If you’ve been to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, then you know its downfall.

HIGH wait times! Hollywood Studios is jam-packed with exciting and popular attractions with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and thrill rides at the end of Sunset Boulevard. We see some of the longest wait times in ALL of Disney World at this park frequently. Slinky Dog Dash, the adorable coaster in Toy Story Land, has held the top spot when it comes to average wait times for a while…but now there’s a new winner!

Well, let’s just say it’s a previous winner coming back to the surface. Rise of the Resistance is now posting a wait time WAY above Slinky Dog Dash. Surprisingly, wait times stayed pretty consistent to last week or went down at many other popular rides around Disney World. So if you want to get on Rise of the Resistance, you may be waiting some extra time!

Don’t want to wait? We don’t blame you! There are a few things you can do to try and avoid the wait.

• Buy an Individual Lightning Lane. It does cost extra money, but you’ll have access to the ride’s Lightning Lane which will give you an expedited wait time.
• Rope drop! Yes, you will probably be one of hundreds trying to rope drop Rise of the Resistance. However, this is when you’re likely to have a shorter wait time than in the middle of the day! This is a good use of time especially if you have Early Theme Park Entry by staying at a Disney World hotel.

Take a look at all of the average wait times in Disney World below.
