Virtual Queue Update for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Since Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopened to the public, many Guests were surprised to see that the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to fill so quickly each day even though the parks do not appear to be very busy. Indeed, the attraction's virtual queue has been reaching capacity within minutes after park opening.

Starting July 24, Guests will have an opportunity at either 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. to join the virtual queue. These opportunities are intended to give Guests more flexibility in their planning, and are also a way to further support physical distancing. Since the 4 p.m. "drop" will be removed, there might be additional boarding group availability earlier in the day.

For Guests with a Disney Park Pass reservation to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the attraction will continue to have limited availability accessible through the My Disney Experience app virtual queue.

Here you are a few reminders about the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance:

• First, make sure you have the My Disney Experience app. Once you enter the park, log in to your account at one of the distribution times (10 a.m. or 2 p.m.).
• Once you have logged in, select “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Virtual Queue” on the home screen. You will be able to view the current status and next steps for joining the virtual queue.
• The app will indicate when there is no availability for a specific distribution time. Some Guests may join backup groups.
• As long as your My Disney Experience account is linked to park tickets for you and the others in your group, you can enroll everyone in the virtual queue at the same time. In order to give as many Guests as possible the opportunity to join the Resistance, each Guest can enter the virtual queue no more than once per day.
• Make sure push notifications are turned on for My Disney Experience so you will be alerted if your group is called to return. You’ll have up to an hour from the time of the alert to go to the entrance of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
• Guests who are enrolled in the virtual queue will be able to see an estimated return time indicating when they may be called back to experience the attraction. This time may change throughout the day, so continue to check the app for updates. Also, the tip boards around the park will display the boarding groups that have been called back.

Note that joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
