Hello Fidel!
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question. I hope you're having an amazing time on your
Walt Disney World vacation. Let's talk about current theme park ride reservation systems.
At Walt Disney World, there are several ways to secure return times for attractions. The key time to remember is 7 AM EST, when all guests can select Lightning Lane return times (after purchasing
Disney Genie+ Service for the day) and request to join a
Virtual Queue if available. Guests staying at
Disney Resort Hotels can also purchase
Individual Lightning Lane Entries (up to two attractions per day) starting at 7 AM.
If you're staying offsite, you can purchase Individual Lightning Lane Entries once a theme park opens. For example,
EPCOT opens at 9 AM today, so offsite visitors can purchase an Individual Lightning Lane for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at 9 AM.
If you didn't land a spot this morning in a Virtual Queue (currently available for
TRON Lightcycle/Run,
Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), hakuna matata! No worries! You'll have another opportunity at 1 PM. To increase your odds, open the
My Disney Experience mobile app and get ready a few minutes before 1:00. Select your party in the "Virtual Queues" section, and as the clock strikes 1, refresh the screen and cross your fingers! Remember, to request to join the Virtual Queue at 1 PM, you must have entered the theme park where the attraction is located, and you cannot simultaneously hold a spot in another Virtual Queue.
I hope this has been helpful, Fidel, and you have a wonderful Walt Disney World getaway. Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, and have a magical day!
Betsy
