On July 30th, the same queuing process which was tested on the Anna and Elsa 'Meet and Greet' was tested on Soarin'.
This new procedure could cause a lot of issues if Disney does decide to use it for the Soarin' queue or another attractions queue in the future.
To start off this basically defeats the whole purpose of MyMagic. The process brings paper fastpasses (Technically standby+ passes) back into play after the machines which gave them out were ripped out of the ground.
What happened is that guests who wanted to ride Soarin' or meet Anna and Elsa at Princess Fairytale Hall would go to the queue and be greeted by CM's who gave them a paper ticket with a return time for some point in the day with a 30 minute return period.
The problem is, the day it was tried all tickets were given out by 5:00 p.m. and guests staying at WDW were not given any notice of the new procedure, so people were still coming to ride Soarin' near the end of the day only to be told that no one else could ride without a ticket.
If Disney does incorporate this so called standyby+ to the Soarin' queue people will supposedly never again wait more than 30 minutes in line for Soarin'. The problem with that? Lines to get the tickets were at times just as long as the 30 minute line to actually ride Soarin'!
