food IS a theme park
Hold on to your Mickey ears because Disney Cruise Line might be testing a new feature that could totally change the way you cruise.
Disney Wish
Most people don’t enjoy waiting in line, especially on a cruise when there’s so much to do, and this experiment could help reduce in-person wait times.
Can you feel it? The force has a strong presence in the air right now, as Star Wars Day is almost here!
Millennium Falcon
There’s been a lot of Star Wars going on lately — with Seasons of the Force happening at Disneyland, Star Wars celebration bringing us new announcements for upcoming projects, and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith being re-released in theatres. Now we have some more news regarding Star Wars Day at Hollywood Studios!
Epic Universe is SO close to opening; we can taste it! Well, actually, we were recently lucky enough to visit Epic Universe and see all the lands and ride some rides ahead of its opening.
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
Now, one ride in particular, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, left our jaw on the floor, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be the most popular ride in the whole park — it even has a queue that can hold up to several hours’ worth of guests. Well, a 10-hour wait for a ride is impossible for a lot of folks, so will there be a solution? During a recent visit to the park, we noticed that a virtual queue has been put in place during Team Member previews, so most visitors won’t have to stand in line for hours to get a ride on the new attraction during this soft-opening phase.
There’s been a big shift at Magic Kingdom and it has us thinking 5 years ahead.
Magic Kingdom
In case you missed it, there are currently no more Virtual Queues at Disney World. That’s right, TRON Lightcycle/ Run ended their virtual queue earlier last year, but now Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind have ended theirs. But, we could see the effects of this for a while — let us explain.
It has been an exciting day at Disney World. Both Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom have eliminated virtual queues and now offer standby lines.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
That means there are currently no virtual queues in Disney World (although we will likely see more pop up in the future). Of course, we were in the parks checking things out first-hand, and we have some surprising takeaways to share with you!
Some HUGE changes are taking place in Disney World today! For now, there will be no more virtual queues, although we will likely see them return at some point.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Today is the first official day for standby queues at both Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. Of course, we will be bringing you full coverage of what the crowds and wait times look like today, but you may be wondering if these attractions will be available during Early Entry?
If you’ve been wanting to ride every ride on Disney property as many times as you’d like, the day has finally come.

This controversial Disney system is leaving Magic Kingdom and EPCOT tomorrow!
Another week, more Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World planning can be tough! There are so many things to think about like which snacks you want to try, the place you want to stay, the way you’re getting to the parks, and more. The fact that Disney is constantly changing doesn’t make it any easier so we’re wrapping up the the biggest Disney news stories from this week all in one place!
Well, Disney fans, we can finally hit snooze on that 6:55 AM alarm!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
For years, 7 AM has been the make-or-break moment for all of us Disney World guests hoping to secure a spot in the Virtual Queue for rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle / Run, or Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. If you weren’t up and ready to go, your shot at riding some of Disney’s biggest attractions without a long standby wait could be gone in seconds. But very soon that early morning stress will be officially over. Starting February 25, 2025, Disney World is officially doing away with Virtual Queues (for the time being), meaning you can roll out of bed whenever you want and still have a chance to ride. Let’s break down what this change means for your next Disney World trip.
Things are about to become quite interesting around Disney World — and not just because of all of the construction that’ll make the parks look totally different.
Magic Kingdom
But, Disney just announced that the Virtual Queues for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT will be going away for good on February 25th, and that’s going to be a game-changer for plenty of reasons — especially since that means there will be no more VQs in Disney World. But, we don’t recommend getting used to that just yet…
