From bright suns to rising moons, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continues to call travelers to the magic of Batuu, especially with the excitement of Walt Disney World Resort’s 18-month anniversary celebration getting closer and closer. As Disney ramps up to The World’s Most Magical Celebration honoring the 50th anniversary, they are continuing to enhance experiences thanks to the feedback from Guests.

Disney knows Guests love choice and flexibility when planning their time in a theme park—which is why, starting September 23, Disney will pause the use of virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios may experience this incredible attraction using a traditional standby queue for the first time since it opened in 2019.

Virtual queues continue to be helpful with attraction access, merchandise launches, grand openings and more, and Guests should continue to check the My Disney Experience app for the latest on how Disney is using virtual queues across Walt Disney World including its potential use at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at a later date, or from time to time.

In addition to virtual queues, Disney has been investing a lot into the Guest experience in other ways, including exciting new attractions on the horizon like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opening soon at EPCOT, and coming this fall, the new Disney Genie complimentary and convenient digital planning service designed to create your best Disney Day.

So, are you ready to rise up with the Resistance like never before? Whether it's your first time visiting the Black Spire Outpost or your 50th, we can’t wait to help you plan your next Walt Disney World vacation!
