Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Julianne. We're so glad you stopped by! It looks like your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort is quickly approaching. How exciting!
You ask an excellent question. I had no idea what the protocol was for this kind of situation, but I became familiar with it last year when my daughter desperately needed to leave the queue of
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to get to a restroom. In our experience, a nearby Cast Member ushered us out of the line and passed us on to another Cast Member, then on to another who led us to the exit and directed us to the nearest restroom. He gave us specific instructions on how to re-enter from the point where we exited. When we re-entered, we were escorted by a series of Cast Members back to the exact same spot we had left in the queue. In typing this, I recognize that it sounds a bit troublesome with all the Cast Member hand-off's, but it was really quite efficient and very quick, taking about 5 minutes from start to finish. Depending on the attraction, there may be a different procedure, but rest assured that the Cast Members there will get you back in line without needlessly extending your wait time. Before you know it, you'll be boarding and on your way to an adventure!
Be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app before your visit. It's magic at your fingertips! You can use the app to check current wait times for attractions, place
Mobile Food and Beverage Orders, view Disney PhotoPass photos, book
Lightning Lane return times, and more. You may find the map feature particularly helpful. You can use the drop-down arrow at the top of the map feature to select 'Restrooms,' which will show you the locations of restrooms throughout all of Walt Disney World Resort!
I hope this was helpful, Julianne. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your visit! We'd love to help you plan a magical trip.
