Not really a lottery at all, as the article calls it. It's more of a Fast Finger Furious exercise. I think it would really be better if one could put a virtual ticket in MDE and have the selections made randomly at a certain time.

The only ride that will have more demand and less supply will be TRON. I'd love to listen in on the guest relations phone lines when that thing opens!

Wonder how it will work for extended hours for deluxe resort guests ?

I wonder how long it will operate in this condition.

Who says it will be available in extended hours? Imagine the cost savings of shutting it down at 9:00. [/chapek]

If you use Ratatouille as a guide, it was added to Extended Evening Hours about 2 months after opening.

Unsurprising. Now it’s just a question of how high they go for ILL prices.

I’m guessing … *checks stock price*… they will push the envelope and do $20.

 

[Giss Neric]

So does that mean we can book a VQ AND buy an ILL in one day?

 

[yensid1967]

If the past few months/years showed any indication of what they would charge for LL for this attraction...I am betting that IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST, followed by Ton when it opens...just for the fact that they have been long-anticipated rides and guests will pay to ride!

I could see them charging $25+ for Guardians and Tron, when they open!

Does anyone know how this works in terms of having a park reservation / hopper? Would I be able to try for a virtual spot if my reservation is for an MK day? Since I have a park hopper I would assume I could? But then I would need to get a time after 2pm? Never done this before (and not sure I’ll even need to as I don’t go until November).

You'll need an EPCOT reservation for the Virtual Queue.

“Guests visiting from another theme park using an Annual Pass or the Park Hopper option may not be able to join the virtual queue in a park where they do not have a Disney Park Pass reservation. In order to request access to a virtual queue during Park Hopper hours, a Guest must be inside the theme park where the virtual queue will be used.”

Twenty dolla, twenty dolla, do we have twenty one? Twenty two?

Is that really any different from virtually any other ride? Stuff like the Boarding Groups and ILL just impact who gets to be the people riding, not the overall capacity. Even with a straight standby line, only some "paying guests" would be able to ride

You have a choice though, you don’t have to get in a six hour line but you could if it was important to you. VQ eliminates your choice.

 

[mightynine]

So does that mean we can book a VQ AND buy an ILL in one day?

Sure. One doesn't preclude the other.

I did that for Rat - bought an ILL (the only one I've ever purchased) because I missed the morning VQ and then joined the afternoon VQ when it opened. Just depends on if they do two VQ drops for Guardians.

If there's just one VQ drop, it's possible that trying to get into it rather than an ILL would mean the ILLs will sell out before you could get one. Vice versa, jumping into the ILL fight would mean joining the VQ with a group number unlikely to be reached.
