Perhaps and Unpopular Opinion, but I think this is a pretty good way to do it. Gives folks the opportunity to go in without paying but gives the folks visiting from out a state a near guaranteed way to get on.
Worked well for us on Guardians at EPCOT.
I agree. I hated the hunger games VQ experience that was Rise of the Resistance, but we couldn't use a DAS unless we got a boarding pass. It was such a stressful situation.
I'll gladly pay the $ILL for our first ride through, and then just try for the VQ on future visits.
