Ride Tips

The ride is one of the most sought-after attractions in all of Disney World and is only available through standby or a paid Lightning Lane. If this is a must-do for you, either head there right at rope drop or consider paying for a Lightning Lane to guarantee a spot.

Will Rise of the Resistance Cause Motion Sickness?

The ride features a mix of motion simulation and dark ride elements, which can cause motion sickness for some guests. If you are prone to motion sickness, consider wearing a motion sickness bracelet or taking an over-the-counter nausea remedy. It’s a fairly smooth ride, and the motion simulator is quick, but still worth considering if you’re especially sensitive.
