The BIG Update You Need to Know for Virtual Queues at Disney World

Guests hoping to enter the grid today for the grand opening of TRON will want to know about this BIG update. What do you think about this?

TRON Official Opening

TRON is a coaster like none other in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. This attraction is so different than other attractions, so be sure to check out everything that you need to know about riding TRON HERE.

Tron Lightcycle/Run officially opens today, April 4, 2023. However, from March 20th through April 2nd, guests had the early opportunity to experience TRON Lightcycle/Run during a limited soft opening.

A virtual queue will be utilized with TRON Lightcycle / Run. Guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to reserve a space for the attraction. A standby queue will not be available. Each Guest can enter the virtual queue no more than once per day during regular park hours.

Boarding groups for a virtual queue are limited, subject to availability, and are not guaranteed. Not all boarding groups may be called to return, based on the availability of the experience.

BIG Update

Guests receive notifications when their boarding group is called.  In the past, guests could return at any time after their Boarding Group was called. We experienced this at both Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and also Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

During the soft opening, guests were told that they must return during their Boarding Group return time. If they arrive later, they were turned away. A Cast Member working on this attraction confirmed this. Now Disney has made this an official policy for this attraction.

Disney now states “Late arrivals may not be accommodated.” It is important to note that Boarding Group return times may be called way earlier than what is estimated when first joining a Boarding Group.

Disney now states that “Late arrivals may not be accommodated” with Boarding Groups for TRON Lighcylce/Run.

Many were hoping this change simply applied to the soft opening, but now it is official that guests have an hour window to return for their boarding group to enjoy TRON Lightcycle at the Magic Kingdom.
