Haunted Mansion and the Virtual Queue

[disneymouse16]

My parents are going to Disneyland and don't really understand VQ. Can I, at home, log into their account and get them a VQ? They are there the weekend Tiana's opens so could I theoretically get them a VQ for that from home as well?

They haven't announced how they are going to handle Tiana's yet. 7 am HMH VQ can be done at home. One must be in the park for the noon VQ.

Do your parents not understand what VQ is or how to sign up for it? If they have the app, they just need to scroll down to the fifth item and tap on the button that says "join virtual queue." It will take them to the VQ that are offered at Disneyland (currently only HMH). They select that and are done. If they set up alerts on their phone, they will receive an alert at their boarding time. I think it is easier for newbies than LLMP.

I would give them a tutorial because they will still need to know how to access the VQ to scan into the line.

They are easily frustrated by technology I haven't kept up with the VQ, the only time I used it was for Rise of the Resistance when that first opened. Does this one go super fast? I guess I can keep an eye on it and see what it looks like leading up.

It is usually available for an hour or more after each drop.

A few reactions, partially in case somebody can correct me on any of this:

1) Assuming Tiana's is using a VQ opening weekend: you'll likely only be able to enter one VQ at a time. So, for example, if they jump in the VQ for HMH at 7am, they won't be able to enter the VQ for Tiana's until after they're called to ride HMH. (I don't believe they have to have ridden the ride yet - I think they just have to have been called.)

2) Just for clarity from the wording - you'll have to use the app for this.

I'm assuming logging into their account on your app should work. The other option is to scan their tickets into your app, if you can. DLR doesn't have stuff tied to users the way that WDW does.

3) Assuming you have their tickets in your app - you should be able to book their 12pm VQ yourself as long as they've entered the park before then. The app's only going to care that the ticket has entered the park - it's not going to know that you're not there.

4) Compared to the ROTR era, it does function a bit differently, but it might even be a little bit more straightforward. It's basically just a series of confirmations.

5) My one personal reaction - depending on how often they go to DLR, I might gently suggest holding off until later in the weekend to try Tiana's, just to make sure it's operating well. If you look at the news stories for Tiana's at WDW, it was an operational nightmare all summer - a lot of downtime, and people having to spend an extended amount of time in the queue, often to have the queue cleared when it couldn't reopen. Hopefully, Disney took note of what happened and fixed those issues - but I'd hate for your parents to go through that if there's anything close to a repeat at DLR.

I didn't pay attention to WDW's opening. Did they have a month of CM and AP previews to test it out?

Yes they did. And it was down a lot of the time then too. My hope is that they learned from this and are making it so DL version doesn't have the same issues.

I think it was like three weeks. And it was a mess, too - a bunch of CMs completely missed out because it went down the day they were given to ride it, and they weren't given a replacement opportunity. Honestly, I was half-surprised they went through with opening day, knowing how badly previews went.

The biggest issue with WDW - the ride wasn't scheduled to open until August, and management decided it was "close enough" and moved up the timeline to capitalize on summer. I think it's safe to say now that it was not ready to open.

I’m not sure anyone answered this, but yes, you should be just fine to log into their account to get the VQ for them. Sometimes that can be a stressful process for those not great with technology.

Sidenote, Tiana’s will be very popular opening weekend. In case they use the VQ (which is likely), make sure their reservations start at Disneyland to try at 7am for Tiana’s. If you/they miss it at 7, you can bump over to grab one at HM and then try again for Tiana’s at the noon drop.

There were issues with the CM previews of Tiana’s at WDW, but we were there for several of the AP preview days and had no issues. I loved it!

Thanks guy!

They were not planning to go for Tiana's it was just a coincidence it is opening when they are there. They would have stood in line back in the old days so I figured if I can get them on they would enjoy rubbing it in our faces that they rode before us

Otherwise, they do enjoy HMH and I want to help them figure out how to do it or do it for them.

Friday, we were almost 7 hours late for our VQ due to a flight delay. They did not scan our pass until near the step to enter the Stretching Room, but the line extended all the way back to past the end of Tiana’s walls. This was right at 9pm, and it was also crazy because Fantasmic was showing. They didn’t say a word when we scanned in.

Yesterday, our group was called during our lunch at BB. We were about 15 minutes late, and they again didn’t say anything. I was prepared to show my dining reservation.

I'm going to be hours late for our VQ today. Did you screenshot your codes to show the cast member? I didn't know if they disappear once your boarding time has passed. Someone said they weren't able to get reservations at 7:00 a.m. recently so I joined right away when typically I would have waited a bit. I thought about releasing the passes, then trying again but didn't know if that would work or not.

You can’t release them and you can’t join again at noon if you already joined at 7am.

Mine have never disappeared from the app but you can always screen shot just in case. My biggest advice is try to join the queue when it’s not super long (like snaking past Tiana’s) and don’t say anything to the CM when you scan in. I’ve never been turned away.

Thank you, we'll give it a try!

Same advice as above. Just scan in and don't say anything unless they ask. I took screen shots just in case! Have fun!!

All the construction walls are down at the HM queue. There queue reopening may imminent.

All the construction walls are down at the HM queue. There queue reopening may imminent.

Is it the whole queue or just the extended queue? What I saw earlier today was just the extended queue had the walls down.
