary at his school, who presumably is *very* familiar with how old kids look, confused him for a K kid a few months ago.
Kid ages can be very difficult to judge.

I don't want to say it like this, but... if you are the ONLY adult coming along, this is going to be a seriously over-priced trip to a splash fountain and some playground equipment. Most rides are really going to be off the table for you.
I do think OP is brave for taking a toddler to Disney alone while pregnant!
I disagree. OP needed three pieces of info which others added after post #3. She needed to know that not everything has a SR line, that rides have height requirements her toddler likely would not meet and that there is an age requirement to ride alone which definitely excludes her child from any SR line.
I tried hard not to respond, but . . .
OP, please know as the thread went on we learned that, 1) You thought there were single rider lines for many rides, 2) You thought a 2-year old could ride a ride alone, 3) You thought, perhaps, you would be able to utilize a single-rider line so your 2-year old could ride alone. I've been on this forum for many years and I'm in a few FB groups as well and, time and time again, I've found many people become disappointed and frustrated with their trip experiences because they don't have all relevant info for their trip prior to going. People who thought they could book all Tier 1 FP+ in EP only to find on their FP+ booking day that you can't do that. People who thought their MB's were instant FP's for all rides, etc. etc. I hope you know, though you may have interpreted some of the responses as snarky, that most people on here are only trying to help. Did you really want to show up (or make a FP+) for Barnstormer thinking your 2-year old could line up in a non-existent SR line and ride alone only to be disappointed that neither of you will be able to ride the ride?
Text in bold is the one thing she needed to know. This was communicated in post #2, and then the OP actually said "never mind" in post #3. The OP herself repeated in Post #20 that post #2 told her all she needed to know.
Regarding the assertion that she needed to know "that rides have height requirements her toddler likely would not meet" is refuted by the fact that the OP herself literally listed all the MK rides with height requirements in Post # 14.
Yes, the text in bold is what the OP said in Post #3 (and repeated in Post #10). Regarding the other claims, the OP never says these things; they are assumptions by other posters.
Not really, because I won't be going on any of the ones with height requirements anyway - as I mentioned, I'm pregnant. There are not many of them at all with height requirements. The only one he'd have to go on alone is Barnstormer

You call it assuming ................ but I think we are giving her the benefit of the doubt that she doesn't know anything about Disney because she is thinking about putting a 2 year old on Barnstormer.And if she doesn't know anything folks are trying to explain single rider, height requirements, age requirements so her trip is successful.

I think it can be inferred that she intended to put her 2 year old on a ride (or maybe multiple rides) alone, given that she was asking if they could use the SINGLE rider line. He wouldn't be a single rider if he were riding with her.
She never intended to put her child on any of the three rides that actually have single rider lines. True, she did mention about him going on one ride (Barnstormer) alone, so I will concede that needed to be addressed. Everything else beyond that was unnecessary, and speculation.
