Some HUGE changes are taking place in Disney World today! For now, there will be no more virtual queues, although we will likely see them return at some point.
Today is the first official day for standby queues at both Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. Of course, we will be bringing you full coverage of what the crowds and wait times look like today, but you may be wondering if these attractions will be available during Early Entry?
Early Theme Park Entry is available for guests staying at a Disney World hotel. The perk allows guests to enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes early every single day. You can get a headstart on the rest of the crowds and knock out some of your high-priority attractions!
While you can enter the theme park 30 minutes before its official opening, not all attractions will be available during this time. Select attractions in each park are available during Early Entry, so make sure you know which ones will be open before you waste precious time!
Previously, since both Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind were operating with a virtual queue, they weren’t available during Early Entry. However, now that both attractions offer a standby queue, will they be available during Early Entry?
Currently, ONLY Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is available during Early Entry. That means Cosmic Rewind will be available for hotel guests 30 minutes before EPCOT opens to all guests. However, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure won’t open until the park opens for all guests.
This morning, Cosmic Rewind had a 35-minute wait during Early Entry, which bumped up to 50 minutes shortly after the park opened for all guests. However, the wait time was posted at 170 minutes by 9:30 AM. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently not included with Early Entry but was temporarily closed when Magic Kingdom opened for all guests.
While only Cosmic Rewind is currently available with Early Entry, that doesn’t mean Tiana’s Bayou Adventure won’t be added eventually. Disney can always update the attractions that are available during Early Entry. Of course, we will keep you updated with any changes!
