Disney World Special Events

Even though summer has only just begun, Disney is already looking towards the upcoming holiday season. They have already released plans for both Halloween and Christmas. Beginning in August, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will begin. Then, in November we will have Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Both special events will take place at the Magic Kingdom.

Disney also announced that a brand new event, Disney Jollywood Nights, will be held at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to celebrate the holiday season. You can read more about the exciting details for this event HERE.

Virtual Queues

Love them or hate them, virtual queues are now pretty common at Walt Disney World. Disney began using virtual queues for Rise of the Resistance. It was a learning curve for both Disney and Disney Guests as kinks were worked out, but now they are relatively easy to use. Since then, Disney has also used virtual queues for rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Cosmic Rewind along with special characters like Santa.

Virtual queues will be used for both Tron: Lightcycle Run during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and also for Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Jollywood Nights.

One unique thing about this year at special events this year is that virtual queues will be used. Virtual queues are currently being used for Tron Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

What To Know

An opportunity to request to join the virtual queue will be available at 6:00 PM for Guests attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to enter this attraction. A standby queue for this attraction will not be available during the event. Each Guest can request to enter this virtual queue no more than once per event.

We suspect the same time will also be in place for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney Jollywood Nights as well. However, more details will be given at a later date.
