After only two days, Disneyland announced it was not using the virtual queue system for Walt Disney- A Magical Life.Disney said in the Disneyland Resort App, “We plan to open a virtual queue for Walt Disney—A Magical Life as needed each day.” This means guests can walk up, wait in line, and see Disneyland’s newest attraction.The Main Street Opera House is open for stand by as of 1:45 pm today.

Walt tells the story of Disney as he saw it with a twinkle in his eyes.During previews, the Walt animatronic received some backlash. Many on social media felt it looked less like Walt Disney and more like Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy. However, many defended Walt Disney Imagineering and its lifelike portrayal of Walt.It’s unclear if this was Disney’s plan all along or if smaller-than-anticipated crowds forced Disney’s hand into making these changes. Whatever the reason, Disneyland guests can now just walk right in and see Walt in his office for the time being.What do you think of the new Walt Disney animatronic at Disneyland?
