Cinderella Castle
Well, you’re probably excited enough already at the thought of eating at your favorite restaurants, riding some of those classic rides, or just saying hello to the characters you love. Well, now you can get even MORE excited and get a glimpse at some of the things you can enjoy in Disney World right now with this NEW video!
Getting a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, one of Disney World’s most popular attractions, can be one of the more difficult things you do throughout your entire Disney World trip.
Rise of the Resistance
You’ll want to keep in mind those new Boarding Group distribution times, get everything set up in the My Disney Experience app ahead of time, and ask for some help from the Force. If you’re lucky enough to get a Boarding Group, the key is then to return in time to ride the attraction. How much time do you have to get back to Rise once your group is called? Well, we actually noticed a bit of a change with that today.

Today, we were lucky enough to get a Boarding Group (we were crossing ALL our fingers and toes) and we got called back to ride the attraction in the afternoon, but the line was already VERY long and eventually we ended waiting for Rise of the Resistance in part of ANOTHER attraction’s queue that was quite muppetsational!
You’ve got all of your tickets linked in My Disney Experience, you’ve got all of your family members’ accounts set up and ready to go in the app, and you’ve stretched your fingers and practiced tapping at a super fast speed, but when the Boarding Groups for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance are released you only get…a backup boarding group.

“Backup” boarding groups are assigned to guests after the day’s official boarding groups limit has been reached. Guests with a boarding group may get the chance to ride this incredibly popular ride IF, and only IF, all of the official boarding groups are already called, the attraction is still operating (without technical issues), and the park is still open.
So, you may be wondering — “what are the chances that I get to ride Rise if I only score a backup boarding group?” Here’s what we’ve found out.
