MAJOR Virtual Queue Change Coming to Disney World

This past week was a big one in Disney World, with SEVEN different attractions opening (or officially opening) on May 26th. Many of them are in celebration of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, but others are planning to be around long after the event ends on September 8th.

Bluey’s Wild World

One of the biggest new additions has been Bluey’s Wild World in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Here, families can play games with Bluey and Bingo, enjoy a dance party, see some animals native to Australia at Jumping Junction, and so much more. Disney anticipated it would be incredibly popular, so starting on opening day, a Virtual Queue was put into place. However, now it’s been confirmed by Disney themselves that the Virtual Queue will soon be NO MORE!

According to the Walt Disney World website, the Virtual Queue for Bluey’s Wild World will be in place through June 1st, but after that, the attraction will be available to all guests at any time during operating hours.

The reason for this change could be many different things, but seeing as that it HAS been a very popular attraction, we don’t think it’s due to a lack of interest. Instead, we noticed that guests weren’t allowed to hop on the Wildlife Express over to Bluey’s Wild World until their Virtual Queue group was called, BUT your Virtual Queue wasn’t actually scanned until you were at the doors to enter the 14-minute show. This meant that not only was there a pretty big backup to get into the show, but people were also concerned that their Virtual Queue would technically expire before they got to tap in, even though they were physically in place and just waiting in line.

This line can take a while

Additionally, part of the line is inside, and while that’s great from a temperature standpoint, it meant that people often heard the show 2-3 times before they actually got to see it. Meaning, once they finally got to SEE it, it was already old for them, since the show doesn’t change at all. We can imagine how tiring that would get, especially since it’s a LOUD show!

Let’s party!

What does no more Virtual Queue mean for you, though? Well, you’ll no longer need to get up at 7 AM for the first drop, or try again at 10 AM, but it DOES mean that we could see lines for the Wildlife Express and/or the actual show line get pretty long. Currently, the train isn’t equipped to hold too long a line, so we’re really curious to see how Cast Members may manage it if/when it gets long. Your best bet may be to truly rope drop this attraction, or wait until later in the day, but keep in mind that many other people may have the same idea!
