do I have to have a boarding group for GOTG or is there a standby line option? I believe boarding groups have to be done at 7am is that also correct or am confusing that with a virtual queue?
Virtual Queue information is shared in detail in this thread. Post 1 for GotG and post 2 for Tron.do I have to have a boarding group for GOTG or is there a standby line option? I believe boarding groups have to be done at 7am is that also correct or am confusing that with a virtual queue?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just change your park pass reservations to Magic Kingdom for that day. Then you don’t need to tap in to a different park or even Mk for the 6 pm (I believe; someone correct me if I’m wrong).Sorry, I've tried to keep up with this thread but I've seen differing reports online about one thing. Do you have to have tapped into your first park of the day (with park hoppers) in order to be eligible for the 6PM EEH Tron or Guardians VQ? I've seen people say that even with park hoppers, if they tapped in for their first park of the day, they were still ineligible for the EEH VQs because they were supposed to have tapped into the park hosting the EEH. So, do you have to have tapped into either MK or EP in order to be eligible for the 6PM EEH Tron or Guardians VQ? Lastly, if neither of those things is true, can you attempt the 6PM EEH VQ without having tapped into ANY park for the day?
Thank you for any responses. I thought it might be nice to just roll up to a park for the EEH and take the morning/afternoon off, but then I read people said you must have tapped into a park (any park with park hopper). Then I started reading that actually, you have to have tapped into the EEH park before 6PM. I was just hoping for some more recent experiences.
The Deluxe Drop is at 6 pm on Wednesdays.no standby - boarding or ILL only at this time. There is a separate boarding group drop at 1:00 as well, and for evening extra hours, a drop at 5:00 I believe.
I just wanted to confirm that we were able to get rider switch for VQ and for ILL. Very easy and they had several cast members set up doing this. If the ride breaks down while the first party is in the que, in our case, the first party was given the option to wait or leave with no compensation (this was VQ, not ILL), but I was able to talk to guest services and they were able to give them a new boarding group (I told them to leave eventually because we had an ADR--the cast member did verify the time of the breakdown and the time of our ADR before giving the new boarding group). Originally our rider switch remained, but when the cast member reissued the boarding group they told us we would need to re-setup the rider switch, which we did.Do we know if Rider Switch is offered? I know everyone riding needs to have a VQ but wondering if the waiting parent has to go alone and what if the ride breaks down when the first party is in queue (at ROTR for a LLI$ they issued an anytime pass at 8 pm and that changed automatically to a multi experience pass after park close because no one got to ride it; I had to talk to a CM to switch it to Epcot because we exited the park after Fantasmic).
That’s great that they issued another BG when the ride broke down.I just wanted to confirm that we were able to get rider switch for VQ and for ILL.

I just want to be clear so I don't get anyone's hopes up--they did not do this automatically--I had to ask, and I wouldn't assume I would have gotten the same treatment if I had happened to talk to a different cast member. They definitely wouldn't have done it if we hadn't had the ADR conflict as the cast member called someone and verified the ride's down time and matched it to our ADR.That’s great that they issued another BG when the ride broke down.
Yes. Tron has very strict return time requirements vs GOtGI just want to be clear so I don't get anyone's hopes up--they did not do this automatically--I had to ask, and I wouldn't assume I would have gotten the same treatment if I had happened to talk to a different cast member.

I would really appreciate anyone sharing recent experience with this as well. We'll be going to MK on our first day after driving in, so would be nice to know if we could try the 7am drop - cancel it if looks like we wont make it on time, and then try again at 1pm once we've tapped into the park.Can I just double check that someone’s got experience of removing EVERYONE from the boarding group and then trying again at 1pm? We’re coming across from Universal on our first MK day and won’t be in the park for opening. Ideally we’d like to ride before lunch (and so would want to get a boarding group at 7am) but if it looks like our boarding group is likely to be called before we get there, then being able to “cancel” it and try again at 1pm would be great!

yes that’s too late. It’s gone in 2-3 secondsDoes anyone know how quickly the VQ at Tron is going for the 7 AM drop? I.e. if I try to get it at 7:01 is it too late?
Do they still let you on Guardians after your boarding group window is over? Somehow got group 1 and won't be close to making it
So I got a boarding group at the 7am drop the first day for all 5 of my family. Since my youngest was too short she never scanned in her band to enter the VQ. At the 1pm drop she was eligible without me having to do anything. I don't think you need to "cancel." Just don't scan in.I would really appreciate anyone sharing recent experience with this as well.
