World of Disney Adds Virtual Queue for Lorcana Set
Published October 12, 2026
World of Disney at Disney Springs will use a virtual queue for guests buying the new Disney Lorcana set, Hyperia City, according to reports published Monday, October 12, 2026. The set releases Friday, October 16, 2026, and guests who want to buy it at World of Disney will join a virtual queue rather than form a standby line outside the store.
As of Monday, October 12, the virtual queue is the only purchase process reported for World of Disney on release day. Disney has not published its own statement on the arrangement.
Hyperia City is the next set in the Disney Lorcana trading card game. Disney Springs does not require a theme park ticket to enter, so the virtual queue applies to anyone who can get to the Marketplace side of the district that morning.
What we know
- World of Disney (Disney Springs) — will use a virtual queue for Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City purchases, according to reports
- Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City — releases Friday, October 16, 2026
- Purchase method — virtual queue, not a standby line, for guests buying at World of Disney
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed the report or released details on how the queue works: the time it opens, where or how guests join it, whether a mobile device is required, and whether purchase limits apply were all absent from the coverage available. No per-guest product limit, price, or allocation figure has been announced. It is also not stated whether other Walt Disney World merchandise locations will use the same system for this release.
What it means for your trip
- If buying Hyperia City at World of Disney is the point of your Friday, October 16 morning, treat it as a Disney Springs morning and not a park morning — parking at Disney Springs is free, and you will not be able to rope-drop a park and shop a release queue at the same time.
- Build the rest of that Friday around the queue, not the reverse. Virtual queues return you to a window you do not control, so pair it with flexible Disney Springs stops — Gideon’s Bakehouse or a Marketplace walk — rather than a hard 11:00 AM table you would have to abandon.
- Bring a charged phone and have your My Disney Experience sign-in working before you arrive; queue joins that depend on a device punish anyone fumbling a password in the parking garage.
- If you are travelling with kids who collect, decide in advance who stands by for the queue window and who goes elsewhere, because a release-day return time rarely lands when it is convenient.
- If a Friday dinner reservation is what’s really blocking your plan, a SupaPark dining Drop Watch will ping you the moment a cancellation frees a table so you can grab it in My Disney Experience.
