Cancel Your Other Plans. You’ll Be Stuck in This Disney World Line for HOURS Today

What could you do in 3.5 hours? Run a half marathon maybe? Watch a Marvel or Star Wars movie? Watch around 7 episodes of 30-minute-long shows? Eat 10 DOLE Whips? Ride maybe 5 rides or so with 30 minute+ waits? Well, if you’re at Disney World, it might take you 3.5 hours just to do a SINGLE thing.

Hollywood Studios Entrance

Yes, 3.5 hours do to one, single, solitary thing — get on a popular Hollywood Studios attraction.

Put on your patience pants if you’re heading into Disney’s Hollywood Studios today — you’re gonna need them! As we walked past one of the park’s most popular rides (and truly one of the most popular rides in all of Disney World) we saw some staggering lines and waits.

If you want to get on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance right now, you’re looking at a 3.5 HOUR wait. Yes, 3 hours and 30 minutes to see Rey, Kylo Ren, and Stormtroopers all caught in an epic battle for the fate of the galaxy — with you thrown right into the middle of it, of course.

The line for Rise of the Resistance has been very long in the past, don’t get us wrong, but the wait today is something you’ll really need to prepare for. With the Spring Break crowds potentially on their way and the high crowd levels we’ve seen in the parks lately, perhaps the long wait is no surprise.

If this ride is a must-do for you and you haven’t ridden it already today, get ready to stand in line for a while. Grab some snacks before you wait and come prepared with some games on your phone and a phone charger.

Quite the Wait

We saw this 210 minute wait reflected on the My Disney Experience app, and noticed that the app didn’t even feature calculations for wait times for the remainder of the day (at least, not yet).

Get Ready to Stand in Line

Also note that the Genie+ portion of the My Disney Experience app showed that Lightning Lanes were “not currently offered” for Rise of the Resistance. These have been selling out quickly in the mornings, so if getting a Lightning Lane for this ride is a top priority, you’ll want to snatch it up as SOON as you can.

Due to the lengthy wait, we saw another interesting thing happening by Rise. It looks like Disney is utilizing a bit of a space, which is traditionally a walkway, as part of the Rise of the Resistance queue.

The area that used to be an open walkway for guests to use to get to Muppet*Vision 3D was blocked off and added to the queue area just to the left of the entrance. The only walkway to the Muppets area was on the other side of a little island area.

Some Line Adjustments

Essentially, even if you’re not getting on Rise, prepare the lengthy line to cause some potential interruptions or complications to your usual walkways.
