Hi Janice, and welcome to planDisney!
First of all, Master Yoda wants you to know you have done very well in securing your theme park tickets,
Disney Park Pass reservations, AND a much-coveted spot in the virtual queue for
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. My family first experienced our epic adventure with Rey, Finn, and Kylo Ren last week, and we were completely blown away.
As you know, Guests must log in to the
My Disney Experience mobile app at 7:00 a.m. sharp, with tickets and reservations linked, to
join the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. After tapping the "Join" button and following the prompts, members of the Resistance will be offered a Boarding Group number and a return time. You will have one hour from the opening of your Boarding Group window to check in at the entrance to the attraction. (Please note that the times and procedures for the virtual queue are subject to change.)
Last week, my family was unsuccessful in securing a Boarding Group first thing in the morning, so we tried again when the second set of Boarding Groups opens at 1:00 p.m. That time the Force was with us, and we had success! Based on the time we had, we left Disney's Hollywood Studios, went back to our resort hotel for a nap, and returned for our Star Wars adventure later in the day. If you choose to do this, be sure to leave at least one hour to travel to Disney's Hollywood Studios - I was panicking a little waiting for the bus at our hotel because we cut it a little too close.
If you're not sure when your return time is, open the My Disney Experience mobile app and tap the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner. From there, you'll see "Virtual Queues." When you tap that, you'll see any virtual queues you are in and your expected return time. You may also ask a friendly Cast Member for assistance.
Janice, have an epic time on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance!
May the Force be with you,
Robyn
