If Rise of the Resistance is a must-do for you and you are trying to make the most of your day in the park, spending some extra cash for a Lightning Lane might be the way to go. Those who are staying at Disney World hotels have early entry and can hop in line as soon as the park opens for them.

For guests who decide not to use MagicBands, you can ask for a Key to the World Card either when you check-in to your resort or go to Guest Services before entering your first park. Each guest will have their own card, and these cards are totally free. Cards feature a variety of designs.
