Any clues at all as to white the refurbed interior of the gift shop might be?
2 or 3 Tron themed items, 1 or 2 space mountain themed items the rest generic Disney Parks stuff.

Only the first hour until those 3 to 5 items move to EBay.
Nah, I'm sure there will be lots of XS and 3XXXL stuff leftover

Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise has a much greater demand than Tron merchandise.
A Virtual Queue and Individual Lightning Lane has been announced for TRON.
Details on the new locker system (inside the queue) -
"New to TRON Lightcycle / Run, a double-sided and digitized locker system will be used to store bags and loose items while you race your Lightcycle. Inside the attraction queue, these complimentary lockers pair directly with your MagicBand, MagicBand+ or ticket media so you can easily lock and reopen your locker with a quick tap. Guests without a MagicBand or other ticket media (such as a card) will be provided with a card to assign their locker. All items must be placed either in a locker before you board your Lightcycle, or in a small compartment located on the attraction vehicle that can hold items such as cellphones, glasses or wallets."

AP very very soon after cast.
As an aside, Hagrids was a joy with just one standby line and nothing else. Just sayin’.

Since TRON is now virtual queue. How does that affect Guardians? Is it standby now?

TRON does not open until April 4. We won’t know how it will impact Guardians until then.

I'm glad they took a cue from the locker system at Universal's Islands of Adventure, and installed a "double-sided" locker system like the Velocicoaster has.
(For those who haven't seen double-sided lockers, in order to eliminate the usual bottleneck of guests dropping off and picking up at the same sets of lockers, the banks of lockers go the whole way through the wall, with a locking access door on each end. You put things in one side of the locker on your way through the queue to the boarding area, and when you exit, you find yourself on the other side of the wall, and unlock and pull your items out from the other end, so that the traffic through the locker areas is "one way" both in the queue and when you exit.) It's pretty brilliant.

I'm confused...doesn't it say the lockers are double sided? or is what they are doing not what you are describing? I haven't been on Velocicoaster as yet unfortunately.

What they are doing for Tron is exactly what Uni does for Velocicoaster. The poster was complimenting Disney for using the same system since it works well.

Different park. Shouldn't affect it at all. Besides Tron doesn't open until 4/4.
DME is capable of handling multiple VQ.

Ah yes I see that now...when I originally read the post the end said that it was disappointing Disney hadn't picked up on that...Weird! I agree that this is would be a great system to use can't wait to see it in actual use.

DME can’t even handle 1 restaurant releasing its dining reservations.

It does change things though. For people who hop to EPCOT, they cannot also join the Guardians VQ. At least, that is how I interpret it. Which means it’s one or the other for that day.
