Disney World Drops Virtual Quques on 2 New Rides
Beginning today, you can experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT through either a standby queue or a Lightning Lane option.
I appreciate the added choice and flexibility that the standby queue provides. Getting up early to snag a virtual queue at 7 am could not have improved guest satisfaction. Especially for those who didn’t get in.
It wasn’t a great system. You pay $200 per person to get in the park, and then find out you missed the virtual queue signup or that you need to spend even more money just to ride to Tiana or Guardians. It was heartbreaking to hear guests asking Cast Members how they get their family on these rides only to find out that passes are sold out.
I applaud Disney for reconsidering this policy. It’s the right thing to do.
