How This LITTLE Rise of Resistance Virtual Queue GLITCH Could Impact Your Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney4me · July 16, 2020

You can bet that we spent our morning trying to nab a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance.

Rise of the Resistance is the super high-demand ride in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — even in the limited capacity reopening days of Hollywood Studios! If there’s one thing that’s no fun, it’s running into a glitch when boarding groups are loading. Today, when we were trying to grab our spot in the Virtual Queue, we ran into a glitch that’s pretty tiny — but it could mean the difference between you getting a boarding group or not!

We popped onto My Disney Experience right at 10AM to try to grab a spot in the first Virtual Queue window. These spots have been filling up in under a minute in some cases, so we needed to move fast. To our surprise, when we got to the “Create Your Party” screen. Thus meaning our name wasn’t pre-selected to join a group!

Rise Glitch

We had to rush to get our name selected and by the time everything was sorted out, groups were all full! See what we mean, this little glitch could get in the way of your ride on Rise. To our surprise, this happened to us AGAIN at 1PM and caused us to miss the window to grab a boarding group. Luckily, there is more queue window today, so hopefully, we have a little more luck later!

Remember, if you have any trouble with the Virtual Queue system, take a screenshot and reach out to a Cast Member. They may be able to help! That’s what we’re doing and we will let you know what they say! Stay tuned to DFB for all of the latest updates about Rise of the Resistance in a reopened Disney World!
