For those who want to ride Rise of the Resistance multiple times, a Park Hopper ticket gives you the most flexibility during your vacation.

Rise of the Resistance sells out first of all of the ILL attractions, around 11 am. By just after 7 am, the earliest return times are already up to 2 pm. And at 9 am, when off-site guests are eligible to purchase because the park opened, we see an immediate 2-hour jump in available times.

Once your boarding group is called, you have 60 minutes to scan in at the attraction's entrance. In my experience, late arrivals are not permitted. There is a second opportunity to join the virtual queue for TRON Lightcycle / Run at 1:00 p.m. each day.

I therefore recommend waiting to book Rise until the return window is at least 11am or later so you can make the most of the morning otherwise. That may mean you need to wait to book Rise a bit later than when you enter the parks. Set an alarm on your phone to check back so you don't miss the ideal hour!
