3. Expansion of the virtual queue system

One of the biggest changes we could see when the parks reopen would be a wider rollout of the virtual queue system, which has thus far been used only for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. And now it looks like My Disney Experience has been quietly updated to potentially handle that possibility as a new “My Queues” menu has been added to the app. Though we won't know exactly what this menu will do until the parks open back up, it seems more likely than not that we will see an expansion of the Boarding Group virtual queue system when the parks reopen, at some future date. 

Though increasing virtual queues might seem like an extreme measure, it could be necessary if Walt Disney World wants to reopen while keeping social distancing practices in mind. Though most estimates seem to indicate that a closure later this spring could be possible, a lot will depend on the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the coming weeks.

As we've said previously, there is no way to know exactly how long theme parks will be dealing with the effects of Coronavirus, but while this situation is continuing, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
