Disney Revives Virtual Queue Weekly for EPCOT Pin Tuesday

The app-based system assigns timed returns for high-demand merchandise releases such as the Alex Maher collection.

Overview

  • Walt Disney World is using a Virtual Queue once a week for EPCOT’s Pin Tuesday drops, following a test during the Disney Artist Collection by Alex Maher.
  • Guests join through a QR code or the My Disney Experience app, receive a text confirmation, then return during a notified window to make purchases at Port of Entry.
  • During the test, other pins were sold via a standard line at Disney Traders while the most sought-after items required the Virtual Queue.
  • Disney has not announced the change as permanent, though outlets report the system is now in use for the weekly Tuesday releases.
  • No attractions at Disney World currently use Virtual Queues, and reactions from collectors and guests are mixed over reduced physical lines versus added digital stress.
