One can imagine that this makes it somewhat disappointing for fans who are traveling with the new Star Wars-themed areas specifically in mind. The word on the street is that this attraction is the hardest by far to access, with friends of mine saying that in five trips to the magic, not once have they been able to get a boarding pass. This does cut down on the people who can attempt to snag a last-minute reservation but also leaves you with little time to accommodate it, even if you do manage to get one. Now this time, you must already be inside the Hollywood Studios park to access it.

This lovely invention called a virtual queue reopens again at 1:00pm for round two. You spend five minutes furiously poking at your phone until something pops up to tell you ‘bad luck.’ By all reports, this is a challenging process, often felt to be similar to a lottery system. Not to be confused with the changing rules of the second window, your initial attempt can be made from anywhere, not confined to having already entered the park gates. Rise of the Resistance is a whole new kettle of crazy where each guest with a valid park ticket or annual pass can (in theory) request access to the virtual queue through the My Disney Experience app from 7:00am on the day of your visit. Sure, you may be deemed certifiably insane to line up for six hours to experience that one attraction, but the point is, you can do so if you wish, avoiding the disappointment of returning home without ticking that box. And the ones we can’t get in advance, like that elusive Flight of Passage pass, you have the option to line up for in the park. We have been conditioned to respect a system that has us choosing our Fast Pass attractions weeks before arrival. By most accounts, the headline attraction in the new grounds of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is very impressive that is, if you can get on it. When Rise of the Resistance opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 5th of 2019, we, the Disney community at large, were introduced to a new system of pre-booking an attraction that proved to be a substantial change from the likes of FastPass+ and Max Pass that we had become accustomed to.
