Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Guardians virtual queues going away at Walt Disney World
You can soon sleep in a little later at Walt Disney World without worrying about missing two of the most popular attractions at the Florida resort.
Starting Feb. 25, Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will no longer operate by virtual queue.
Currently, you need to either secure a spot in the free virtual queue or pay for Lightning Lane access to ride them. For guests who don't want to pay extra, that means either waking up early to attempt to join the virtual queue at 7 a.m. or trying again from within each ride's respective park at 1 p.m. Guests then need to wait on for their virtual queue boarding group to be called to enjoy the ride.

Moving to a traditional stand-by queue not only eliminates the chance of missing out on the rides entirely but also gives guests more flexibility in planning their park days. Some guests have been asking for this change.
Once it takes effect, there will be no virtual queues operating at Disney World. Every attraction will be available through a stand-by line.
Guardians is the most popular ride at EPCOT. Guests who don't want a long wait can still buy a Lighting Lane Single Pass for the attraction. Tiana's is one of the most popular rides at Magic Kingdom and is available with Lightning Lane Multi Pass.
