Long time listener, first time caller 
I feel like my experience on a holiday couldn't have gone better. Total time queue, preshows, and ride: 1 hour.
I set my alarm for 2:15am on Monday, January 20, got out of bed at 2:20am, and was on the road with my daughter at 3:05am. One stop for a bathroom break, and we were in the Hollywood Studios parking lot just before 6am. In the park line at 6:10am. I've never been this far back - it was well past the ticket booths and the line kept building. We shuffled through the gates at 6:40am, and were on Sunset Boulevard by 6:50am.
At 7am I couldn't get in to a boarding group! After hearing hurrahs around me, I finally got us into boarding group 57 at 7:01am. We rode Rockin Rollercoaster standby, and then walked to Galaxy’s Edge for breakfast. At about 8:30am we went back to Tower of Terror for our 8:15am fastpass.
At 9am we headed to Epcot – the Skyliner transport was flawless. We did Figment and the Pixar shorts (don’t judge – my daughter’s choices!). Got our AP magnets. At 10:20am we got notification our group was boarding! Sadly, we were working against the clock and had to head back to Hollywood Studios before the Festival of Arts booths opened. I really really wanted a #RainbowSherbetGlitterDreamAle. Next time. (Again, Skyliner was perfect. We traveled with a lovely family heading to Oga’s.) The line to enter Hollywood Studios was still 10-20 people deep, which was crazy!
By 11:20am we entered the Rise of the Resistance queue! At 12:20pm we were out of the ride. It. Was. AWESOME! At 12:30pm we picked up a new Star Wars popcorn bucket and headed to the car. We were home at 3:30pm in time to head to music lessons at 4pm. It was a crazy amazing day.
