Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Rise of the Resistance wait times so long?
Rise is one of Disney's most popular attractions with relatively low hourly capacity due to its complex ride system. The attraction also experiences frequent brief downtimes for technical adjustments.
Should I rope drop Rise of the Resistance or buy Lightning Lane?
Both strategies work. Rope drop can get you on within 30-45 minutes if you arrive early, but Lightning Lane guarantees a short wait. Many guests do both strategies on different days.
How long is Rise of the Resistance?
The full experience is approximately 18 minutes from entering the first preshow to exiting the attraction. The trackless dark ride portion is about 4.5 minutes.
Does Rise of the Resistance break down often?
Rise has more technical complexity than most attractions, which can lead to temporary closures. When it reopens, additional Lightning Lane slots may become available.
