Disney Makes New Changes to Virtual Queue for New Star Wars Ride

Disney World is making a slight adjustment to the virtual queue process for one of the most popular experiences at Walt Disney World Resort, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Beginning Sunday, Dec. 20, distribution times for virtual queue enrollment will be 7 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Currently the virtual queue reopens daily at 2 p.m. for anyone who wasn’t already able to join a boarding group earlier in the day.

Keep in mind, to access the 1 p.m. virtual queue opportunity Guests must have a valid ticket or pass, a Disney Park Pass Reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and be inside the park. Access to a boarding group is subject to availability and not guaranteed.

As a reminder, only Guests with a Disney Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be able to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

When Park Hopper hours become available on Jan. 1, 2021, Guests visiting from another theme park will not be able to request to join the virtual queue. We encourage these Guests to explore other areas of the park, including in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge where they may experience Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run among other offerings.

Disneyland Paris Is An Experience You Can’t Miss
If you always wanted to visit Disneyland Paris, now is a great time to do it!

If you’ve never been to Disneyland Paris—or maybe you even still call it EuroDisney—there’s plenty more at the French park than what you might realize. If you’re wondering if it is worth the trip? Let’s just say it’s the only place in the world you can eat dinner at a Mickey Mouse rodeo and experience “Ratatouille” in real life.

The two parks are so close together, you can easily visit both in one day, the tickets you can use all day, jumping from park to park, as you wish. I recommend at least three days though, two in Disneyland Park and one in Walt Disney Studios. The ideal vacation, if you want to see the shows, try most of the rides, and meet characters, is six days (In my opinion). If you are staying in a Disney hotel, you of course have the extra magic hours, which you should really use! You also want have time to see Disney Village, which is a lovely place to relax before and/or after going to the parks.

At Disneyland Paris transportation is a breeze and very accessible! There is a train that takes you from Paris, straight to the parks. If you are traveling by air then getting to the magic from Paris has never been easier with your choice of shuttle buses, rental cars, train services and private chauffeur. ‘Magical Shuttle’ Airport Bus takes you from the Paris airports straight to the heart of the magic. Magical Shuttle airport bus is only available as an option and is not included in a package.

The park, which is in the middle of celebrating its 25th anniversary keeps the celebration going strong. The celebration includes:

Disneyland Park:
- Disney characters in special anniversary outfits
- New parade, called “Stars on parade”, which is every day at 17:30
- New castle show at nighttime, called “Disney Illuminations”, which features new songs, pictures, and even has Live action Disney movies, Star Wars and Marvel included
- All new amazing merchandise featuring 25 anniversary, and stars on parade
- New decorations with 25 years anniversary theme
- A show at the Royal Castle stage called “Mickey presents: Happy Anniversary Disneyland Paris”
- A show at the Royal Castle stage called “The Starlit Princess Waltz”
In Walt Disney Studios:
- A new show called “Mickey and the magician”
- New decorations with 25 years anniversary

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster To Receive Marvel Make-Over at Walt Disney Studios Park

If you believed the Aerosmith Theme on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster would last for ever, then “Dream on.” The popular high speed roller coaster will be totally reimagined as a high-speed, hyper-kinetic adventure, in which guests will team up with Iron Man and their favorite Avengers.

Now if you are wondering about the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster located at Hollywood Studios and if it will be re-themed too, there are no plans to ad a Marvel overlay to that attraction so don’t worry.

For now the focus is on Disneyland Paris where popular stories and characters from the Marvel universe are already being incorporated into park in the form of this summer’s Marvel Summer of Super Heroes celebration, plus plans for Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. Marvel is definitely in that parks future so this change make a lot of since for them.

Very few other details about the re-theming were offered, but surly more will be coming our way so stay tuned for future updates.

You’ll have the chance to have a dance-off with the Guardians of the Galaxy, watch the ruthless Loki try to seize power, meet Captain America and be awed by an amazing show that features Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and many more!

Marvel: Super Heroes United

Marvel: Super Heroes United is a truly immense show at the Studio Theater in the heart of Walt Disney Studios Park. The programme for this superproduction includes live-action on-stage antics with Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Black Panther and Spider-Man – to name just a few!

Marvel: Super Heroes United brings iconic figures from the Marvel universe to the stage with a focus on three themes: origins, duality and unity. This 20-minute show will be performed several times a day at Walt Disney Studios Park.

Stark Expo presents: Energy for Tomorrow!

Tony Stark invites you to the open-air Production Courtyard to present the latest version of his revolutionary invention – an ‘Arc Reactor’ that generates green energy. But look out… It’s exactly the kind of event that a certain Loki loves to interrupt. Thor’s fearsome half-brother will try to use it as an opportunity for a power grab. Let’s hope that Black Widow, Spider-Man and the god of thunder himself are nearby to foil his plans…

Several times a day at the foot of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, you’ll have the opportunity to see this amazing show that’s as action-packed as it is offbeat.

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Dance-Off

Watch out – they’ll soon find themselves in danger and will have a mission for you. That’s where you come in. Get ready to lend a helping hand to the Guardians of the Galaxy! They’re counting on you to help them – and they promise to get you moving!
