That “one more ride” argument just got a little stronger. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is now listed among the attractions available during Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The addition was reported October 9. We checked Disney’s current official lineup on October 10 and confirmed Rise is on it.
Who gets the extra evening time?
This benefit is for registered guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and other participating hotels, including the Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve and Shades of Green. It operates on select nights at select parks. Valid park admission is still required.
Being at Hollywood Studios late does not, by itself, make someone eligible. Check your hotel against Disney’s participating-hotel list, then check the official park calendar for your actual date.
A reason to rethink the end of your park day
If you qualify, Rise gives you another option when deciding which attractions to save for the evening. That could make a daytime break and a later return worth considering instead of trying to fit everything into one uninterrupted stretch.
Build in a backup, though. Disney says the attraction lineup and operating schedule can change, and rides may not always be operational. Inclusion on this list is not a promise of a walk-on or a particular wait time.
For the middle of that park day, our Hollywood Studios food-break guide can help you think through a pause before the evening plans.
The NRDA question: Would Rise convince you to stay late, or does your perfect Disney night end with dinner and an early bedtime?
