Haunted mansion virtual Que questions ?

There's a Remove Guests option. At WDW, if you remove the guest (including yourself) from the VQ, that person is eligible for the later queue. The key is that their group can't have been called - once the group is called, they're no longer eligible.

I don't know if anyone here has tried that at DLR.

Honestly, the best advice here would be to use your morning VQ slot whenever you actually get there. We're at least at 99% acceptance rate of late arrivals - the odds would be in your favor.

I was thinking more like if my kid decides he doesn't want to go once he sees the outside of the ride (before boarding party called), is there any chance of getting to go later when I'm in the park by myself.

Yes, you should be able to ride by yourself later.

In a practical sense, I think the best move would be to go ahead and jump into the 7am VQ. If you get called back at, say, 10am, and your son decides he doesn't want to go - just go when you can later in the day. Your return time expires after an hour, but they've been very very loose about letting in late arrivals so far (with a few rare refusals).

I mean, it's always possible they might turn you away. But that's been very rare so far. Unless something changes, you should be fine.

Is this still the case now?


We'll be there early but don't waste to waste rope drop first two hours doing this.
 
Any recent updates on how hard it is to experience Haunted Mansion Holiday with virtual que? Does it sell out in seconds? Is one of the two times more busy? I really want to ride this ride when I'm there in a few weeks & am stressing that there's no standby line or LL!

It is selling out quicker than it did back in July. But still fairly easy to get if you go on at 7am or noon.
 
We went on at 7 am yesterday. We got a number in the 30s which was called back just after 10 am.

I think it is going to get more difficult starting Friday. Normally, guests are not aware that HMH is VQ. There are large signs with QR codes and CM explaining how to sign up for a VQ. However, starting Friday, more people will be signing up for the Tiana's VQ and will likely be selecting HMH as well because it is listed in the app just above Tiana's.
 
I went on Saturday. I did the V about 7:15-7:20 AM (definitely not at 7 AM as I just did not think of it right away) and got group 52 or something like that. I did not arrive to the park until about 2:30. My group had been called several hours before, but I had no problem getting in. Although, it was my favorite cast member at that ride who scanned me in and said no worries about being late.
 
Please don't hate me for this, but as a retired English teacher I just want to mention that in VQ, the 'Q' stands for queue (which means line). I guess que is becoming a colloquialism or possibly autocorrect is at fault, but it isn't an actual word (yet), at least not in English. It's pronounced Q.

Hah, amen, DizMe! I'm a writer/editor, so "alternative spellings" for "queue" get to me, too! I also sometimes see people write "cue," which of course is a word that has nothing to do with attraction lines.

Totally off-topic, but I'm going to use this moment to complain about my biggest grammar pet peeve on these boards so I don't bring it up in front of the people who do it:

The insane number of people who use the word "dinning" instead of "dining".

Like, is there some town in Wisconsin that refers to eating dinner as "dinning"? Is it pronounced like "dinner" or "diner"? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN.

Type "dinning" into the search box up top and enjoy the madness. :D

I am also a writer/editor. I love to find others “in the wild.” 😂

I do think queue is just not a common word for most Americans. I don’t think I ever used it before my Disney-speak began invading my everyday vernacular. 😂😂

I suppose "queue" is used more in the UK and that Americans tend to use "line." (Or "line up" for the verb form.) I didn't think it was rare in the States, but maybe it's more common in some places than others.

Years ago I was living with a guy who designed networking software for Bellcore (an offshoot of Bell Labs), and the first time we went to Disneyland he regaled me with explanations of how queueing theory applies to computer networks just like it does to human queues. 😄

Yes! Nine time out of 10 (maybe more!), I think Americans will use “line” rather than “queue.”

From what I read, a guest can have a VQ for Tiana’s OR HMH, but not both at the same time: If more than one attraction is using a virtual queue, Guests will need to enter those virtual queues one at a time. But Guests may enter a virtual queue for an attraction and one for entertainment or 2 entertainment offerings at the same time.

We got a HMH VQ on Saturday during the 12PM disbursement. Our group number was 131, and was called at 4:48 PM. Unfortunately we had to leave at 3, so we didn’t get to go.

Heads up at least for MK previews and say ROTR....you can get ROTR and Cars, and also have a Bayou VQ and HMH Q.

So I think we will be able to hit both starting Friday (HMH and Tia's Bayou)
