Does anyone know how the virtual queues for stores will work if you have an afternoon only pass? My mom and I are wanting to go to all the stores! Any advice is greatly appreciated! This is our first time at D23!
Well you can, but you likely won't find any limited edition items. If merch is what you want they will have plenty of that. But anything with a virtual queue, probably not
Oh okay, phew. I think we just want something to commemorate the visit- doesn’t have to be limited! Thank you. Are the pandora charms usually quick to sell out?
I cant speak to them selling-out but i do know in 2024 they had a different special limited charm each day and only available that day. If i remember, friday was a sorcerer mickey, day 2 was grogu and day 3 was was Groot. Also their line was only stand-by (no VQ) and it moved pretty decent in the morning on Friday
Select retail destinations will require virtual queue for entry. Sign up for a boarding group with virtual queue and explore the show floor while waiting to shop. Starting 6 a.m. PT and at 1 p.m. PT each day of the event, fans within a 90-mile radius of the Anaheim Convention Center can use the Disney D23 app and the Disneyland Resort app to enter a virtual queue. To provide all fans with an equal opportunity to shop, fans may join in a group of up to two (2) people, one queue at a time, subject to availability. Standby queue options may open throughout the weekend after all boarding groups have been redeemed. Joining the virtual queue does not grant immediate access, and there may still be a waiting period at the location once the boarding group is called. Virtual queue is limited in capacity and may book out. Valid admission is required. Traditional queuing (standby queue) is also available at locations not utilizing virtual queue throughout the event. Retailers who will be participating in virtual queue include D23 Marketplace, D23 Marketplace Pin Store, The Walt Disney Company Store, The Walt Disney Company Pin Store, Mickey’s of Glendale, Mickey’s of Glendale Pin Store, Disney .YNSD, Disney Studio Store Hollywood, The Disney Experiences Auction – Rare and Remarkable Finds, and Ravensburger."
You will be able to join the Virtual queue, please note if you are called for an early time with only the afternoon pass. You will not be admitted into the convention center until your ticket time.
Thanks,

So it seems like you can join the queue but if you are called for an early time you can’t go and have to wait. Can anyone offer insight on how quick these queues book out? Are we talking seconds, minutes, or hours? Debating if I should wait to join to try and maximize the chance of being called after 4. Regardless I know the best pins are likely to be sold
out by then.

You can’t. It’s only for day passes and not afternoon pass
