Disney Revives Virtual Queue for runDisney Expo Opening-Day Merchandise
The system, largely retired for rides in 2025, returns here to manage heavy merchandise demand via the My Disney Experience app.
Overview
- runDisney confirms a virtual queue for the first day of the Health & Fitness Expo to access official Marathon Weekend merchandise at ESPN Wide World of Sports.
- Reporting indicates guests can try to join in the app at 8:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m. on the day the queue is offered.
- Participants may select a shopping party of up to six, receive push notifications when their group is called, and check in using MagicBand+, Disney MagicMobile, or a digital code.
- Coverage notes a location requirement that limits eligibility to within roughly 45 miles of Walt Disney World when joining the queue.
- No attractions currently use virtual queues at Walt Disney World, which largely phased them out in early 2025 after years of deployment for new headliner openings.
