Do you still need reservations for Rise of the Resistance?
As with every other theme park at Walt Disney World, you'll need to start by booking a Park Pass reservation before visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios, usually at least several weeks in advance.

Look for Nemo and Dory to the right of the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance no longer uses the virtual queue system.
Rise of the Resistance does have a Lightning Lane.For most of the attractions with Lightning Lanes, if you want to use it, you'll need to purchase Genie+ (which is the name for the new pay-to-use FastPass system) for yourself and every member of your party that wishes to use it.
Walt Disney WorldYou'll find rides such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance among those offered via Individual Lightning Lane. Again, costs will vary based on demand, but expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $25 per ride.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance no longer uses the virtual queue system. At this time, you can use the stand-by traditional queue line or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane in the My Disney Experience Mobile App on the day of your Theme Park Reservation.
The standby queue will close when the attraction breaks down, and you can almost certainly plan on it breaking down at some point throughout the day. According to data from thrill-data.com, the average posted wait time for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance so far in 2022 is 130 minutes.
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.
For off-site guests, to date, there have been some days where individual Lightning Lane selections for Rise of the Resistance are sold out before park opening, which means standby would be the only way to access.
Just like everything else at Disney World, you'll still have to wait. Once you get back to Galaxy's Edge, you can head straight to Rise of the Resistance, where a cast member will scan your magic band and ticket confirming your boarding group number. Then you can join the queue, and wait for your turn on the ride.
Of course, our advice is to use the restroom before you enter the queue because seeing backstage areas could take you out of the magic a bit, but if you can't time it perfectly, it should come as a relief to know that the Rise of the Resistance attraction does, in fact, have restrooms available from the queue.
No.There is no more FastPass, and none of its replacements are free. There's no longer a free skip-the-line system at Disney World. Your only options are Genie+ (starting at $15+tax per person per day) and the individual Lightning Lanes.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm prone to motion sickness and don't do coasters and dislike heights. But I've experienced RotR several times, all without incident and I'm glad I did. It's totally immersive and unlike anything else at Disney World. So yes, it's true: Rise of the Resistance is not to be missed!
1. You must have already purchased a park ticket and have a park reservation to book Lightning Lanes. While you can view available Lightning Lanes for both types in the My Disney Experience App anytime, you cannot book them unless you have a valid park ticket AND a valid park reservation for the day.
You may be out of luck for purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes for any attraction if you're staying offsite on high crowd days. Rise of the Resistance used to be the clear winner of the popularity contest here, and that doesn't hold true anymore either. At all crowd levels, Flight of Passage sells out first.
Is Disney Lightning Lane Worth it Conclusion. As a general rule of thumb we do find the Disney World Lightning Lane to be worth it if you can find a way to save 60 minutes per attraction at a cost of under $11.00 per attraction.
