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. Access to the app is complimentary even without a paid Wi-Fi package, but that doesn’t make the move any less controversial.

Disney World and Disneyland Skip Most Easter Food Items Inside the Parks in 2025: Drinks, Eats and Desserts Go to Resorts and Disney Springs

Something peculiar is happening at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort when it comes to Easter celebrations. For whatever reason, the company has decided to offer only a Thumper-themed popcorn bucket inside the parks as the sole culinary offering for the holiday.

First, Do No Harm—The Bare Minimum Oath All Disney Imagineers SHOULD Take But No Longer Do, An Editorial by LW Ghost

I’ve spent the last hour or so listening to some wonderful music from the past—not the Mozart kind of past, but the EPCOT past, and it made me think more than just warm, nostalgic, and happy thoughts of good times back in those yester-decades called the 1980’s which, I know, many of you were not blessed to be around in.
