Virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance returning for July 15 reopening
Disney will re-institute the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance when Hollywood Studios reopens on July 15, but you won’t need to be there at the crack of dawn, Disney says.
In the past the number virtual queue spots filled up within minutes of the park opening. But when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens it will have a much lower capacity. So, as availability allows, Disney will allow guests to join the virtual queue at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. or 4 p.m.
So far this is the only attraction at Disney World that will be using the virtual queue. It is the most popular ride at Disney World. All other attractions are using the regular standby queues. The FastPass system is not being used during the reopening.
To join the virtual queue you will need you My Disney Experience app on your mobile device.
Here’s how you will be able to join the virtual queue:
- Once you enter the park, log in to your account at one of the distribution times (10 a.m., 1 p.m. or 4 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.
- Please note that joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
If you have any questions or need assistance with joining the virtual queue, Cast Members at Guest Experience Team locations throughout the park are available to assist.
