Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

We will start with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, where we found out today that its Lightning Lane offering will follow Disney Genie+ and go to a tiered pricing system. 

Depending on the time of year you are going, prices will range from $15 to $22 per person during October. The expectation is that the price will increase further in November. Before today, Lightning Lane had a flat fee of $15 per person. 

Rise of the Resistance has been noted as one of the most technologically advanced rides in the World and one of Walt Disney World's most popular attractions, with queues regularly hitting over two hours most mornings. 

Scott Gustin a highly respected Disney Blogger said the following:
