On November 2, 2023, a virtual queue will open for the runDisney Merchandise Shop at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex as part of the 2023 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.
Attendees looking to purchase event weekend merchandise on the first day of the Expo will be asked to join a virtual queue.
How to Join the Virtual Queue
In order to use the virtual queue on day one of the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo, you’ll need to download the My Disney Experience app and ensure location services are turned on.
- Step 1: Open the My Disney Experience app and navigate to the Virtual Queue section on the home screen.
- Step 2: Select “Join Virtual Queue” on the My Queues screen and then select “runDisney Merchandise Shop.” Guests can request to join the virtual queue at 8:30 AM Eastern Time on November 2, 2023.
- Step 3: Select the number of Guests (up to 6 people total) in your shopping party. Select “Join Virtual Queue” once more. Note: All members of your shopping party must be added to your My Disney Experience Friends & Family list prior to joining the virtual queue.
- Step 4: If there are open spots in the virtual queue, you’ll see a confirmation screen with both a QR code and an estimated wait time. Your estimated wait time will be based on the Expo opening time of 10:00 AM Eastern Time.
- Step 5: You’ll receive a push notification directly to your mobile device when your group is ready to return. This push notification will also present you with a link to your digital entry code.
