How long is the window for virtual queue Disney?

Well, if you have successfully joined a Disney virtual queue you will receive a boarding group number. Once Disney is ready for your boarding group to go and enter the attraction they will send you a notification. At that point you will have an hour window to go and scan in using the My Disney Experience app.
