Y’all, everything is changing SO FAST in Disney World. We’ve even already seen quite a few changes this year, from the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the reopening of a newly re-themed Country Bear Jamboree.

Magic Kingdom

But Disney World is JUST getting started with changes because many more are coming! Magic Kingdom is getting both a Villains-themed land and a Cars-themed land. Hollywood Studios is getting a Monsters, Inc. land and a villains-themed show (we’re loving all this villains love, by the way). A ride in Magic Kingdom will be changing soon, too, so if you have plans to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run on your next trip, you’ll need to mark September 9th in your Disney World calendar.

Since Tron Lightcycle / Run opened in 2023, you’ve been able to ride one of two ways. The first way is by purchasing a Lightning Lane Single Pass (previously known as Individual Lightning Lane). The second was by trying to get a FREE spot in the ride’s virtual queue. However, that’s about to change.

Disney recently announced that the Tron virtual queue will be going away as of September 9th. It will be replaced with a standard standby line instead. That means on that date and after, you’ll have to either get in the ride’s standby line or purchase the Lightning Lane Single Pass for it to ride.

This means if you’re visiting on September 8th or BEFORE, you’ll still want to use the My Disney Experience app to grab that virtual queue spot or purchase the Lightning Lane Single Pass. After September 9th, though, virtual queue will no longer be available and you’ll have to go stand in the standby line of purchase Single Pass to get in the shorter Lightning Lane.

This could mean that the standby line will be pretty long on September 9th and after, so getting that Lightning Lane Single Pass could be your best option if you don’t want to wait in line for a long time. However, it could also mean that Lightning Lane Single Pass could become a VERY popular option for the ride, so you’ll want to grab it as early as you can (and remember you can pre-book those passes BEFORE your trip either seven days in advance if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel or three days if you’re not).

So you’ll want to keep that in mind if you’re visiting Magic Kingdom on or after September 9th.
