Disney has officially confirmed that the way guests experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland is changing, with testing of a hybrid standby and virtual queue beginning today, November 22nd.
Disneyland will begin the day with standby queue access for Rise of the Resistance and the Park could potentially activate the virtual queue on certain days and times. The virtual queue will be paused during the test.
Since the attraction opened in January 2020, at 7 a.m. and 12 p.m. PT daily, Disneyland Guests race to attempt to secure a boarding pass for the Star Wars-themed ride, which features sequel trilogy characters like Rey (Daisy Ridley), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Finn (John Boyega), Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), and the adorable droid BB-8.
Disneyland visitors are encouraged to check the Disneyland mobile app prior to 7 a.m. before arriving at the Park and throughout the day to see if Rise of the Resistance is using a standby or virtual queue.
If the virtual queue is activated, visitors will need to be inside Disneyland to access the Rise of the Resistance virtual queue. Previously, the Rise of the Resistance virtual queue could be accessed anywhere — at Disneyland, DCA, Downtown Disney, or from home or a hotel.
The Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure attraction in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure began testing a standby queue on November 4.
This brings the ride inline with Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as they moved away from the boarding group system and to a standby queue on September 23rd.
