We had an interesting morning as we tried to snag a spot on Rise of the Resistance!
Rise of the Resistance
Recently, Disney updated the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group process to allow guests to get a spot in the Virtual Queue at 7AM, three hours before the Disney’s Hollywood Studios opens. Today, we snagged our spot and then something WEIRD happened.
We picked up a Boarding Group right at 7AM and managed to snag Group 6. Imagine our surprise when our group was called a 9:40AM, 20 minutes before the park opened! It seems that if you’re in the first few groups there is a chance you could be called prior to park open.

This doesn’t change too much — you can still ride right when you get there — except that you’ll have slightly less than an hour window. Ours expired at 10:40AM, so we only had 40 minutes of the park being open to ride. But we do think it is important to note that it is possible that you will be called before the park opens, so you may want to plan accordingly if you get one of the first few boarding groups!
