Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

An Attraction in Hollywood Studios

Last updated: June 13, 2026

At a Glance

A mobile Resistance gun turret tucked into a scrubland forest marks the entrance to the most epic indoor dark ride in Disney theme park history. Rise of the Resistance is an innovative attempt to integrate at least four different ride experiences—trackless vehicles, a motion simulator, walk-through environments, and even an elevator drop—into Disney’s longest attraction ever.

The adventure begins as you explore the Resistance military outpost, laser-carved out of ancient stone. An animatronic BB-8 rolls in, accompanied by a hologram of Rey, who recruits you to strike a blow against the First Order. Fifty guests at a time exit the briefing room to board a standing-room- only shuttlecraft piloted by Nien Nunb from Return of the Jedi. As the ship breaks orbit, you can feel the rumble and see Poe Dameron accompanying you in his X-Wing, until a Star Destroyer snags you in its tractor beam and sucks you into its belly.

When the doors to your shuttlecraft reopen, you’ve been convincingly transported into an enormous hangar, complete with 50 Stormtroopers, TIE Fighters, and a 100-foot-wide bay window looking into outer space. Cast members clad as First Order officers brusquely herd captive guests into holding rooms to await their interrogation by blackclad baddie Kylo Ren.

Before long, you’re making a break for it in an eight-passenger (two four-seat rows) troop transport with an animatronic droid as your driver; the car is capable of traveling without a fixed track and simulating movement. The ride blends dozens of robotic characters and enormous sets with video projections to create some of the most overwhelming environments ever seen in an indoor ride. One sequence sends you in between the legs of two towering AT-ATs while dodging laser fire from legions of Stormtroopers, while another puts you face-to-face with the Solo-slaying Ren. In the epic finale, you’ll survive an escape pod’s dramatic crash back to Batuu, a heart-stopping multistory plunge enhanced by digital projections. The drop at the end isn’t quite as intense as the one on the Tower of Terror—but don’t underestimate its ability to loosen your lunch.

Touring Tips

Early Theme Park Entry?
Yes
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours?
No
We think Rise of the Resistance is the best ride Disney has produced in decades. It’s the most popular ride in the park, and the most complex ride Disney has ever made. That complexity makes it prone to breakdowns—daily, on average, and sometimes more than once.

To minimize your wait time without paying for Lighting Lane access, be near the front of the pack heading to this attraction when the park opens each morning. This may require arriving more than 60 minutes before park opening. Otherwise, try again in the evening; with no nighttime spectacular currently at the Studios, wait times decrease close to park closing.

Day-Of Lightning Lane Return Times

The chart below shows typical Lightning Lane return times while you're in the park on the day of your visit. You'd use this chart to determine two things:

  • What your return time will be if you obtain a Lightning Lane at a specific time of day
  • The odds that all Lightning Lane slots will be gone at a specific time

The chart's data markers change from circles to X's when the odds of Lightning Lanes being gone exceed the percentage you select in the dropdown above the chart.

Return times jump around a lot once the initial supply of Lightning Lane slots runs out. You'll see this in the chart as jagged lines with 'X' markers on them. Those return times are based on people cancelling Lightning Lane selections, which causes sudden, unpredictable return times to show up.
