I agree.
Vinegar ice cream is a no for me as well. I'll stick with my fav ice cream shop in Epcot's France area.

Are you advocating that MORE people should get in line?

I mean, I would. I hate VQs though. I hope it's betteer than Gideons - and I really like Giedons, but last time I was given like a 7 hour return estimate. I cancelled that! I'd sooner fly to Anaheim for Salt & Straw, but, you know, that's possible!

Salt & Straw Will Use a Virtual Queue in Disney World

The virtual queue process is NOT just an opening day thing. Based on the information we got in speaking with Salt & Straw team members, once the line for the ice cream shop gets long each day, they’ll start using the virtual queue.

Here’s how it works (or at least how we saw it in action on opening day). There is an individual near Salt & Straw with an iPad. You’ll head to that individual to get checked in. Then, you’ll get a text when it’s time for you to come back. Once you receive that text, you’ll make your way back to Salt & Straw and hop in line to get in the ice cream store.

This is hilarious to me as Disneyland Local. It gets busy, yes, but I have literally never seen more than 20 people in line at the Downtown Disney location.

Not true. A bill passed the Florida Senate. It still has to go to the Florida House.

The bill, which, of course will pass the house, states that Reedy Creek would be dissolved on June 1, 2023.

Tampa Republican Rep. Jackie Toledo said “The company that Walt Disney started, which was a beacon of family values, has now been perverted by a woke mob of liberal extremists into a laboratory of gender identity social experimentation, in which our children are guinea pigs.”

They have online ordering available through ChowNow. I'm wondering how that works, because it's not specifying if/when a return time is available, and the only way to find out would be to place the order... My DH wants to go next week, and I'm thinking about scheduling an order ahead of time.

I was wondering the same thing-
I understand the no politics things, but it's odd when it's such a major news story.
