Star Wars Virtual Queue Returns at Disney World
The Virtual Queue has returned to Walt Disney World. Get full details for how and when to use it.
Disney World Virtual Queue
A virtual queue is a lottery-type system that gives you a boarding group. Once you enter the queue and successfully obtain your boarding group, you go about your day as normal until your boarding group is called.
This can be done through the Disney World and Disneyland apps for any rides, special experiences, or merchandise events that require it.
A virtual queue was first introduced with Rise of the Resistance and was later used for the opening of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle/Run, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Virtual Queue Returns
Over the years, Disney has made several adjustments to the Virtual Queue system. Although no attractions currently offer a Virtual Queue, the Virtual Queue remains on the My Disney Experience app.
Soon, two Virtual Queues will be activated for both Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs.
Both Virtual Queues will become active on May 4, 2026, for May the 4th merchandise.
