Hiya, Tom, and thank you for stopping by planDisney. Exciting changes are coming to
Walt Disney World Resort in a few days, and theme park reservation requirements are one of the main ones. Let's look at how virtual queues will work for your upcoming visit.
Guests with date-based tickets should be able to try to join the virtual queue at 7:00 AM for either
TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom Park or
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. According to the website, you can only hold a virtual queue for one attraction at a time. As long as your theme park ticket is valid for these parks, you should be able to join either of those virtual queues on your mobile app without a theme park reservation. So the choice is yours!
I chatted with a friendly Cast Member who said that until the language on the website is updated for the changes coming on January 9, we don't have all the specific details on how virtual queues and Genie+ will work for guests not required to make theme park reservations. I suggest you watch the
Virtual Queues page for up-to-date information and procedures.
Walt Disney said that progress is impossible without change, but sometimes, we must work through some growing pains. I'm sprinkling pixie dust so your upcoming visit is magical, Tom. Please stop by
planDisney anytime!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
