- A Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group is currently required in order to experience the ride. There is no standby line for those without a valid boarding group.
- To be eligible to join a boarding group, you must have scanned your valid ticket/MagicBand at the Park entrance. This is true for all members of a party who plan to join a boarding group. One person can’t go to the Park, scan in, and sign everyone in their party up for a boarding group if the other members are back in the room sleeping. Or even if they’re just farther back in line and haven’t yet scanned.
- To join a boarding group, you either press the “Join Boarding Group” button on the first screen that opens on the My Disney Experience app, or see one of the Guest Experience Team/Guest Services cast members, who will be standing just inside the Park.
- In the week since Rise of the Resistance opened, all boarding group spots have filled before 9am every day.
The author recommends getting to the Studios around 5:45 if you want to be in the earliest possible boarding group... they start letting people through the tapstiles at 6:30 am. After 12/22 when the Christmas crowds start rolling in they will probably let people in by 6:00am.
