The Magic Of Disney

Even after 40 visits to the Walt Disney World Resort, I still believe it’s one of the most magical places on Earth. From the big attractions to the little details, every visit to Disney World is filled to the brim with magic. What makes Disney extra special is the celebration of some of the best movies and shows of all time, attractions that capture the imaginations of people from ages zero to 100, and the training of cast members to be thoughtful and recognize guests celebrating special occasions. It’s a timeless theme park that manages to stay fresh and exciting.

Think of your favorite Disney movie. Either you had one come to mind immediately or you thought of so many, you couldn’t choose just one. That’s because Disney makes fantastic entertainment and has so much to offer that there’s something for everyone. My personal favorites are The Princess Diaries and Wreck It Ralph. Both movies have characters I relate to deeply. I might not have been a kid when Wreck It Ralph was released but it makes me happy that young girls can see Vanellope Von Shweets being her unique self and be inspired to be themselves too. They also have super fun soundtracks! While neither of my favorites have their own rides, plenty of their other brilliant properties have been turned into immersive experiences. There isn’t much that tops being able to meet your favorite characters in person!

A big part of why I love Wreck It Ralph is also why I love visiting Disney World with first-timers - the nostalgia. Wreck It Ralph makes me especially nostalgic for the video games I played growing up. This nostalgia truly comes to life every time I find myself in Hollywood Studios, competing for the highest score in Toy Story Midway Mania. No matter your age, Disney can make you feel like a kid again. There’s a sense of wonder on every ride and during every show because they’re so immersive and full of magical little details. The attractions that I’ve been able to revisit again and again bring back amazing memories. For instance, my mom and I got to check out Animal Kingdom before it was even open to the public, where we were shown the very first version of the Festival of the Lion King! The show remains my favorite Animal Kingdom attraction. Disney World manages to have the perfect combination of new and classic attractions. The classic attractions have so much charm and they are so intricately created that I notice something new every time. I think Haunted Mansion is a great example of this. From the delicious smells pumped into Soarin’ to the immersive story-driven experience of Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, Disney is always spreading a little extra pixie dust onto their creations.

Each park is its own little world but all have the uniquely Disney atmosphere. Part of that has to do with the cast members. Cast members are always trying to make sure you’re having the best time possible. I have especially great memories of cast members on visits when I was celebrating something. On our honeymoon, hubby and I got to skip the wait for riding Expedition Everest! We were in the single rider line and were happy to ride separately but once the cast member learned we had just gotten married, he insisted we ride together. It was a super sweet gesture I will never forget. Outside of special occasions, I’ve seen cast members go above and beyond. Another unforgettable experience was when my friend Katie and I got to help open Dinoland. We couldn’t believe we got to start our day radioing the rest of the park to say Dinoland was open and eating free Mickey bars! 

No matter when you go to Disney World, you’re bound to make memories that last a lifetime. Ready to start planning your next magical getaway? Now is the perfect time for us to start planning a summer vacation!

Best Tips for getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Pass at Disney's Hollywood Studios

The Best Tips for getting a Rise of The Resistance Boarding Pass-May the Force Be with You

I’ve scoured the internet and tried several of the “best” tips for getting a Rise of the Resistance (RotR) Boarding Pass at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and am here to share with you what I’ve found works best!

At least what worked best in the winter of 2020. And it goes WAY behind just trying for a boarding pass at 7am. Things change quickly in the “World” and I’ll do my best to keep this updated for you!

My Disney Experience App

YES- there IS an app for your trip! The grand central station of your trip will be the My Disney Experience App. If you are using our Theme Park Concierge Services you already know this and know that we will walk you through all of the app’s quirks.

The top things you need to make sure are going on in your app to make your boarding pass for RotR possible are:

• Have your party members all linked to your account

• Have your dated tickets linked to your account

• Have your Park Pass Reservation for the date you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Not sure if you have everything in order?

If you are a Travel With Nikki traveler just reach out to us. Not one of our travelers yet? What are you waiting for-sign up for a theme park package today! !

You can also reach out to Disney’s IT department at: 800-848-6413, be prepared for longer than normal hold times. Make sure all of your linking is done, and questions answered days before your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Speed Matters

No, I’m not talking about the Falcon’s ability to make the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs, I’m talking about the speed of your phone, iPad, or electronic device. (NOTE: You cannot use a computer. Boarding passes are only given out via My Disney Experience the app.) It is a good idea to check the Speed of the internet or cell phone data in various places at your resort. Resort Room Wi-Fi is generally slower than Wi-Fi in common areas and depending on your cell phone company, sometimes that is faster. I recommend using Fast.com to find out what is the fastest for your devcies. Once you have determined which are your fastest devices (use more than one to attempt your boarding pass collection!) and connection methods, make sure to be in position no later than 6:45am on the day you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Watch The Clock

Using a separate device from what you will use to secure your boarding pass, pull up the official clock provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. You will want to watch the clock and get your fingers ready to collect your boarding pass at EXACTLY 6:59:59am. It is common for all of the boardings passes to be gone within 5-10 seconds of 7am- Faster than any ship can make the Kessel run!

When the Clock Strikes 7am

Prior to 7am you’ll want to have your My Disney Experience app open to the main page and have scrolled down to the Square talking about “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance- Request Access with Virtual Que”. As soon as you see the clock strike 6:59:59 click on the JOIN button and say a little prayer, think happy thoughts, do a good luck dance, or whatever you do to create good karma.

Check out MY walk-through video below to get an idea of how the process will work.

Last Opportunity

If by chance you miss out on a Boarding Pass for Rise of the Resistance at 7am, you can try the same exact procedures at exactly 12:59:59pm on the day you are in Hollywood Studios. The one caveat being that you must have already entered the park for the day. So no making it from your comfy bed, poolside, or breakfast reservation. (Unless you snuck back to your resort after your morning entry).

Lets Review the Steps to getting your Boarding Pass at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Rise of the Resistance

• Have your app up to date and everything linked

• Know where the fastest internet is

• Keep an eye on the clock

• Maximize your chances by having more than one day during your trip to Hollywood Studios

Now I know that sounds like a LOT of planning just to secure a boarding pass for one ride in one park. Keep in mind this is THE most popular ride at the Walt Disney World Resort, it has decreased capacity due to physical distancing measures, AND being so new it does still have the occasional Porg that gets in the way and cause mischief and the ride has to close down.

The more you know, the better prepared you are and the better your chances will be at securing a coveted spot on Rise of the Resistance. You will be SO HAPPY you got to experience this cutting edge attraction!
