Hey Suzanne! You brought a great question to planDisney! Understanding how to access the attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort is an important part of planning! And, to paraphrase my pal Tigger, planning vacations is what planDisney does best!
There are currently two attractions utilizing the
virtual queue! At Magic Kingdom Park, Guests can take the plunge into the bayou aboard
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure using the virtual queue. And, over at EPCOT, Guests can join Star-Lord aboard
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind by using the virtual queue.
The virtual queue can be accessed using your My Disney Experience account. Guests can join the queue at two times during the day. The first time is 7:00 AM. At this time, Guests can join the virtual queue without being in the theme park. The next time to join the virtual queue is at 1:00 PM. When joining the virtual queue at this time, Guests must have been admitted to the theme park. There is no fee associated with using the virtual queues to access attractions!
Suzanne, the other way to access both attractions is to purchase Lightning Lane. You can experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure by purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind can be enjoyed by purchasing a Lightning Lane Single Pass. Lightning Lanes can be purchased using the My Disney Experience app.
Have a great time on some of Walt Disney World Resort’s most popular attractions! I hope this planning advice is helpful during your visit later this month!
Dreams do come true!
