Jambo, Emily, and welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you're on your
Walt Disney World Resort adventure. I'm happy and jealous at the same time! I can tell you're a savvy planner, so I'm sure you'll have a roaring good time. Let's talk about how virtual queues can add even more WOW to your visit.
My husband and I were in a similar situation recently, and the Cast Member suggested I let my 7:00 AM virtual queue expire. He explained that since I never scanned in with it, the system should allow me to
join the 1:00 PM queue. And he was right! I still had "quick hands" and joined at 1:00 PM on the dot, and we secured spots for an evening ride on TRON Lightcycle / Run.
To join the afternoon virtual queue for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, you'll need to have scanned into
EPCOT before 1:00 PM. Pull up the virtual queue in your mobile app, choose your party, and give it a try! You'll be dancing and screaming to "Conga" before you know it.
If you're looking for a unique lunch spot while you're at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, I have a hidden gem for you. Head to
Nomad Lounge a little before the listed opening time to join the walk-up waitlist. Ask to be seated on the outdoor porch for a special treat. The comfy chairs overlook the water where you might see character flotillas while you dine. The Tiffins Bread Service will calm the most savage beast!
Emily, I hope your visit is full of wild times and magical memories. Please
stop by planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
