When TRON Lightcycle Run opens up a traditional standby queue next week, it will not initially participate in the Early Entry perk. As a reminder, Early Entry is essentially a 30-minute head start for all guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels. The perk allows guests to enter either a portion of the theme park or the entire theme park 30 minutes before they open to the public for the day. The Early Entry perk is offered at all four Walt Disney World theme parks, every day of the year.
TRON Lightcycle Run During Early Entry
Walt Disney World says that TRON Lightcyle Run will not be available during Early Entry when it launches a standby queue on September 9th. It will be interesting to see how this is handled in practice, given that Tomorrowland is open during Early Entry, and guests will likely want to rope drop TRON Lightcycle Run when it officially opens for the day at 9am. Of course, operations and crowds on September 9th will probably not be representative of the experience two months from now, especially once we enter a busier time of the year, but we’ll continue to keep an eye on things.
For guests with access to the Extended Evening Hours perk for Deluxe Resort hotels, TRON Lightcycle Run will be available without the need to join a Virtual Queue starting with the September 11th Extended Evening Hours event, and moving forward.
TRON Lightcycle Run has previously operated a standby queue during special events, but next week will mark a significant shift in crowd dynamics at Magic Kingdom for the first time in years. We’ll have more thoughts on that shortly!
