Lately, we have seen some of the Disney Parks divert from virtual queues to move to a standby queue.

With Disney Genie already available at Walt Disney World Resort, moving some of the virtual queues into standby made a lot of sense, as virtual eliminated the incentive for Guests to purchase Disney Genie+ or any of the additional attraction Lightning Lane tickets. Now that Disneyland is preparing to roll out the same system, we have seen a similar shift. Just like Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland Park is currently testing their Rise of the Resistance attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to be a standby queue, just like WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure.

The change has now been implemented in the Park, and it seems to have caused mass crowds this morning! Wonders of Magic (@wonders_of_magic) took to Instagram to share photos and videos of the giant crowds waiting to enter Batuu this morning.

The Instagram post noted:

Starting today Disneyland is not requiring guests to join a boarding group to enter arise of the Resistance

The Park opened at 8:00 a.m., and within 30 minutes, Wonders of Magic returned to Instagram to note that the wait time was already over two and a half hours. We saw a similar spike at Walt Disney World when a standby queue was enacted. However, it seemed some Guests had better luck in the evening by entering the line near Park-close. Once Disney Genie is available at Disneyland, Guests will be able to purchase an individual Lightning Lane ticket for Rise of the Resistance. This will be separate cost from Disney Genie+, which is $20.00 per Guest per day. At Disney World, the price fluctuates but stays around $15.00 for a single ride per person.

Below is what Disney has to say about Disneyland’s upcoming Disney Genie addition:

Disney describes Rise of the Resistance as:

Accept a Mission from the Resistance The Resistance needs your help! Hidden in the forest outside Black Spire Outpost, the Resistance is gathering recruits for a secret mission.

Disney still has virtual queue instructions on the Disneyland website, so it seems that the testing phase is not yet permanent.
