Disney Expands Controversial and Unpopular Virtual Queue System to Cruise Line, Sparking Fresh Outrage

If you thought each virtual queue rollout was a disaster at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, it looks like Disney is ready to bring that frustration to the high seas as part of the Disney Cruise Line.

Guests aboard the Disney Wish were met with an unwelcome surprise during the ship’s April 21 voyage — the rollout of a virtual queue system for popular onboard experiences. Using the Disney Cruise Line’s Navigator app, passengers were encouraged to reserve times for character meet-and-greets and rides like the AquaMouse water coaster.
