It looks like we’re going to have to retrain ourselves, because Virtual Queue is coming back to Disney World!

Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is undergoing a lot of construction for upcoming projects. Monstropolis is progressing rapidly, and we’re getting ready for the opening of both the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and the Walt Disney Studios. Disney announced that Annual Passholder previews are coming for The Muppets rollercoaster, and the virtual queue is coming with it.

Annual Passholder previews are coming for Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets on May 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. Disney confirmed that Annual Passholders will have to join a virtual queue in order to get a chance at riding the ride.

For these previews, the virtual queue is going to have three windows of opportunity for Passholders to join. The first virtual queue will open at 7 AM for Passholders with a Hollywood Studios reservation. The second virtual queue will open at 11 AM for Passholders with a reservation to any park for that day. However, you’ll need to scan into whatever park holds your reservation before heading to Hollywood Studios. The third, and final virtual queue, will open at 3 PM for Passholders with valid admission — no park reservation is required.

Make sure you’re on the My Disney Experience app, and you’re ready when the times hit. Virtual queues can fill up very fast, and it might leave you with nothing. Once it’s full, it won’t reopen till the next window. Once all those are full, you’ll have to wait for the next day.

Virtual Queue was briefly at Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Day on May the 4th. The virtual queue was being used for shopping experiences to get exclusive merchandise. So, you may have had the chance to get yourself a little used to the system, if you participated, since Disney World hasn’t used this system for a little while now.

With the virtual queue system coming back for The Muppets rollercoaster Passholder previews, it has us wondering if it’s coming back for anything else. The new version of Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run, featuring Mando and Grogu, debuts on May 22nd, but there hasn’t been any word of a virtual queue to preview that.

Looking very far ahead in the future, some of the new lands at Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom could be using a virtual queue for previews. Disney hasn’t said anything yet (which makes sense considering they aren’t close to done), but it wouldn’t be surprising. We’re not anticipating virtual queue will be used for everyday guests when those lands open, but it’s been used in the past for attractions, so there’s always that possibility.

Encanto is coming to Animal Kingdom!

For now, we’ll focus on the virtual queue that is coming for Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring The Muppets, before the attraction officially opens for guests on May 26th. Remember, the virtual queue will be for Annual Passholders only! Once the attraction opens to the public on the 26th, Disney has confirmed that they are not using virtual queues.

We can’t wait for the new version of the popular roller coaster to open. Hopefully, the virtual queue process goes smoothly for all of us. We’re always on top of all the latest Disney news and updates, so make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog, and you won’t miss a thing!
