Interactive Queue of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

When the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train opens to guests, inside you’ll find an innovative, interactive queue to entertain young and old while they wait for the attraction. This queue is so cool – it’s almost an attraction to itself! There are three parts to the interactive queue:

  • Jewel Sorting – Help the Dwarfs by matching the colors and shapes of the jewels as they flow through the wooden trough.
  • Jewel Washing – Step 2 is cleaning off those precious jewels with the help of musical water spigots. Listen closely, you may hear familiar tunes!
  • The Vault – Transform the ceiling of the Vault with the help of glimmering, glowing stones.

Take a look at how fun this is:

Greater Flexibility Added to FastPass+

Starting Monday, April 28, 2014, two improvements to Walt Disney World® Resort’s MyMagic+ system will take effect! Both of these two enhancements address common concerns expressed to us from our clients regarding FastPass+. CLICK HERE for additional information on MyMagic+.

  • At this time, guests are limited to (3) FastPass+ selections per day. Starting Monday 4/28, guests will be able to select a rolling 4th selection at in-park kiosks. This 4th selection will only be available once your first 3 selections have been redeemed and is based on availability. After using the 4th, you can repeat that process and keep getting an additional FastPass+ throughout the day. If availability exists, you can even revisit one of your favorite attractions you have already experienced earlier in the day!
  • Guests who have added the Park Hopper® Option to their Magic Your Way Ticket will be able to obtain their 4th FastPass+ selection in a different park after their first 3 have been used in their original park for the day.

Note: The 4th FastPass+ can only be obtained through one of the kiosks located throughout the parks. This option will not be available on the My Disney Experience app or website.

MyMagic+ & FastPass+ & My Disney Experience – oh my! You may not understand how these new features work, but your Magic Maker® does! Count on our expert service to help you navigate the changes and make your next Walt Disney World® Resort Vacation one you’ll never forget!
