Guests Staying at Walt Disney World Resort Hotels Will Soon Have Early Access to Rise of the Resistance
All the buzz today has been about the super-popular Rise of the Resistance attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Today marks the first time since the attraction opened that Guests could access the attraction via a standby queue and not having to get into the virtual queue. And, let me tell you, the wait times were long – Up to 220 minutes was the highest I saw.

Beginning October 1, 2021 – the same day of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary – that might change for Guests who are staying at select Walt Disney World Resort Hotels as the Rise of the Resistance attraction has been added to the list of attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios eligible for Early Theme Park Entry.
Early Theme Park Entry will allow those select Guests who are staying at an “on property” Walt Disney World Resort Hotel to access the four Theme Parks 30 minutes earlier on each day of their visit. Thus. giving them an advantage to getting in the stand-by queue each morning.
