I have heard several sad stories of guests with a Disney World Journey only to be rejected because the trip does not have a traditional waiting line. While disappointing those not initiated, this is not an unusual practice. Disney has several methods to access attractions, including a waiting tail, Lightning Lane Multi Pass and unique pass, Lightning lane Premier Pass and a virtual tail system.
A virtual tail is often used as an alternative to standard lines when a trip has been opened recently. Instead of letting the waiting times go up three hours or more, there are two specific moments every day in which guests can hook a virtual tail place in the My Disney Experience application. If you are lucky to get a place on the line, you will receive a return time in the application. Otherwise, your only option is to buy an omission line ray pass (if you are not yet exhausted) or try again next time.
Since he opened, both The adventure in the tiana swamp and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind They have used a virtual tail; This meant that there was no option for visitors to queue, even if they wanted to. However, that is about to change.
Disney revealed on Tuesday that he plans to eliminate the virtual tail of both trips on February 25. From that date, the guests will have the option to wait in a traditional waiting tail or select these trips as one of their attraction teams when they buy Lightning Lane Pass of first pass or Lightning Lane.
Depending on how Disney prefers to do, this could be something good or bad. Many guests prefer the virtual tail system (probably the same people who do not care about Southwest shipping process); The process intends to maintain manageable waiting times limiting the number of people who can enter the tail at a given time. They enjoy the emotion of trying a virtual tail place and the convenience of planning your day at the time of return.
Others, those who prefer to sleep late or travel the parks with a less rigid plan, prefer to look at the waiting times and decide for themselves if it is worth waiting in line. Personally, I have a hard limit in the 60 -minute mark. Apart from the opening day of a trip, I will not put myself online for a trip that has more than an hour of waiting. But there are many people who will wait two or more hours to take a walk, and starting on February 25, they have the option of doing exactly that.
Leaving personal preferences aside, the virtual tail does not necessarily mean that there is no tail. Even when I received a virtual tail place, sometimes I have still waited almost an hour to get to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. With the virtual tail system, there is no waiting time published, so you don’t always know what is when you enter the line.
With a waiting tail, you will see a waiting time in the application My Disney Experience and in the signaling published outside the trip. This leaves you the decision.
This also means that there are currently no trips in Disney World that use a virtual tail system, which eliminates a layer of complexity to plan your Disney holidays. That said, both are still very popular trips, and it is difficult to say how long the waiting times will spend. If you are willing to put dollars towards convenience, you may want to buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass before your trip and try to obtain them as preared driving selections.
