Best time to ride
When to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
Rise of the Resistance holds steady from mid-morning into the evening, so a late ride costs no more than a midday one. The real drop comes in the final hour before close. It breaks down often, so keep a backup for that last hour.

About this data
Built from 307,297 posted-wait samples at Hollywood Studios since Jan 2025. These are Disney's posted standby waits, not timed waits. See how our data works.
Ride Ready builds the wait numbers on this page automatically from those posted waits. The Lightning Lane facts come from our Lightning Lane guide. The board at the top shows the posted wait while the park is open; when it can't, it shows the usual range.
