We decided to go around the park’s large circle, starting with the outdated Spaceship Earth in a slow climb into the globe and back into history, ending with the work of Steve Jobs over forty years ago. Jeff had jumped into the virtual queue right as it opened so we knew that we had until early afternoon to explore. We got to the gates just as it opened for all guests and planned our day around our reserved time for the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride. ![]() Both kids continued their routine of getting up on time to get out of the door, although each morning it got harder and harder to do so. Instead of depending on the public transit, we chose to drive ourselves and take advantage of the free parking for staying in a Disney resort. ![]() Get those fast fingers ready the virtual queue. On the select nights of Extended Evening Hours, eligible Deluxe Resort guests may request to join the virtual queue at 6 p.m. Each guest may only join the virtual queue once per day. We were determined to do better this time around. You can attempt to join the virtual queue at 7 a.m. We still enjoyed everything that we could out of our day at Epcot, but it was far from a successful trip, and while it was never destined to be our favorite park, none of us were satisfied with our original visit. It might be unfair, but he hasn’t lived that down in the six years since. The extended opening for the Virtual Queue also meant that today, for the first time ever, TRON has been available to park-hopping guests arriving from another park. We spent the first two hours in the park walking past one delicious looking restaurant after another, our daughter and I longing for some Mexican or Chinese food, and straight to the back of the park where we could have plain old American mac and cheese and burgers, all because our six-year-old wouldn’t be satisfied with anything but that and we all needed the attitude change that would come as soon as he was fed. TRON Lightcycle Runs 1pm Virtual Queue remained open for 93 minutes today, a massive increase from the usual 4 to 7 seconds. (UPDATE 4/7/23 Over in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, the new ride TRON Lightcycle Run has been using the Virtual Queue and boarding groups since opening on April 4, 2023. Disney World stopped offering this perk when it closed in 2020, and Extra Magic Hours hasn’t fully returned since then. On certain days, parks would either open 1 hour early or stay open 2-3 hours late just for these guests. By the time we fed them, took the ferry to Magic Kingdom and then the Monorail to Epcot, we were nearing lunchtime and the edge of hangry for our son. Extra Magic Hours was a perk for all Disney World hotel guests and certain Good Neighbor Hotel guests. Only guests who have purchased individual Lightning Lane access or snagged a virtual queue boarding group can ride the new attraction. Our kids were troopers into the late night hours but dragging to get out of bed each morning. TRON Lightcycle / Run soft opened at Magic Kingdom ahead of its official grand opening on April 4, 2023. ![]() Our kids were six and eight and we were sucking every minute we could out of every day in the Disney parks. Our first ever trip to Epcot was a certifiable disaster.
