When it comes to an “out of this world” experience, it’s hard to beat “Rise of the Resistance”, located in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As a completely immersive experience, Guests will – in many ways – feel like they have left Earth and have landed in a “galaxy far, far away”. Read more
I hear you. You’re not a huge Star Wars fan, and you don’t know a wookie from an ewok. And that’s ok, because whether you love everything about Star Wars and literally can’t wait to experience a galaxy far, far away, or you’re kind of “meh” about the entire thing – the new Galaxy’s Edge part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is super cool, even for non-fans. And the Millennium Falcon – Smuggler’s Run, is one of the best parts. Read more
Before Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge debuted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios last year, guests had the chance to explore the universe on Star Tours: The Adventure Continues. Happily this attraction is still taking Star Wars fans (and everyone else) on a voyage to all kinds of worlds from the Star Wars stories. If you are you ready to blast off to a galaxy far-far away, you’ll love this 3D flight simulator ride! Read more
There was a lot I wanted to see and do on our recent visit to Walt Disney World and much of it had to do with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Super cool rides, character interactions, amazing details (Disney Imagineers, you all are totally incredible!), fun shops, and interesting (and delicious) food and drinks – all of this can be found at the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu (which is the actual name of the Galaxy’s Edge area). But along with all of this, there are two truly interactive experiences there that, while not free, are really cool experiences. In one of them, Guests can create their own lightsaber. While that sounded interesting, it was the other one that really caught my eye, and was the one that I signed up to do. And as it turned out, it was literally one of the most fun things I’ve done at Walt Disney World in all the years I’ve gone. And that’s saying a lot. Read more
An important part of my recent visit to Walt Disney World was to check out everything associated with the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While there was a great deal to experience in this new “land”, important highlights for us were the two rides – Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and Rise of the Resistance. We greatly enjoyed both of them, but it is Rise of the Resistance that is the latest Disney attraction that is getting all of the buzz, and is causing the most discussion online, as this incredible ride has a unique process for riding it. And that’s what I am going to discuss today. Read more
