Never eaten there. We just get the beingets sometimes from the Mint Julep place.

At Downtown Disney, the Uva bar and Catal restaurant are great.

I'll have to go before they retheme them, never gone myself

When Runaway Railway opens next Friday, they'll be doing virtual queue at 7 AM and 1 PM, or lightning lane, no standby

It took them all this time to copy Knotts Berry Farm.

I’m so glad I don’t enjoy amusement parks because that sounds annoying

They started using the virtual queue when Rise of the Resistance opened a few years ago.

Runaway Railway opened yesterday, I'll get the first chance to ride it on Monday.  Hope the VQ is working well by then.

Who is going to watch for hot stove news on Twitter while you're at the park?

Hope you get on. I've gone on the version at Disney World, and it's awesome.

Well if you don't want to wait in the virtual queue, you can just pay $20-$25 per person and cut in front of everyone with a Lightning Pass!

Such a blatent cash grab and they don't even bother disguising it anymore.

I know they're trying to organize capacity by having virtual queues, and sure it should be used to some extent considering how ridiculous crowds are at the resort these days, but I just think it's a little ridiculous you pay over $100 to get in the park and you can't just show up and wait in line.

It's not even having to wait in the virtual queue that's the shitty thing, it's that you have to enter the pool within seconds after it opens up to get a spot because they fill up immediately

I’ll attempt next Saturday

Awesome! It's such a good feeling when you have a successful virtual queue.

Just got called so ended up being an hour less than it originally said

[St1ck]

So this ride isn't even a roller coaster it's just a cartoon on a slow moving train?

It’s a trackless dark ride, just like the last part of Rise of the Resistance

Just got off the ride, only had to wait like 15 minutes after entering the line.  I thought it was great, and probably has the coolest queue of any ride at the park.  You can see and walk around a bit of new Toontown once you get off the ride, it’s right in the middle of the new city hall to the left and Roger Rabbit (ride isn’t open but you can walk around the building) to the right.

Meanwhile we have no idea if any Hot Stove moves have been made....

[mmc]

Always liked the ronto wraps, today was my first time getting the breakfast version.  It was really good

Does the queue open at 7am like RotR and Web Slingers did?

7 AM for anyone with a Disneyland Park reservation, and you don't need to be in or near the park.

Then again at 1 PM for anyone with a DL or DCA reservation, but you have to be in one of the parks.
