Disney California Adventure’s highly anticipated new ride, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, will be the top ticket in town when it opens on June 4th, 2021. But like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland, you won’t be able to just get in line and wait for it, this attraction will be using a virtual queue ONLY (which is also called a “Boarding Group” by Disney).

This easy guide will walk you through how to get a boarding pass for the new Spider-Man ride and will answer many questions we’ve been receiving about how to ride both Web Slingers and Rise of the Resistance in the same day (yes, it’s possible).  

How to Get a Virtual Queue Boarding Group for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure

To schedule a boarding group for Spider-man, you’ll need to have three things: 1) A valid theme park admission 2) A theme park reservation for Disney California Adventure on the day you hope to ride the attraction, and 3) The Disneyland App on your phone.

Set Up Your Disneyland App

Before you even try to schedule that boarding group on the morning of your visit, make sure you are all set up and ready to go on the morning of your visit. Do the following before your Disneyland trip: 

    • Open the Disneyland App (if you don’t have it yet, now is the time to download it and set it up)
    • Log into your account (or set up an account if you don’t have one)
    • Add your ticket(s) to the app (if you are booking boarding passes for multiple people, be sure to “Link Tickets & Passes” for the members of your party you’ll be adding to your group for the attraction).

Scheduling a Virtual Queue Boarding Group

, How to Score a Boarding Group for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure

You will have two opportunities to schedule a Boarding Group each day (but you can only enter a virtual queue for an attraction once per day).  

  • 7 A.M.: You can make this attempt from home or from your hotel. You do NOT need to be at the resort to make the reservation, but you must have valid park tickets and a Disney California Adventure park reservation.
  • Noon: You must have entered either park at the Disneyland Resort to book the noon reservation window. Park-hopper ticket holders who started their day at Disneyland can also try for the noon WEB SLINGERS reservation. (Park hopping starts at 1pm)  

While not complicated, you will need to act fast. Boarding Groups for Rise of the Resistance sell out within seconds and we expect the same to be true for WEB SLINGERS.  Be prepared so you don’t miss out by following these steps: 

  1. Sign in to your Disneyland App well in advance in case you forget a password and need time to get signed in (be sure you’ve tested logging in a day or two in advance).  
  2. Open the Virtual Queues Section of your Disneyland app a couple of minutes before the Virtual Queue enrollment begins at either 7 A.M. or Noon. You can find the Virtual Queue section either on the main page of your app or by navigating to the Virtual Queues section by clicking the 3 ruled lines in the bottom right corner of the app:

If you click the three lines, you’ll see the option for virtual queues:

From there, you’ll likely end up on a page with the Rise of the Resistance boarding opportunity, but there’s also a tab at the top to switch to California Adventure. Just click the tabs to switch the park: 

3.  Press the “Join” button. If the attraction isn’t available yet, you can pull down on the page to refresh it repeatedly until the option to book unlocks right at 7 A.M. or Noon. Here’s a photo of how it looked during Cast Member previews (it should be about the same for regular guests starting on June 4th).

You’ll know immediately if you got a boarding group or not and will be assigned a boarding group number. If you didn’t get a spot at 7 A.M., try again at Noon using the same steps.

You’ll get a notification on your phone when it’s time to ride the attraction. You can always check “My Queues” to see what boarding group numbers are being called.  

For the visually inclined, our good friend Becca Robins (This Crazy Adventure Called Life) has created a great flow-chart of how to get a boarding pass for both of the Disneyland Resort’s top attractions, Rise of the Resistance and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure:

What To Do If You Make A Mistake

If you made a mistake while booking your reservation and didn’t select everyone in your party or perhaps selected too many people, a Guest Relations cast member at any Guest Relations location can help you once you get to the park. (Note that there’s nothing they can do for you if you aren’t able to get a boarding pass at all. Though, they can generally link or unlink an individual on your valid boarding pass).

Guest Relations is nestled between Oswald’s Gas and Five and Dime at DCA. However, you can talk to any Guest Relations Cast Member at any of the guest assistance umbrellas in either Disneyland or DCA for additional help.

Can You Ride BOTH Spider-Man & Rise of the Resistance in the same Day?

The Answer is a qualified *YES.* Here’s what you would need to do, and the luck you would need to have to make it work.  

  • You can only hold ONE Boarding Group at a time. So you can’t hold a Rise of the Resistance AND a WEB SLINGERS at the same time. However, you can hold them sequentially. That means you could hold a pass for one ride in the morning and the other in the afternoon.  

Let’s take a look at everything that has to go right to score both a WEB SLINGERS and a Rise of the Resistance boarding group.  : 

  1. You need a park-hopper ticket. 
  2. You need to obtain a Virtual Queue for the park that you start your day at. For example: You start your day at Disneyland and are able to obtain a Boarding Pass for Star Wars: Rise of the resistance in the morning.  
  3. The Boarding Group for your morning Virtual Queue has to be used prior to noon. So, in the example above: You are able to claim your Rise of the Resistance boarding group in the morning before noon.  
  4. You successfully obtain a Virtual Queue for your 2nd attraction at noon. In our example, that would be for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure at DCA.  (Park-hoppers are allowed to switch parks after 1pm.)

So, it IS possible to do both rides in one day. But since there could be an overlap of an hour or so between noon and 1pm on the morning boarding passes, not all park-hopper ticket holders will be able to shoot for the 2nd attraction. Additionally, it is not a certantity that you’ll successfully get a boarding group for either attraction, much less both, in a single day. Everything has to be going your way . . . buy a lottery ticket, the luck is with you!
