Can you wait in line to ride Rise of the Resistance?
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney World originally required joining a virtual queue, but you can now more easily ride the popular attraction through waiting in a regular standby line or paying to bypass the standby line with an individual Lightning Lane selection during regular theme park hours.

So ultimately, you get just a little bit more time at Magic Kingdom than you do at Hollywood Studios. With Extended Evening Hours, you get a little less extra time. The Magic Kingdom hours generally run from 10PM to midnight, and the event in EPCOT is usually 9PM to 11PM.
As you can guess if Monday is the busiest, Tuesday tends to be the best day of the week to go to Magic Kingdom. We also find Thursday to be one of the least busy days of the week at Magic Kingdom, with Sunday being a great weekend option.
We find that the days closest to the weekends (Friday and Monday), as well as the weekends themselves, are the busiest days at Walt Disney World. Because Magic Kingdom is often the number one park on visitors' lists, they'll hit it first on their trip. If they arrive on a weekend, that makes it a Sunday or Monday!

Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance fills up fast. Why you may still score a seat. Fans and experts estimate that Disneyland's popular Rise of the Resistance attraction can serve about 1,100 to 1,500 visitors per hour, with a maximum of perhaps 1,900.
Rise of the Resistance can be scary at times for kids, even ones who love Star Wars. The interactions with Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and the First Order can be a bit intimidating. The ride itself can also be too much for some children, since some areas of the ride are dark and there is even a drop.
