Welcome to planDisney, Doreen! I am so happy you found our little Disney corner of the internet to help you plan your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
You must be counting the days to your late summer visit to The Most Magical Place On Earth. I can’t blame you! When you visit the Theme Parks, there will be multiple ways for you and your party to access the fun: Standby Queues, Virtual Queues,
Lightning Lanes via Disney Genie+, and
Individual Lightning Lanes.
Virtual Queues are accessible through your My Disney Experience App and are used for select attractions, typically when the rides are first introduced in the parks, so Guests can enjoy the rest of the park while they “wait.” Only
TRON Lightcycle / Run in the Magic Kingdom and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT are currently utilizing Virtual Queues, so there is no standby line/queue, but this is subject to change. Joining a Virtual Queue is free, can be requested at 7:00 AM and/or 1:00 PM (with certain restrictions), are limited in availability, and does not guarantee the ability to experience the ride.
I am also happy to let you know that
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in the Magic Kingdom will utilize a Virtual Queue when it is opened to the public on June 28, 2024! Princess Tiania's bayou bash features state-of-the-art animatronics, classic music from The Princess and the Frog, plus new songs specifically for the attraction! With this attraction being introduced and using a Virtual Queue, we don’t know how it will affect the other Virtual Queue attractions, so please continue to keep checking the Virtual Queue site,
Disney Parks Blog, or come back closer to your visit and
submit me another question so I can update you with the latest information!
See you real soon!
