Now there are some remnants from covid that exists, *cough cough* park reservations *cough cough*, but I'm not sure this is one of them to be honest. F&WF is a joke now. F&GF is much more preferable to me since they offer better in my opinion comparatively since they gutted a lot of the extras from F&WF To me, the best current Festival is the Arts Festival. It is the most unique and still fan focused of the festivals. |

Arts--the paint by numbers mural and the artist booths F&G--butterfly garden and floral display near Imagination (around the water). |

Late to this thread (I have been traveling).....This is a step the right direction. It amazes me how much WDW is still not back to normal when compared to pre-covid. Between the mountain of debt, soaring costs, inept management and revenge travel (which has made WDW lazy) the parks and resorts are not the same. Look at Food & Wine Festival.....Its just booths, nothing that made the festival great is back....nothing! Sigh....I can go on and on, but not today. I go back and forth on the VQ being a covid thing or not honestly. Rise of the resistance was a VQ in 2019 when it opened. I don't necessarily think that VQs are covid remnants, but just an idea that the management thinks is needed to do crowd control. I do not think honestly that once a ride reaches a certain age, that it's required or needed or whatever. Now there are some remnants from covid that exists, *cough cough* park reservations *cough cough*, but I'm not sure this is one of them to be honest. F&WF is a joke now. F&GF is much more preferable to me since they offer better in my opinion comparatively since they gutted a lot of the extras from F&WF Yup. Conflating VQ and Covid is clearly incorrect. We're long past the pandemic and Tiana came in as VQ. There are surely still pandemic-era remnants (reductions) still evident at Disney (and the F&W cutbacks are an obvious point, as noted). But the VQ is very clearly not one of them given the timing of the various rides.
Cheers.

Yeah VQs are not from Covid, as they existed prior. The invent of VQ prevented what would have happened had ROTR not had a VQ, which is that people would have lined up hours before and created a line many hours long. Think back to the Frozen ride and the Hagrid's debacle where folks reportedly waited all day for a single ride! No one would want that kind of guest experience to plague an exciting add like ROTR. Once Tron isn't that busy tho, it's not needed. Disney has the data, and surely knows the time to make the switch. Right now it's noon and the app says 70 min, which seems pretty reasonable. |

I have only heard excellent things about it. I've been to 2 F&WFs post covid. They suck now. F&GF remained largely the same and now a favorite of my kid. |

I know it's a relatively slow season, but Tron standby wait times don't seem so bad. I saw 60 minutes this morning and 45 minutes yesterday afternoon.
