The new app is called "Single Riders" because Disney has single rider lines where guests can find others to ride with. The app will also let users plan dates in the park, and chat all things Disney.

Kesha fan Kyle Dawson from Toronto dropped $594 on a ticket… only to see it go for $113 closer to showtime.
Brenda Appiah, who saw Kendrick Lamar and SZA at Rogers Centre, paid $1,705 for 3 seats, then watched similar seats go for $1,000 less.
