How to Navigate the Rise of Resistance
1. DOWNLOAD THE DISNEY APP + LINK TICKETS
For Disneyland, it’s the Disneyland app. For Walt Disney World, it’s the Walt Disney World My Disney Experience app. I strongly encourage everyone to have this whether they are riding or not because it is a life saver. In this case, obtaining a boarding pass is a must.
- Download the app a week before your visit to familiarize yourself with it. Set up your account (with an easy-to-remember password), link your credit card, find out where everything is, and you’re ahead of the game.
- After downloading the app, be sure to move It goes to your home screen for easy access. It’s something you use a lot on the go.
- Now you have the application, Link Tickets Before going to the park, for everyone in your party. This is helpful for booking Fast Passes or MaxPasses, but is also required if you want to ride Rise of the Resistance together in a group. If you get your tickets on the day, go early and be sure to link the app and all your tickets before entering the park before it opens.
- Have everyone in your party get the app and link tickets so everyone can try to get a boarding group. The more you try to do this, the more likely you are to get a boarding group. đ
2. Go to the park early
Homestay groups are available as soon as the park opens, so get to the park early. To do this, be sure to check park openings and plan to walk to the park entrance, go through security and go through the lines at the park entrance.
Disneyland typically opens early and lets guests pass through the gates before the park officially opens.I will try to be exist garden at least 15 minutes ago The park is open as boarding groups must be available in the park.
Get everyone in the party ready to open their app.
Note: From what everyone says, be sure to turn off Wifi, Bluetooth and all other apps to avoid slowing down your phone. Yes, homestay groups are fast and you want to give it the best chance to get one. đ
3. Join a boarding group
Now that you have the app, linked your tickets and are at the park, you need to join a boarding group. As we mentioned, boarding groups will not open until the park officially opens. Just when that happens, it’s time to let your quick fingers do the rest!
But how do you join a boarding group?
- Open the app and on the main screen you will see information about Rise of the Resistance.
- click learn more.
- then click Join the boarding group. If the button is grayed out and you cannot click it, click My status Join a group.
- If there is no group, try again! !
- If you do get a group, keep an eye out My status Know when you need to ride. When the green bar is full, it’s time to head out for a ride. From then on, you will have an hour to continue riding. Get your code and scan it at the entrance to queue.
- Note: You can also go to a few different physical locations to get your boarding pass. Ask the actor where they are and you can try to find one there. They will give you a piece of paper as your boarding pass with the time of your return journey.
Are you stressed? Yes! Is it worth it? Of course! ! Just make sure to get everyone in your party to try it out so you have a better chance of getting a boarding group.
