How Walt Disney World Virtual Queues will work with the start of all-day Park Hopper access

Beginning January 9, 2024, all-day park hopping returns to Walt Disney World for guests with hopper tickets and Annual Passes.

When all-day park hopping resumes, guests will be able to join one attraction virtual queue at any theme park where they have valid admission. Guests may hold one attraction virtual queue at a time. Like today:

Select admission types may also require a theme park reservation to join a virtual queue.
Guests do not need to be inside a theme park to request to join the virtual queue at 7:00 AM.
Guests must be inside the theme park to request to join the virtual queue at 1:00 PM.

Virtual Queues are in operation at TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.

Since returning in 2021, Park Hopper access has only been available after 2 pm each day, and joining a Virtual Queue has required a park reservation.

Right…prior to the last couple of years that week grew in magnitude by leaps and bounds. Literal foul on my part

Should be very quiet with the initial battles of the second civil war and whatnot. ;)

Didnt you just say the parks havent been busy for 2 years? According to you, you are 100% wrong about the parks being busy for Jersey week...respectfully

Jersey week. Been a thing for about 20 years… It falls on an election week often…it’s not slow People stay home for elections now?

November 5 and 6 have been added to the calendar as Annual Passholder good-to-go days. The last good-to-go days were September 29 and October 1.

The hubris is what is shocking. I get that people were caged and Americans aren’t geared for that…so there was an artificial demand created…but that will subside and the cost will look insane. Disneyland has a totally different landscape. There is ZERO reason to have reservations for APs at wdw. They’re just trying to hold on to their desire to make you go where they want. I know of what I speak: those parks are NOT crowded and haven’t been for 2 years. Every “the parks are mobbed” is 100% wrong. You don’t know what you’re looking at and what to gauge. Respectfully 😎

That sucks. For sure. But they clearly advertise that it's subject to bookings. Now they don't make it known that 100k locals want to get in each weekend, but.... I don't think I'll even understand disneyland culture.

Double layer of restrictions Blackout windows up front and a first come, first serve (so they say) on top of that stretches the bonds of logic

DLR does not do that at this time.

They're sold as requiring reservations. We just don't like it. Although it's not bad at WDW as we can enter after 2 with no reservations. Not sure if DL does that.
