food IS a theme park
It was BRIGHT SUNS for us this morning when we scored a boarding group for Disneyland’s Rise of the Resistance opening day today!
Rise of the Resistance
We were celebrating our mastery over Disneyland’s virtual queue system with a Toydaria Swirl at the Milk Stand until Boarding Group 18 (yeah, we PROS) was called to duty! But then, something TERRIBLE happened!
We’re out here reporting LIVE at Disneyland this morning to see how the grand opening of Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge West is goin’ down!
Starbucks line…somewhere
How was traffic getting here, you ask? Not SO HOT! But we DID make it here just in time for the gates to open with the rest of these fine Rise of the Resistance rope-dropping champions! And even though we ALL got here SUPER EARLY — we knew we’d be in for a looong wait until the mad-dash to secure our boarding groups once the virtual queue finally opened at 8 AM!
We were up with the birds this morning to grab a coveted boarding group to ride Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios today.

But even though we were up before the Bright Suns, we still had to wait an hour and a half to ride the popular attraction!
If you’ve been following along with our coverage of Hollywood Studios’ Rise of the Resistance since it’s grand opening back in December, then you know how tricky getting into a coveted boarding group for the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge major attraction has been at Disney World!
Rise of the Resistance
And with Disneyland’s Rise of the Resistance poised to open on January 17th, here’s what you’ll need to know to ensure your place in line at the west coast’s version of the ride!
The early bird has a better chance at catching a spot in Rise of the Resistance’s virtual queue since you can reserve your boarding group when Hollywood Studios opens.

And due largely in part to Rise of the Resistance’s high-demand, Hollywood Studios is extending its hours… again!
Exciting news, everybody! Hollywood Studios is extending its park hours!

That means you’ll be able to get in line for when the park opens to snag those Rise of the Resistance boarding groups even earlier! Find out when and how early the park will be opening below!
Today is the day, folks!
Stormtroopers!
Rise of the Resistance is FINALLY open to the public! We got to check this awesome ride out yesterday for ourselves, but we’re back and keeping an eye on crowds and how the ride is holding up on opening day. But if you were hoping to get to the park and jump in line to ride, today is not your day.
WOW! The opening day of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is FINALLY here — and the general public will finally have the opportunity to explore the planet of Batuu, sip on creative concoctions at Oga’s Cantina, and fly the Millennium Falcon.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World
Though we have known about all of the exciting shops, attractions, and dining locations that the land offers, one question has been stuck in our mind. How do you get it?! And Disney has FINALLY answered this question today!
