Get ready for some exciting news—big changes are happening at Walt Disney World that will make your visit even more magical!
Beginning February 25, 2025, Disney will officially remove the virtual queues for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom. Here’s why this update is great news and what it means for your next visit.
Why This Change Benefits Guests
No more early-morning rush to snag a virtual queue spot! Previously, guests had to secure a place in the virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app at specific times—often within seconds. With the virtual queues gone, guests now have the freedom to enjoy these attractions without the added stress of timing their reservations. It also allows for more spontaneous visits, making your day in the parks more flexible.
How You Can Ride Now
Experience shorter wait times with these options, which typically range from 30-90 minutes for standby and even faster with skip-the-line passes. Popular rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure can have longer lines during peak hours, so consider these options to maximize your time. Prices may vary depending on the season, crowd levels, and park location.
1. Standby Line: Simply head to the attraction, check the wait time on the My Disney Experience app or at the entrance, and hop in line. No reservations, no time limits—just classic Disney fun!
2. Skip the Line Options: Disney offers several ways to minimize your wait time:
MultiPass: A cost-effective option that allows you to book multiple rides throughout the day. Pricing varies based on the season and park, with options often bundled for added value.
Single Pass: Perfect if you only want to skip the line for one specific ride. Prices typically range from $10-$25 per person, depending on the ride and day.
Premier Pass: This option provides faster access to the most popular attractions and is available at a higher price point, usually $150-400 per person, offering quicker entry with fewer restrictions.
VIP Tour: The ultimate skip-the-line experience! A private Disney guide escorts your group to attractions with little to no wait. VIP Tours starts at around $450 per hour, with a minimum booking requirement, and accommodate up to 10 guests per guide—perfect for families or groups seeking a personalized experience.
Pro Tips for Shorter Waits
Lightning Lane: Use Lightning Lane during peak hours to save time on popular rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Note that Lightning Lane is available as part of MultiPass or can be purchased individually for select rides.
Rope Drop: Arrive when the park opens for the shortest standby waits. Disney Resort guests can take advantage of Early Entry for an even bigger head start.
Evening Rides: Lines tend to be shorter late in the evening, especially during fireworks or just before park closing.
Stay Updated: Use the My Disney Experience app to monitor wait times, availability, and ride statuses to make the most of your day.
Final Thoughts
Book now to take advantage of these changes and make the most of your Disney adventure! Whether you’re dancing through space with the Guardians or splashing down Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, it’s now easier than ever to experience these beloved attractions.
