Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be a virtual queue during extended evening hours

Disney World is adding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to the lineup of attractions that will be open during Extended Evening Hours at EPCOT, but there is a catch. The only way to get on the attraction is via a virtual queue, similar to how one would get on during the day.

Registered guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels will have an additional opportunity to request to join the virtual queue at 6 p.m. on select dates during extended evening theme park hours. Guests with this benefit do not need to be in EPCOT to request to join at that time. 

HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN DISNEY WORLD EXTENDED EVENING THEME PARK HOURS?

First, you need to be staying at a participating hotel (see below). Second, you will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours, or if you have a ticket or annual pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park where they made their reservation. So, if you have a one-day ticket you need to have a park reservation for the specific park. If you have a Park Hopper you need to make sure you first head to the park you made your initial park reservation first.
