Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to Still Require Virtual Queue After TRON Opens Up

Disney has confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will still use the virtual queue system at that time once TRON Lightcycle / Run opens to the public on April 4 which will also require virtual queue access to ride. Though we already knew this was probably going to happen there still was a chance Disney could switch things up.

What Is a Virtual Queue?

From time to time, a virtual queue—accessible via the My Disney Experience app—may be used for select attractions or experiences. When a virtual queue is in place, you can request to enjoy that attraction or experience later in the day, so you can enjoy other experiences while you wait. When the virtual queue is in place, a standby queue will not be available, and Guests must use the My Disney Experience app to enter the attraction or experience.

Virtual Queue Experiences

Virtual queues are being used for the following experiences at Walt Disney World Resort:

How Virtual Queues Work for Attractions

Before Your Visit

Make sure you have the My Disney Experience app, with notifications enabled so you receive important updates about the virtual queue—including callback details and daily distribution times.

Get Ready to Join the Virtual Queue!

On the day of your visit, you may have the opportunity to join the virtual queue at daily distribution times, which are subject to change or cancellation as availability allows. Distribution schedules will be available in the My Disney Experience app.

Select one member of your party to access the virtual queue to check for an available boarding group for everyone in your party. If multiple people in your party try to join the virtual queue simultaneously, that may inhibit your ability to join a group.

Step 1 – Check Availability

Step 2 – Enroll Your Group

Step 3 – Enjoy the Experience

Please Be Aware That:

Joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to participate in the experience.
Boarding groups for a virtual queue are limited, subject to availability, and are not guaranteed. Not all boarding groups may be called to return, based on availability of the experience.
Guests may hold boarding groups for attraction virtual queues and a virtual queue for other select experiences at the same time, when available.
Guests visiting from another theme park using an Annual Pass or the Park Hopper option may not be able to join the virtual queue in a park where they do not have a theme park reservation. In order to request access to a virtual queue during Park Hopper hours, a Guest must be inside the theme park where the virtual queue will be used.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please find a Cast Member at one of the Guest Experience Team kiosks throughout the park or visit a Guest Relations location.
