Ride Rise of Resistance Without A Boarding Group – For A Price

To be completely honest, one of our least favorite things about visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios is having to deal with Star Wars: Rise of Resistance. Don’t get us wrong. This attraction is one of the BEST attractions we’ve ever experienced. The stress of having a chance to ride the attraction is super intense however. This is the one attraction at Walt Disney World that does not have a Standby line, but instead is a virtual queue – requiring guests to use their My Disney Experience App to join a boarding group. Well, it looks like this is changing for select guests – but you’ll need to be willing to pay.

Rise of Resistance boarding groups sell out ridiculously fast. If you fumble your phone at all or push a wrong button, you may miss your chance to board Rise of Resistance. If you miss the first boarding group attempt which opens on the My Disney Experience App at 7:00am, you’ll have one more chance to join a boarding group at 1:00pm. Within a minute of each of these times opening, the virtual queue fills up leaving many guests disappointed that they won’t be able to enjoy the attraction. UNLESS… you now book a VIP Tour.

As reported by InsideTheMagic: “Previously, Disney World’s VIP tour offerings did not include Rise of the Resistance access, but as of July 11, 2021 that is changing. Via the official Walt Disney World Resort online chat, a Cast Member confirmed that Guests who purchase select VIP tours of Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park will be able to board Rise of the Resistance starting tomorrow (7/11).”

So, what do you think? Are you ready to bypass attempting to snag a Star Wars: Rise of Resistance boarding group for the price of a VIP Tour? According to Disney: “The team at Disney VIP Tour Services will plan the most efficient, enjoyable way for groups up to 10 Guests to see and do the things on your list.
