Disney4me Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 The days of waking up at the crack of dawn just to stare at your phone are officially over (for now, at least)—Disney World’s Virtual Queue system is officially no more! Or, at least, for the time being. Magic Kingdom A Virtual Queue at Disney World is a digital reservation system that allows guests to secure a spot in line for certain popular attractions without physically waiting in a standby line. Instead, guests join the queue through the My Disney Experience app and are assigned a boarding group. When their group is called, they can return to the ride within a designated return time. But now, Virtual Queues are no longer in use for current attractions at the parks. Starting February 25th, Virtual Queues are no longer being used for Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind over at EPCOT, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Over at EPCOT, Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind started its first day of being Virtual Queue-less with just 45 minutes. A huge shock, especially when keeping in mind that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure was at 55 minutes this morning! My Disney Experience app But of course, things changed pretty quickly, and as wild as an actual rollercoaster, Cosmic Rewind went from 45 minutes to a whopping 170! Ouch! My Disney Experience app The almost 3-hour wait was mind-blowing (but not surprising given the popularity of this attraction) however the standby line has now settled to 85 minutes. Phew, what a ride huh? Cosmic Rewind is also available to ride for guests staying at a Disney World resort hotel and entering the park with Early Entry. Guardians of The Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind At the Magic Kingdom, however, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure experienced a delayed opening, which was not ideal for its first day without a Virtual Queue. The lines were backed up but finally, at 9:31 am, the attraction was back up and running. Despite the delay, however, the ride was posted at just a 45-minute standby wait time. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure standby line Currently, the wait has shifted to 20 minutes, which was surprising to us, given its late start, as well as the popularity of this attraction. However, we’re guessing the times will shift throughout the day. My Disney Experience app If these wait times seem less than ideal for your upcoming trip to Disney World, keep in mind that Disney offers a skip-the-line system for purchase called Lightning Lane Single Pass that allows you to bypass the standard line for a shorter wait.
