Disney has just shared a ton of new details regarding which attractions, entertainment, and shopping experiences we can start looking forward to enjoying when the theme parks reopen on July 11th and July 15th respectively.

And while we’ve known a new reservation system has been in the works for some time to help manage attendance levels, we suspected Disney World might also implement new virtual queues for its rides to aid in reducing crowds.BUT, that no longer seems to be the case.
Theme park reporter Scott Gustin first reported that Disney had begun informing Cast Members that virtual queues would NOT be used by ANY of the attractions at Disney World when the theme parks reopen. This INCLUDES Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios.Â
We reached out to a Disney Cast Member and were able to confirm that virtual queues will not be used for attractions upon reopening.

Single Rider lines will also be temporarily unavailable during the theme parks’ initial reopening phase.

I’m really hoping fast passes return sooner rather than later!
Has Disney released if the Savis lightsaber workshop will be open? Thanks for all the info! Your blog has been so helpful.
Erin, I’m glad we could help! Savi’s is NOT listed on Disney’s most recent list of attractions/stores opening. We are watching for any info that emerges on this.
Has there been any info on how Child Swap will work with the re-opening changes? Will the whole party need to come to the entrance? How will the second rider enter the ride? Will they have a separate entrance to use child swap passes?
Thank you all for your hard work keeping us informed! It is greatly appreciated!
Chris, I asked Disney about this yesterday, and the cast member in chat didn’t know for sure that it was coming or what it would look like if it did. She did expect Rider Switch to return, though.
