Virtual Queues at Disneyland

Originally only used on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, virtual queues are becoming more common and could continue to be used on more and more attractions while the FastPass system is paused. Before you arrive, know how to join virtual queues, when they're used and any restrictions in place so that you can experience every attraction possible.

Think of virtual queues like a FastPass without a definite return time. It holds your place in line and lets you know when it's your turn so you can return to the attraction and wait for a much shorter period of time. They're not as easy to get as FastPasses but are completely free and open up walkways that would normally be crowded with guests.

Currently, there are 3 attractions that use the virtual queue system but it doesn't work exactly the same for all of them. It's important to remember that you are only permitted to join virtual queue (or "boarding group") for each attraction once per day so this is not something that will help you experience rides over and over again.

Rise of the Resistance & WEB Slingers

The virtual queue for both Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Galaxy's Edge) and WEB Slingers (Avengers Campus) operate the same. Boarding groups become available twice a day:

• 7 AM - You must have a park reservation for the same park as the attraction (Disneyland for ROTR, DCA for WEB Slingers) but it doesn't matter where you physically are.
• 12 PM - You must have either a park reservation for the same park as the attraction or a Park Hopper ticket and must have entered a theme park that day.

Boarding groups fill up fast and are the only way to experience these attractions currently. You are not permitted to be in a boarding group for both Rise of the Resistance and WEB Slingers "at the same time" meaning that you have to pick one to join at 7am and the other to join at noon (clarified by CMs - this is the only way you'd be able to do it anyway, but whatever).

WEB Slingers can only be accessed with boarding groups

Rise of the Resistance has used boarding groups since it opened

Indiana Jones Adventure

This is a relatively recent addition to the virtual queue system and is only intended to be used when needed. Always check the app to see whether the stand-by line is available or if they are only utilizing boarding groups. Once they decide they need it, boarding groups are made available multiple times throughout the day so it's important to check back regularly to increase your chances of snagging a spot. It's typical that Cast Members end the day by closing the virtual queue and using the stand-by only.

Joining a Boarding Group

Before you try to join a boarding group, you'll need to download the Disneyland app and create a free Disney account. Once you have that set up and you're logged into your profile on the app, follow these steps to get in the virtual queue:

1. From the app homepage, click on "Join Boarding Group" to see available attractions.
2. If boarding groups are available, click on the blue "Join" button.
3. Select your party members.
4. Sit back and wait!

TIPS FOR SNAGGING BOARDING GROUPS

• If you're trying to get on Rise of the Resistance or WEB Slingers, click on "Join Boarding Group" from the homepage before 7am or noon and refresh the page by pulling down on the screen regularly. The moment the "Join" button appears, jump on it!
• Link the tickets of your boarding party to your profile before you enter the virtual queue or you may not all end up in the same boarding group.
• Use your mobile network and avoid WiFi unless you already know it's fast and trustworthy. NEVER use Disneyland WiFi and, if you're staying at a local hotel, just stay in your room to snag a group at 7am.
