Once your boarding group is called, you have 60 minutes to scan in at the attraction's entrance. In my experience, late arrivals are not permitted. There is a second opportunity to join the virtual queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run at 1:00 p.m. each day.

While the official policy for the TRON Lightcycle / Run virtual queue at Magic Kingdom states that late arrivals may not be accommodated, Disney's actual enforcement is often more nuanced. Your "boarding group" notification gives you a one-hour window to return to the attraction. In 2026, many guests find that Cast Members are generally understanding of "reasonable" delays—such as being stuck on another ride or in a dining reservation—provided you can show proof of the conflict. However, being significantly late (multiple hours) or arriving after the park's virtual queue has finished operating for the day usually results in a denied entry. During high-demand periods like spring break or the holidays, enforcement is significantly stricter. To avoid disappointment, it is always best to prioritize your return window or, if you know you'll be late, find a Guest Experience Team member (blue shirts) as soon as possible to explain your situation and see if they can manually adjust your entry.
