Genie+ and Rise of the Resistance

[GeorgiaHoo]

So we have two days planned at DHS this coming week and want to experience Rise of the Resistance. My understanding is that this is a paid lightning lane ride. Have folks had success getting this or is there something special we need to do? TIA.

If your staying at a Disney Resort, right at 7 AM, use your My Experience App click on my genie day, and select the paid LL. Keep refreshing if the time does not appear at first. Sometimes at 7 AM it may show that nothing is available but a few minutes later it does. I would practice with the app for a few days prior to your trip. I do that now, and my next trip is not until December. I noticed that some days it appears at 7 am, sometimes a little later. You do not need to pay for Genie plus $15, to purchase a LL. Hope this helps. Make sure your Disney account is up to date with CC information.

I don't see a paid LL option on the app at this point. Maybe it will show up tomorrow when I can start making Genie+ reservations?

Was able to get Rise 2 weeks ago on the first of our 2 HS days. As others have said, be sure to have your credit card set in the app to save time. We got ILL for around 11am which was right when I wanted it. Keep refreshing and don't give up if Rise sells out at 7am, there will be another drop of available times at around 7:17am. I was worried about getting it and it ended up being easier than I expected. Good luck.

How do you practice with the APP? We are arriving in late Aug and I am so confused.

At 7 am, open the my experience app. Open my genie day, open tip board. At the top you can pick your park, for example Epcot. It will show what is available. Click on what ride or experience you want. You won’t be able obviously to secure that choice right now but it definitely helps knowing the process. Just remember if you don’t see something available refresh your screen. It not that hard remember that you can make your first selection at 7 am. You can make a Genie+ and LL. Since the parks open at 9 am you can’t make another selection until two hours after the parks open.
Go on to You Tube, find Resort TV one and look for his Genie + video. It will help you a lot. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, very helpful!

So do those ILLs really sell out immediately, first thing?

It's VERY different at Disneyland (not surprisingly.)
