Rise of the Resistance SHOCKED Us This Week in Disney World

Rise of the Resistance is one of the newest rides in Disney World and to say people LOVE it is an understatement.

We’ve seen multi-hour wait times on multiple occasions and it is usually one of the first Individual Lightning Lanes to sell out for the day. So that’s why we were SHOCKED to see how low the average wait time is for the Star Wars attraction this week!

Last week, wait times saw a drop across the board due to Hurricane Idalia — Rise of the Resistance had a 57-minute average wait time.

This week, however, the popular attraction posted a 47-minute average wait time. Yes, you’re reading that correctly — wild, right? September is typically a month with lower crowds since it’s between summer break and the holidays, but this was still pretty shocking.

Take a look at the rest of the average wait times in Disney World below:
