Queue photos when ride closed?

[nervous1sttimer]

We have been to WDW several times since 2012 now, and always get a photo of my kids behind the bars with Emperor Zurg at Buzz. I am sad that it will be closed when we are there in January because it is one of my son's favourites, but even sadder we might not get our traditional photo. Any chances we can get in the queue just for this photo op?

I would think not... If the ride is closed for renovation, it might be dangerous for guests to enter even the queue. However, I don't think it does any harm to ask a couple of CMs when you get there. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Nope. No way.

isn't the Zurg photo op in the shop after the ride exit though, as opposed to in the queue?
So the shop may still be open?

Not if that area is closed.

I wouldn't "think" that the Merchandise Shop would be open.

When an attraction is closed, they tend to put a wall up to keep the flow of traffic moving away from the closed attraction. There won't be an opening to go to to talk to a CM, IMO.

Plus it would likely be turned off if the ride is closed.
