It’s Presidents’ Day and Princess Marathon week.It's interesting that the VQ is going so much faster right now. The parks aren't supposed to be busier now so what's the explanation? It doesn't seem like they'd be giving out a smaller number of VQs.

Just looking back a year shows somewhat a difference.It's not just this week, though -- it's been almost the entire year thus far. There have only been a handful of days where the afternoon VQ lasted more than 5-10 minutes. It used to last for hours most days.
Seems like a couple of possibilities. As people are more familiar, they "get better" at the VQ game, making them "run out" more quickly.Just looking back a year shows somewhat a difference.
Tuesday (2/21) through Friday (2/24) were in thr 5-15 mins range in 2023, but Wednesday (2/21) through Thursday (2/22) similar for 2024.
Not sure if it's just recency bias but I do feel like drops have been going quicker overall, whether if it's a slow period at the parks or not.

Or Disney has reduced the number of VQ spots available to increase ILL sales. Without a standby line, that seems easy to manipulate - if there are 10,000 available rides per day, and the only way to ride is by securing a free VQ or pay for an ILL, Disney can just shift to few VQs and more ILLs to increase revenue.
Now if you'll excuse me, my tinfoil hat needs polishing.
