By Leave a Comment

Disney World is in the midst of a massive transformation, with massive construction projects in the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom all set to open in the next few years.

First introduced in the late 2010s, the virtual queue system was introduced as a way to manage crowds on high-demand new attractions.

Something HUGE is happening in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but we bet you already knew that.
