Just FYI that southwest easily refunds points or money when the rates drop. I just had that happen for my October flights and I was able to easily process the refunds on my app.

They will refund dollars now? I thought you only got credits for future travel?

Disney: "Starting Sept. 23, we will pause the use of virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios may experience this incredible attraction using a traditional standby queue for the first time since it opened in 2019."

This only applies for Disney World. Disneyland the VQ will still be in place for now.

ETA: Experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Like Never Before at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

From the Parks Blog Post: "Virtual queues continue to be helpful with attraction access, merchandise launches, grand openings and more, and guests should continue to check the My Disney Experience app for the latest on how we’re using virtual queues across Walt Disney World Resort including its potential use at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at a later date, or from time to time."

Guessing this has something to do with Genie+?

Holy...! That's HUGE! No VQ is awesome! I assume now, it will have Standby or the Paid Individual Attraction entry only.

wow. I have to imagine that it does.

That will be one looooong line. This may exert some upward pressure on IA$.

They're going to do this so that people are willing to pay $20 a person to not stand in those lines. They know exactly what they're doing.

AND....this means that NO ONE will be on any of the other rides in HS, since they'll all be in this line!

SCORE!

Yeah. I'll be getting there EARLY to be at the front of the Rope-Drop pack, then the day is free and open!

No need to open more entertainment options when they use the ROTR line as a people eater.

This was my thought as I was reading it. The only way to ride is what I assume will be a very long line or pay to skip that. I mean, it makes me consider paying for it when we go and I ridden it twice at DL.

Let’s see what happens with Remy….

People would have paid anyway when they didn't get a boarding group - lots of people got shut out every day! This will make the advantage more visible though, but overall I think it's a good change. I hated the VQ process!

 

[snikki]

RD at DHS is going to be insane !

 

[Avery&Todd]

Yeah. I'll be getting there EARLY to be at the front of the Rope-Drop pack, then the day is free and open!

YES!! and that 30-min early entry will certainly come in handy to the hotel guests that qualify!!

 

[JoJoGirl]

Actually good news that RotR will be siphoning off so many rope droppers. That will provide some relief for the other lines early in the day.

My plan will be to do what I do with FoP, get in line right before closing time. And maybe rope drop if I want to ride twice.

SCORE!

I agree completely. While I love it I was soured by how many times it broke down on me the last trip in August it is no longer a must-do for me.
Incredible experience when it works.

If I can walk on to Falcon, Tower or Aerosmith as a result I will gladly do so.

We aren’t going until next year but this really lowers the pressure and anxiety I had over this ride.
