Three shutdowns in a single day are creating fresh concerns about one of Walt Disney World's most ambitious attractions, and the latest problems are another frustrating development for Star Wars fans.
Disney's Hollywood Studios offers some of the resort's most popular rides, but visitors have repeatedly encountered difficulties with one particular experience.
Despite its impressive technology and enormous popularity, the attraction has developed a reputation for unexpected interruptions that can complicate even carefully planned vacations.
Now, new observations from November 10, 2026, suggest those operational challenges are continuing.
Rise of the Resistance Experiences Another Difficult Day
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance temporarily closed three times on November 10, according to wait-time observations published by AllEars.
The attraction, located inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, was listed as temporarily closed at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 2 p.m.
These interruptions created difficulties for visitors hoping to experience the attraction during different parts of the day.
Rise of the Resistance did reopen between the closures, with posted waits reaching 45 minutes at 10 a.m. and 75 minutes at noon.
By 3 p.m., the attraction was operating again with a 35-minute wait.
Although the attraction continued welcoming visitors into the evening, the repeated interruptions were another example of operational problems affecting Disney World's popular Star Wars ride.
Disney hasn't confirmed what caused the November 10 interruptions.
A Problem That Keeps Returning
The latest closures follow several other incidents involving Rise of the Resistance.
In March 2026, the attraction experienced significant operational difficulties across multiple days.
According to previously reported tracking data, Rise of the Resistance recorded 326 minutes of downtime on March 26 alone.
Problems continued into the fall.
On October 28, Hollywood Studios visitors encountered another unexpected closure when the attraction failed to open with the park.
Cast Members couldn't provide a reopening estimate, leaving visitors wondering whether they would get another opportunity to ride.
A separate September report also raised concerns about the attraction's reliability, citing 93 closures over a one-month tracking period.
Disney hasn't independently confirmed that figure, but the repeated reports illustrate why reliability has become such a significant topic among Star Wars fans.
Why This Ride Is Different
Rise of the Resistance opened at Hollywood Studios in December 2019, several months after Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge welcomed its first visitors.
Unlike traditional Disney attractions, Rise of the Resistance combines multiple ride systems, enormous sets, trackless vehicles, and elaborate special effects.
Guests begin their adventure by joining the Resistance before being captured by the First Order.
From there, the experience takes them through a massive Star Destroyer, where they encounter stormtroopers, AT-AT walkers, and familiar Star Wars villains.
The attraction's elaborate design makes it one of Disney's most immersive experiences.
However, the number of interconnected systems also makes operations complicated.
When an essential component experiences difficulties, Disney may need to temporarily stop the attraction.
That complexity doesn't explain the specific November 10 interruptions, but it helps demonstrate why maintaining such an ambitious experience presents challenges.
Disney Has Already Taken an Interesting Step
The latest problems come just weeks after Disney filed new construction paperwork involving Rise of the Resistance.
The October 8 permit identifies Buena Vista Construction Company as the contractor.
However, the filing doesn't explain whether Disney intends to repair existing components, make operational improvements, or complete other work.
There is also no confirmed connection between the permit and the attraction's latest closures.
Separately, Disney recently expanded Rise of the Resistance access during select Extended Evening Hours events.
That change provided eligible Disney Deluxe Resort and Deluxe Villa Resort guests with additional opportunities to experience the attraction during participating events.
What Happens Next?
For visitors planning a Hollywood Studios vacation, Rise of the Resistance remains a major attraction worth prioritizing.
However, the repeated interruptions demonstrate why relying on a single ride to determine the success of an entire park day can be risky.
Guests should monitor the My Disney Experience app, check posted wait times, and remain prepared to adjust their plans if the attraction becomes unavailable.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Tours also offer opportunities to enjoy the Star Wars universe when Rise of the Resistance is temporarily closed.
Disney hasn't announced a permanent closure or major refurbishment connected to the November 10 incidents.
For now, Rise of the Resistance continues operating, but its recurring interruptions remain a concern for visitors hoping to experience one of Disney World's most elaborate attractions.
After nearly seven years of operation, fans are still waiting for the day when joining the Resistance doesn't come with quite so much uncertainty.
