Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance: Boarding Pass or Fail?

[robertpaulsen]

Okay, we have crappy phones with crappy coverage so we really didn’t think that we could do any of the virtual queuing that Disneyland had required to get a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance ride at Galaxy’s Edge. But we braved the tsunami of people there to give it our best shot!

1. I rode this ride over a week ago in Orlando

My son had ridden this ride in Orlando over the MLK weekend. Prior to getting to the park I had reset my password on My Disney Experience a couple of times. As if was I got to the Hollywood Studios five minutes after it opened and got in boarding group 124 and so did not ride the attraction until after 6 PM This was a great attraction.

2. I am hoping to visit Florida next year.

Can't wait to see if there are any differences between the ride in Orlando versus what I experienced in Anaheim. I'm still blown away by Rise!

3. You have to be inside the gate at Hollywood Studios to use the app

Here is youtube that has the view from the back of the transport. Like most riders, I was focused up front view and missed the back view

I also enjoyed the M. Falcon ride and I like Blue Milk over Green Milk

[robertpaulsen]

4. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I loved the Falcon and the blue milk. Did you shoot that youtube vid? I really enjoyed it!

5. No, my son found it and sent it to me

I am considered to be technologically challenged by my children. They are still amazed that I got onto the ride. My son was checking the My Disney App to keep track when my boarding group was coming up from his office.

It is a great video and I totally ignored the back half of the transport

I have one law partner and a client who I had to describe the ride.

My son has a DVC membership and is taking both of his sisters and his brother in law at the end of the month to WDW. They will be riding this ride

6. Hope your son and his sisters enjoy it!

What I really loved is that it is more than just a ride; it's a completely immersive experience unlike any other. I can't wait to do it again!

8. My son has been on this ride once

He plans to try to tide a couple of times on his next trip

[Gothmog]

7. Here is another video that my son found

There are a ton of spoilers in this video

[robertpaulsen]

9. Thanks Gothmog! That's a great video.

We're hoping to see it at Hollywood Studios next year. We'll be curious to see if they're still doing the virtual queue then or not.

10. All of my kids are at WDW

There are good size crowds

They have been on Rise twice now

[robertpaulsen]

11. That's good to hear, Gothmog!

I was wondering if crowds had dwindled lately. Glad your kids are enjoying themselves!

12. My children are back home

My son and youngest child rode Rise twice and my middle child once. Her husband threw up on the Smuggler's Run ride and my kids banned him from Rise

[robertpaulsen]

13. Yikes! What a bad reaction to Smuggler's Run!

I went on it at Disneyland and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very similar to Star Tours in some ways.

14. My daughter and son in law got married at WDW

It was a nice wedding at the pavilion at the Boardwalk. He is not a Disney fan and does not do well on rides. My daughter wants to go to WDW in October for her anniversary and it will be interesting to see how this goes

[robertpaulsen]

15. That's wonderful!

I'm sure they'll have a great anniversary. He just needs to stick to the walk-through attractions!

16. My family used the Disability Access System this trip and did Rise three times in a week

There are new details on each ride

Disney is cracking down on the DAS. To sign up, you all have to be in the park and the disabled member has to check in first before the rest on the group can check in. Disney takes a picture of you when you sign up and they called me by name when I cheked in

[robertpaulsen]

17. Thanks for the info!

I know there have been a lot of changes since Disney adopted the Genie + system.

18. My son was planning on using the Genie system but we ended up using DAS instead
