Hi there Becky, Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! How exciting that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You are sure to make awesome memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
As of January 9th, 2024, Disney World no longer requires a Park Pass Reservation for most guests. Anyone who buys a regular date-based ticket (either tickets only or as part of a vacation package) no longer has to reserve their park visit in advance.
Although reservations are no longer required, you can still reserve a spot in the
virtual queue on the day you visit
EPCOT. To join the queue, open the My Disney Experience app a few minutes before it opens at either 7 AM or 1 PM. Tap the three horizontal lines at the bottom right of the screen, then select "Virtual Queue" under "My Visit." Choose "Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind" and follow the prompts to join the queue, confirming your party members as needed.
Once you successfully join the virtual queue, you’ll receive a boarding group number. The app will notify you when your group is called to return to the attraction. Keep an eye on the app for updates. When your boarding group is called, you usually have a window of time to arrive at the attraction. Make sure you’re in the correct area of the park when your time approaches.
Quick tip: If you’re visiting with a group, have multiple people try to join the virtual queue on different devices to increase your chances.
Becky, I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
