Rise of the Resistance is in hot demand as Guests try to experience the attraction during their Disney vacations. The virtual queue process has left many frustrated and without the opportunity to ride. Soon you will be able to skip all the frustration and head straight to defeating the First Order. But, it will come with a price! Would you pay?
Rise of the Resistance
Arguably, the most popular ride at Disney World is Rise of the Resistance. This immersive story-telling experience has you joining the Resistance to beat the First Order.
Since the attraction opened in December 2019, a virtual queue has been implemented to ensure a smooth boarding process. While things were a bit bumpy in the beginning, but Disney has worked out all the kinks. You can read our full guide to securing a boarding group HERE.
The virtual queue does tend to fill up within seconds, although there have been a few exceptions. For many not able to ride, this can be stressful and downright devastating.
Future of Rise
Josh D’Amaro, who is the Disney Parks Chairman, confirmed that guests will be able to buy their way onto Rise of the Resistance.
There are some attractions that use the Lightning Lane queue—which you can purchase individually—which is the ultimate in flexibility. Think about Rise of the Resistance. It’s a highly demanded attraction. Guests show up in the morning and they try to get into the virtual queue. We get as many people on there as we can, but inevitably someone is disappointed.
Now there’s another option on top of the virtual queue so if Rise of the Resistance is the reason you’re at Disneyland or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there will be an option for you to purchase Rise of the Resistance. So again: flexibility, optionality, better guest experience overall.

Now there’s another option on top of the virtual queue so if Rise of the Resistance is the reason you’re at Disneyland or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there will be an option for you to purchase Rise of the Resistance.
So, to clarify, if you don’t succeed in securing a boarding group you will be able to pay to ride Rise of the Resistance. We will keep you updated about how much this will cost when details become available.

We went yesterday Dec 17 , 2023 . We bought the additional Genie+/ Lightning Lane ticket for $30. which was well worth it. However, then we had to pay additional $36. to ride Rise of the Resistance! When does it stop?? Is every NEW ride gonna cost extra to enjoy? Disney used to be so beautiful especially during Christmas season with Pointsettas EVERYWHERE and lots of holiday lights! This year was bland. The snow show on Main Street was exciting but minimal . They used to have a beautiful water light show , but it was cancelled with no reason other than "circumstances beyond our control" we didn't stay long enough for the fireworks because the sky was slightly overcast so we figured that would be cancelled last min also . All in all it was still a beautiful fun visit with the family, just not nearly as magical as years past. Never even saw any of the Disney characters roaming around.

During pre plandemic my favorite ride in Epcot..."Soarin" had very short lines.. We went on it three times in a row. Having to go back through with very little wait was a rare welcomed memory. Last year they were booked out way in advance so we did could not even go in!
