![]() ![]() 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. You can skip some of the line with an individual Lightning Lane reservation, though that can cost up to $25 per person. Though it initially opened with a required virtual queue, you can now wait standby for Rise of the Resistance-assuming you have a few hours to spare. This is the way: 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. 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. ![]() 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.Įvery 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. 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. ![]()
