Seems like a couple of possibilities. As people are more familiar, they "get better" at the VQ game, making them "run out" more quickly.

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 fewer VQs and more ILLs to increase revenue.

Now if you'll excuse me, my tinfoil hat needs polishing.

I was actually wondering this too -- if they'd cut back on the free VQ spots in order to have more ILLs available.

One other thing/stat that popped up in my mind is that the BG average has decreased since last year. Previously it was a BG/3-4 mins, now it's somewhere a BG/5 mins. Because of this, less overall BGs are being called on a given day.

A year ago, BG 183 was the last called for the day. Today, just BG 151. No downtimes for either comparison.

This could support the theory that VQ capacity has decreased, and/or the VQ/ILL ratio has changed. ILL still sells out regularly fairly early in the day also.

Does anyone know if they stopped letting you return to guardians at any time as long as you had a virtual queue spot? This morning I got group 16 and when I checked it now it says my return window has expired and it deleted it off my Disney experience. It’s now showing an option to be in the park at 1pm and book another queue. Have they finally forced you to return during the window?

It should still show under “My Day” and the VQ section of the app. I’m not aware of any changes with Guardians.
