According to Disney, there will be a change to the boarding group process for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance when Disneyland reopens on April 30th.
Previously, Main Street USA would be flooded with guests as everyone tried to get into the park to be eligible for the one and only boarding group opening time. Now, Disneyland is moving to the same distribution schedule in use at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
While exact boarding group opening times haven’t been announced, Disney shared the following details:
- Guests with a valid ticket and theme park reservation who will start their day at Disneyland park will be able to access the virtual queue system and check for an available boarding group in the morning on the day of their park reservation. Guests will need to have their park tickets linked to their Disney account.
- To access the second virtual queue opportunity for later that day, guests must have a valid ticket and park reservation, and have entered Disneyland park, or Disney California Adventure park with a Park Hopper ticket by the second enrollment time. Guests beginning their day at Disney California Adventure Park may then enter Disneyland park with their Park Hopper ticket after 1 p.m. for their boarding group.
What is notable here is that guests who have a Park Hopper ticket AND start their day at Disney California Adventure will be eligible for the afternoon distribution. This differs from Walt Disney World where only guests who have a Disney Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios are eligible for a boarding group.
