Heads Up! Virtual Queue Is Returning to Disney's Hollywood Studios

It’s been a while, but Virtual Queue is coming back to Disney World in ten days!

Hollywood Studios

Can you feel that? The force has been getting stronger as we get closer to May the Fourth! May the Fourth is getting closer and closer, and Star Wars fans already have Disney’s Hollywood Studios booked. Star Wars Day is going to bring exclusive snacks and merchandise to the park, and we’re excited to check it all out. Another thing the day is bringing is a virtual queue, something we haven’t seen at Disney World for a little bit. Let’s take a look at the details!

We LOVE May the 4th at Disney World, and Disney goes all out to celebrate Star Wars at Hollywood Studios. After all, who doesn’t want to celebrate Star Wars?! Of course, we love gathering with all the fans and trying out the unique snacks and drinks. However, our favorite thing might be the exclusive merchandise — and we know we’re not alone in that feeling!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

When it comes to exclusive merchandise for Star Wars Day, it’s no secret that EVERYONE is going for it — literally everyone! So, Disney World is bringing back the virtual queue to make buying merch a little less chaotic. Both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs will have a virtual queue in place for their May the 4th merchandise events.

Savi’s Workshop

You’ll need to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience App. That will allow you to participate in the May the 4th merchandise event virtual queues that will be in place at select locations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs.

Stormtroopers!

If you’re hoping to join the virtual queue for merchandise at Hollywood Studios, you’ll need a valid theme park admission and reservation (if applicable). You can request to join the Disney’s Hollywood Studios virtual queue starting at 7 AM ET on May 4th, 2026.

Droid Depot merchandise

If you aren’t going to Hollywood Studios and you want to shop at Disney Springs, that virtual queue will open starting at 9 AM on May 4th, 2026.

Disney Springs!

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ event, you can enjoy the convenience of mobile checkout for merchandise. Just check to see what’s available in the My Disney Experience app while shopping, and scan merchandise items as you shop to pay right on your phone. It makes for a pretty smooth shopping experience.

If you’re looking to get some Star Wars merchandise beforehand, so you have a fit for the big event, you’ve got to check out the online Disney Store. They have some pretty cool stuff that we’d consider to be the best in the galaxy! Check out this X-Wing Sweater.

There’s a lot more Star Wars merchandise online if you check out the Disney Store, so we think you should see if there’s anything you’d like to wear for the celebration. We’re looking forward to it! For more Disney news and updates, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog.
