food IS a theme park
Crowds
So far, we’ve shown you what the crowds have been like today and talked briefly about some of the wait times we were noticing. Now we’re going to share with you a more in-depth look at what the wait times have looked like in Disney’s Hollywood Studios so far today.
At this time, Disney World hasn’t revealed what their virtual queue system will look like when the theme parks reopen in July. But it seems like it is all but certain Disney will implement SOME sort of virtual queue experience, but it’s scope and intricacies are unknown at this time!
World of Disney Virtual Queue sign

At Universal Orlando, not every attraction had virtual queues, so we may not see EVERY ride and attraction at Disney World add one. That said, we have a few ideas for which rides we think TOTALLY need a Virtual Queue in Disney World.

It’s hard to find someone not impacted by the latest events and it’s no surprise that Disney World is feeling the effects, too. But if the closures weren’t enough, experts are predicting that Disney World may also have to battle another massive problem this year… .
