**UPDATE** Disney will once again be modifying the virtual queue for Rise of The Resistance with new release timeframes for the virtual queues.
Instead of the 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m. release times for virtual queues throughout the day, Hollywood Studios will be issuing them now at at 10 am and 2pm.
Disney World announced new details today about just how the newly updated virtual queue will work for Star Wars: Rise of The Resistance when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopens.
The biggest change is now guests will have an opportunity at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. to request to join the virtual queue. This means there is no need to arrive early to the park to check the virtual queue.
Here are the details:
- First, make sure you have the My Disney Experience app. Once you enter the park, log in to your account at one of the distribution times (10 a.m., 1 p.m. or 4 p.m.).
- Once you have logged in, select “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Virtual Queue” on the home screen. You will be able to view the current status and next steps for joining the virtual queue.
- The app will indicate when there is no availability for a specific distribution time. Some guests may join backup groups.
- As long as your My Disney Experience account is linked to park tickets for you and the others in your group, you can enroll everyone in the virtual queue at the same time. In order to give as many guests as possible the opportunity to join the Resistance, each guest can enter the virtual queue no more than once per day.
- Make sure push notifications are turned on for My Disney Experience so you will be alerted if your group is called to return. You’ll have up to an hour from the time of the alert to go to the entrance of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
- Please note that joining the virtual queue does not guarantee the ability to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
While you wait for your virtual queue group to be called, you can enjoy other experiences at Disney’s Hollywood Studios including the newest additon to the park, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
