How do boarding passes work for Rise of the Resistance?

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.

Virtual Queue Basics Basically, instead of standing in a regular standby line, you'll try to get a spot in a virtual queue that holds your place in a virtual line with other guests. If a ride has a virtual queue setup, that means there will NOT be a “standard” queue you can just stand and wait in.
