So, you want to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, do you? First order of business—download the Disney app. You need this app for anything Disney-related. Create an account if you haven’t already.
Next, it’s crucial to request to join the virtual queue at 7:00 AM. Not 7:30, not 8:00—7:00 AM sharp. Trust me, if you wait, you’ll miss out.
Here’s how it works:
- Before Park Entry: Make your request to join the virtual queue before you enter the park and ensure you have a valid admission.
- Check Park Availability: Before purchasing your ticket, confirm that the park you want to visit has available slots. This step is critical.
- Second Chance at 1:00 PM: If you didn’t make the 7:00 AM queue, you can request to join the virtual queue again at 1:00 PM after you’ve entered the park.
Once you successfully join the queue, you’ll be assigned a group number and a boarding pass with a return time for your ride. This information is integrated into your app and will update you as needed.
From there, get ready to embark on a journey that will absolutely blow you away!
The attraction—a combined trackless dark ride, walk-through, motion simulator, and drop ride system puts guests into the middle of an altercation between the Resistance and the First Order.
I have to admit, I wasn’t among the fortunate ones to ride this, despite following all the advice from my close friends who managed to snag their passes. I was poised and ready at 6:59, fingers hovering over the button, but as soon as 7:00 struck, I pressed it and immediately received a disappointing message informing me that all experiences had been booked!
