Guardians Will Open with VQ and ILL

[Mrs.AMC]

Im thinking of early days of RotR.

Which is rather irrelevant since that’s no longer how the VQ works

Never missed a VQ time. That was FAST. Definitely trying sell more ILLs. It worked on me got a 7pm ILL return.

Did you skip VQ and just go directly to purchasing ILL at 7am?

We are staying offsite. I can't believe I'm actually considering paying for a campsite for a night, just for the privilege to pay for ILL$ for this. But, its still cheaper than onsite so...

Not really. ILL$ would be underpriced if it sold out in seconds.

Disney is posting some of the tricks of the trade. Preselect your party and be ready to refresh.

We have just one day tickets. When will we be able to preselect our party?

After I didn't get the VQ, I quickly booked Frozen LL, and then booked ILL for Guardians, shown 11am return time but turned to 7pm by the time I finished purchase.

Will try VQ for Guardians at 1pm. This time use multiple devices.
Note: I am helping friends who are there from my home.

Not really. My point is VQ has evolved. Fewer tricks of the trade. Is this the first time Disney explicitly said VQs may be gone in seconds?
This is the first time, for a new attraction. a significant amount of inventory was diverted from VQ.

Assuming everyone in your party wants to ride and has valid tickets/park reservations, the system will automatically select your whole group. If certain people do not want to ride, you will need to unselect them.

Curious, for anyone who did get Virtual Queue, what resort were you staying at?

Using Disney will or cell data?

 

[Mrs.AMC]

Got a VQ spot at 1:00. Best part, it overlaps our ILL. We’ll ride almost back to back of the time estimate is right

I was on cell

 

[DLRExpert]

1pm was the charm.


My home setup

Congrats Do you have an estimate as to how long vqs were available at 1p

Longer than this morning but not by much. I was in the store at Epcot. You could tell about half, at least, the others were trying for the VQ at 1:00. Folks standing all along the window staring at their phones. At 1:00 a lot of cheers went up. Moments later groans.

Note, Cast Member stated that once your VQ BP is called there is no expiration.

Just like the old RotR BG days, standing in the dark at DHS!

Yep. It was exactly like that

 

[Jenkinsfanatic]

What do we think the chances are disney calls all the remaining boarding groups at the end of the night?

We are 224 and they are currently on 197 and estimated return time is 859.

Debating if we need to head back to epcot or not.

I can only report that one side was down for a period of time when we went through about 5:00. For a while neither side moved. We were bunched up coming out of the second pre show. Not sure how long it lasted but I’m sure it put them behind.

We were 159 and got called right at 5:00 to give you a reference

Appreciate the information! We saw the groups are well in the 200s and scurried back. I think the odds are in our favor.

Hope you enjoyed the ride!
