But even if you aren’t assigned to the pilot’s chair in this visitor-controlled motion ride, set inside a jaw-droppingly faithful recreation of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, you’ll be kept plenty busy: As gunners blast TIE fighters and engineers frantically mash on buttons to keep the ship’s shields restored, two pilots steer the Falcon on a treacherous smuggling run, with orders barked by space pirate Hondo Ohnaka. The most satisfying feeling in all of Disneyland: Pulling the silver lever in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon to engage the hyperdrive and make the jump to light speed. Boarding groups are available on the Disneyland app starting (and then quickly gone) at 7am and 12pm. Find out more about the ride and the land in our Galaxy’s Edge guide.

Tip: You might find yourself standing on a transport ship at some point in the attraction, and while everyone will gravitate toward a certain aquatic animatronic toward the front, look out the back during takeoff and feel free to walk around during the rest of the flight.Īs of Disneyland’s 2021 reopening, you’ll need to join a virtual queue in order to go on Rise of the Resistance. Location: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (Disneyland) It’s simply sublime you’ll get off aching for just another moment in the impossibly vast hangar bay that peers into outer space. It’s an astoundingly real experience and a bombastic fantasy ride all at once. Every dazzling minute of its trackless route feels like magic: You won’t even have time to wonder how those plasma-red blaster bolts are seemingly flying through thin air as you’re hurried into the next room to weave around the mechanical legs of a pair of imposing AT-ATs.
We won’t spoil what happens in between (seriously, the less you know about this 15-plus-minute experience, the better), but you do eventually find yourself seated in a zippy, Droid-navigated vehicle for a third act that’s packed with as much fun as the first two are with detailed storytelling and unexpected turns.
In fact, it takes a planet-obliterating laser to the expected paces of a theme park ride: You’ll snake through ancient caves harboring the Resistance’s hideout, get recruited by Rey and BB-8, board a transport bound for Princess Leia’s secret base and maybe find yourself abducted onto a First Order Star Destroyer-but that’s all on foot, and all before even buckling a seat belt. Rise of the Resistance is conjuring jaw-on-the-floor illusions while everything else is playing simple tricks: The centerpiece attraction in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is unlike any other ride we’ve ever been on.
