Bright suns, Melanie! Thanks for stopping by the planet of planDisney!
I was lucky enough to join the Resistance for a thrilling, star-studded adventure in a galaxy far, far away just a few short days ago! And let me tell you..
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at
Disney's Hollywood Studios is a truly out-of-this-world experience!
In the past, this attraction could only be accessed using a virtual queue system. However, I'm happy to report back from my reconnaissance mission that this is no longer the case. This ride is now accessible through a traditional standby line or by making an
Individual Lightning Lane purchase through the
My Disney Experience app. Guests who are staying at
Disney Resort Hotels, Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotels or Shades of Green® can make Individual Lightning Lane purchases at 7 a.m. on the day they plan to visit that attraction, while Guests staying off-site can do so when the park opens. These Individual Lightning Lane purchases are limited, so time is of the essence for an attraction as popular as
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance!
If you do not make an Individual Lightning Lane purchase for this attraction, you can use the standby lane. Though this ride boasts some of the longer wait times at Walt Disney World, you can utilize the My Disney Experience app to check the wait times throughout the day. I like to check wait times from home before I even leave for Disney World! This helps me find the optimal time to visit some of the busier attractions and better plan my days. To do this, open the app and click the second button on the bottom of the screen (it looks like a pin on a map). In the top left corner, you can filter the attractions by park. Once you select Disney's Hollywood Studios, click apply and you'll find a map view of all wait times for the attractions in this park. You can also choose "Show List" in the top right corner to view in list form.
Melanie, it is so exciting that you'll be landing on Batuu in just a few short weeks. Be sure to check out all that
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has to offer. I can never leave without fueling up on the Batuuan Blue Milk Cooler from the
Milk Stand! Give it a try!
'Til the spires,
Ashley
