EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

For all those mad about the prices now, I can remember back in the 80s when you could get a seasonal pass for $100. I even still have that pass in my collection and honestly this price increase across the board is no surprise. They introduced the fast pass system to boost attendance and get people hooked on a system. Now they are gonna start reeling people in and people will continuously swallow the hook thus disney will continue to reel in the dough one fish at a time. They will do it until it literally strangles the system for everyone else. If you need proof check out wet n wild before it closed down. They had people waiting 30 to 50 minutes at the bottom just to go up while express pass went up immediately and often repeatedly thus further increasing wait times. As for VQ, its not completely random sadly. It all depends on the quality of your data connection. You got hundreds if not thousands of people all connecting to the same place to get a spot your odds are higher if you can connect faster than most. Those who can pay for that better quality connection are more likely to get a spot than someone who can barely get 2 bars in the park.

You ll probably still be able to experience it using VQ
I'm not able to get into any 'virtual queues' as I don't have a digital toy to do so with.
No smart phone, and the WDW app does not work on my tablet.
So I am, as they say, 'SOL'.

I have been to DHS a few times now, and have yet to experience 'Rise of The Resistance' because of this.
Guests like me who don't have /own a device, or choose not to carry one to the Park are shut out if a Attraction is 'virtual queue' only.

Per a friend that attended today, the only differences between US and Paris are in the queue (as expected). Indoor queue was slightly longer and featured an extra scene
An Artist’s loft with an animated painting featuring boarding instructions.

English/French split is exact same as Paris (as we expected I believe).

You’re not shut out, the Guest Experience team is available to assist Guests that do not have a smart phone join virtual queues.

How would that work for Rise? If the queue is full at 7 sec after 7am, how would the Smartphone-less get in the queue?
they can't...at all.
And I find now I am spending more and more time on my phone while in the parks instead of enjoying the parks... Have to make reservations for everything but the bathroom (currently)... They are getting to the point where the aggressive planning is harming the fun part of being there and on vacation...

I wonder if you could get to the park at 12:45pm and ask a cast member to get you a position on Rise? Reminds me of a lyric: I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down...

It takes 1 minute to make your park reservation at home. You could make your dining reservations before your visit or go to guest relations at the park day of to make your dining reservations. There’s tip boards located around the parks to show you current wait times. There are paper maps and times guides available to help you way find. Nothing requires reservations right now except dining. If you don’t want to mobile order you can order with a cashier. I went to Epcot and Studios last week and my phone died shortly after arrival and I survived 8 hours in the park without it, wasn’t that hard.

Yes, i have been told about the GE team previously.
However, i was told it is fairly difficult for them to help out as they can typically only help score a 'Boarding Pass' for one family/group/person at a time during the mad rush to do so daily.
So my chances would be slim, and i would honestly rather have a family of multiple people be served and have the chance to ride then just lil' ol me.
Perhaps this has changed?

I am only ONE Guest....so i would think it would be easy to just 'sneak' me onto the wait list.
'Single Rider' , anyone...?

If you don’t want to use a smart phone or receive assistance from the Guest Experience team then I guess you’re out of options.
