so, post-covid re-open until 2022, while everything was back to standby only? no. i don't remember. at all. i also don't remember the parks only being open 10 hours per day (but still getting on every single attraction in the parks), or nonstop character cavalcades, or having the place to myself. or $17 airfare, and $75 rooms. because if i did remember those things, i'd be really annoyed at you for reminding me how great it was.

Just wanted to thank you for putting out the initial video that talked about virtual queues. It really helped when we were down last March. Your rapid refresh method got us access to a late afternoon boarding group to Tron at the 1 PM time slot and one of the first boarding groups on guardians at the 7 AM time slot. Thanks for the update on Tiana's! I'm hopeful by the time I have the chance to go back to WDW, they will have transitioned it to just a standard queue and Genie+ LL

Welcome, and happy to have you! The EPCOT posters are from shopDisney. Spaceship Earth: guide2wdw.com/spaceshipearth-poster/ Imagination: guide2wdw.com/imagination-poster/ The ones linked are 18x14". The posters on my wall were limited edition large prints, which they don't sell anymore. But shopDisney has a lot of other great EPCOT prints in the same style for other pavilions, including some retired attractions like Horizons and Illuminations.

@Guide2WDWАй бұрын
Advice in this video still applies because Virtual Queue is unchanged. Take any parts where I talk about Genie+ and replace it with “Lightning Lane Multi Pass” and it still works, as in Tiana being the only VQ ride available with LLMP. As for my Genie+ video, that will be dated starting July 24th, but I have new Lightning Lane videos about the new system coming soon.

I was just at the Magic Kingdom on July 18 and Tiana's virtual queue was still operative. I tried to join at exactly 1 PM but was shut out. Something didn't add up, it was as if they weren't allowing people to join a queue at all for some reason that afternoon.

I’m not opposed to virtual queues, but it needs to be improved. Like for guardians, you only have about 20 seconds to get a virtual queue before it fills up.

@@Guide2WDW I've played around with the app. I've seen the 1 pm virtual queue for guardians fill up in seconds. Tron will fill up much slower. I wonder how long it will be till guardians switches to standby. It's been 2 years already.
@Guide2WDW2 ай бұрын
The 1 PM Guardians is for sure harder to get than Tron. You can see the stats I use here: www.thrill-data.com/news/disney-world-boarding-group-availability-tracker/#gog Most days, 1 PM Guardians is gone around a minute or under a minute. But there are certain days that have been available longer, like yesterday was 11 minutes. June 9th was 32 minutes. May 8th was over 2 hours. So it can be available for awhile, but you have to be lucky. In comparison, Tron has been available for hours many of the recent days. I am seriously surprised the VQ has lasted this long at Guardians. It feels like it should go to standby any time now. If I had to bet, I could see it going to standby this fall (maybe as a D23 announcement). But I also wouldn't be surprised if they just kept it around for another year at this point.

If I'm with a party of four that likes to split up, can each group of two do their own virtual queue?
@Guide2WDW2 ай бұрын
Absolutely. Just on the confirm your party screen, edit the party to only include the 2 people you want. And make sure the other group of 2 does the same. Also, if you all are interested in the same ride, you could also just have one person get a boarding group for all four people. You don’t all have to be together to go on the ride when your boarding group is called. Everyone could show up at separate times during the return window and it would still work.

For Tron we would really like to ride at night. Do we risk waiting until 1pm to book? I’m assuming you cannot modify VQ reservations.
@Guide2WDW2 ай бұрын
For riding Tron at night, I’d suggest the 1 pm queue for sure. It lasts much longer (recently for hours), and it’s your only shot for getting called late. You are right that you can’t modify your VQ boarding group. Alternatively, you could buy Individual Lightning Lane for an evening slot. That costs money but guarantees an evening ride. You could also show up late for your boarding group, but I wouldn’t fully recommend that. You may get a cast member who is cool with that, but you risk missing out on the ride if the CM enforces the return window.

I appreciate this channel because it exemplifies the insanity that is "planning" a trip to Disney. How are people not completely turned off at the idea of paying a fortune to visit a place that has post barriers to entry? You can go on European and Asian vacation with more activities for a fraction of these costs. It is insane to pay extra to cut lines only to have to prepare months in advance. Then there is no guarantee the ride will work, oh and the fast lanes may bypass story.

@@WaltonFarmPolo park tickets are at least $109 a day alone. That is not inclusive of food, flight, or lodging. I literally travel the world. That $109 guarantees you very little other than waiting in lines. I guess you can watch the "shows" but Disney on Broadway is more affordable and better.
@Guide2WDW2 ай бұрын
I appreciate you sharing your opinion, and I definitely understand where the sentiment is coming from. There are parts of the Disney World planning process that I wish were way simpler, especially Virtual Queue and Genie+. That's part of the reason why I made this channel, to help simplify things and make sure people get the most out of the money they spend. I still think a Disney vacation is worth it, especially if you do some research ahead of time. If I didn't, I wouldn't spend my own money to go as much as I do. I also would stop making videos about it. But most forms of travel is going to feature some complexity. International travel can be extremely complex. It involves getting a passport, currency exchanges, cell phone roaming and data plans, and languages you may not be familiar with. You also are best served by doing research ahead of time to find out the most worthwhile activities, accommodations, and dining. These are also barriers to entry for many people. But it's still worth it to have these types of experiences. Whether you'd rather deal with the complexity for that type of trip over a Disney trip is totally a personal preference, and that's fine.
