How The Rise of the Resistance Virtual Queue Will Work During Disney Jollywood Nights
For the first time ever, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is hosting its own hard-ticketed holiday party in the form of Disney Jollywood Nights.
This holiday season the Studios will come to life with festive dance parties, exclusive holiday stage shows, and of course fireworks.
While fans are obviously excited to celebrate the holidays in true Tinseltown style, one of the biggest questions looming over the party is how the queue for Rise of the Resistance would work.
A Virtual Queue Will Be Used During Jollywood Nights
Since opening in 2019, the epic Star Wars attraction has remained a fan-favorite and often has the longest line in the park.
When Rise of the Resistance initially opened, guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios had to register for a boarding group and join a virtual queue in order to experience the attraction.
In September 2021, Rise of the Resistance stopped using the boarding group system and instead allowed guests to wait in a traditional standby line. Guests who purchased Disney’s Genie+ system also had the opportunity to buy an Individual Lightning Lane to skip the line.
Well, in order to give guests a chance to spend more time on the dance floor, Disney is reinstating a virtual queue system for Rise of the Resistance during Disney Jollywood Nights. As such, there will be no standby queue available during the event.
How it Works
Guests attending the party will be able to request to join the virtual queue at 8:00 p.m. In order to join, guests must have a Jollywood Nights event ticket for that day linked to their My Disney Experience account.
With that being said, guests do not need to physically be inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios to request to join the queue.
Finally, each guest can request to enter the virtual queue no more than once per event.
So, if you plan on riding Rise of the Resistance during Jollywood Nights, make sure that you have your ticket linked and are ready to go at 8:00 p.m.
