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!

How much faster is Lightning Lane? On average the lightning lane will always have a much shorter wait time compared to the standard Disney World line, but it usually combines with the regular line before the ride. As a result, it's common to have a wait time of around 5-10 minutes, even when using the Lightning Lane.

I think genie plus is pretty good if you don't mind the money and are fast at making your lightning lanes, but some rides just aren't on genie plus, and that's the individual lightning lanes. So if you dont mind the cost i'd purchase genie plus and the individual lightning lanes as you go.
