We missed the virtual queues for Tron when we were there Thanksgiving week (i.e., tons of crowds). My husband wanted to ride it so late in the evening, 1-2 hours before park close, he just walked up to the ride and asked the cast members if they accept standby queue and he was able to ride it with a less than 10 minute wait. I love evening time in the parks - will take that over rope drop any time. And this was just a regular park day - no extended evening hours or party.

Former dermatology nurse - THANK YOU for the sunscreen shout out. So much better to use zinc-based lotion. BUT - for your teenagers, the best sunscreen is the one they're willing to use. And I'll be using the powder for my hair so I can use the ears. Hat would be better, but I really want to do the ears this time!

Mainly, you want fruit. This Disney wise woman used always to send herself an Edible Bouquet to her hotel room. That was before the pandemic, the inception of grocery delivery. You can't bring your own bananas, you probably don't want to pack apples, and Disney mainly supplies carbs with protein being a poor second.

I don’t leave in the evening so we don’t forget because by the time you’re done at the parks it’s already pretty late so it is to much of a hassle to do it at night. Plus there is getting home and then getting our luggage. We wouldn’t get home until way after midnight which is way to late for us to go to bed even if it is to get home earlier from our trip. We’d be sleeping most of the next day then anyways so it doesn’t make much of a difference.

I wish Animal Kingdom was open longer then 7 PM. for regular ticket holders. Yea there's always a catch for staying later.

Any speculation on what will happen with VQ once park reservations are not required for many people? More concerned about Guardians and not being able to grab one of everyone can get them if they have the possibility of going to the park. Personally being a late night person I would like to dump the 7:00 booking time but will be more frustrated if I get up and can’t get one.
@RoastBeefSandwich10 ай бұрын
My guess is they'll move to a geofenced VQ similar to the VQs for Disney Springs when they have them. Or maybe the VQs will only be available to join once you tap into the park - no more waking up early. Just guesses.

Yep I'm a Wise Woman also and have been going to WDW since before the original MK park opened as my cousin was 1 of its first employees. They needed "test guests" and my boyfriend and I went every weekend for 3-4 weeks. It was wonderful! No crowds at all and every cast member was smiling all the time versus now when many of the cast members are old and tired. Sad but very great memories of a lifetime of living an hour from WDW. Thank you!
