Starting today, Disney has added support for “Backup Boarding Groups” for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. According to literature handed out to guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning, a backup boarding group opportunity may open up in the My Disney Experience app should Disney get through all initial boarding groups.

UPDATE: We’ve received further clarification on the Backup Boarding Groups here: https://blogmickey.com/2019/12/update-clarification-on-timing-of-backup-boarding-groups-for-rise-of-the-resistance-already-gone-for-today/

This opportunity would only present itself in the evening hours, closer to closing should all 100+ boarding groups get to ride. To be notified of a backup boarding group (if applicable), make sure you have push notifications enabled in the My Disney Experience app.

The presence of a backup boarding group doesn’t change anything in our Rise of the Resistance boarding group virtual queue guide because there’s no indicate that a backup boarding group will even be called this evening. Also, there is no guarantee that if you secure a backup boarding group that Disney will get to it. That said, if you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios this evening, it doesn’t hurt to keep an eye out!
