Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance wait times

What it is

A long, multi-part adventure: you are recruited by the Resistance, captured by the First Order and escape through a Star Destroyer in trackless vehicles. Mostly a dark ride, with one drop at the end.

Thrill level: ●●●●● Moderate (3/5) · mostly in the dark · drops · indoors · must be 40 in (102 cm) or taller

Opened: 5 December 2019 (7 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 10pm (typically ~20 min posted). Busiest: around 11am (~55 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~30 min.

Typical means the median posted wait across every day in our log at that hour; crowd level, weather and breakdowns move it. For a specific date, the planner adjusts for that day’s forecast crowd.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 53 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 46 (from timed waits people recorded, 2015–2021 — before today’s Lightning Lane system, so treat it as an estimate). DisneyIQ shows both numbers on the live board.

The whole experience takes around 18 minutes from start to finish.
