Starting December 10, 2024, Disneyland in California will no longer use a virtual queue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Guests will be able to ride using a standby queue, Lightning Lane Premier Pass, or Lightning Lane Multi Pass. This update comes just weeks after the attraction debuted at Disneyland on November 15, 2024.
At Walt Disney World, Tiana's Bayou Adventure continues with a virtual queue that has been in place since its opening at Magic Kingdom on June 28, 2024. While Disney has suggested a standby queue may be introduced at some point, no timeline has been announced. Notably, the attraction has operated without a virtual queue during special event evenings, including Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, where guests have been able to ride using only a standby queue with wait times typically between 25 minutes and an hour.
Walt Disney World's extended use of virtual queues extends beyond Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT has relied on a virtual queue since its opening on May 27, 2022, now at day 925.
Elsewhere at Magic Kingdom, TRON Lightcycle / Run has recently switched to a standby queue after more than 500 days of using a virtual queue.
The continued use of the virtual queue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom suggests that Disney evaluates these decisions on a case-by-case basis, based on demand and operational needs, and we could be in for a lengthy wait for a standby line during regular park hours.
