Exploring Disney: Building a Droid at Star Wars – Galaxy’s Edge

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

Getting a Boarding Pass for Rise of the Resistance at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

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

Exploring Disney: What You Need to Know About Rise of the Resistance

When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disneyland California and Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World last summer, there were a lot of things for folks to explore in this new “land”, including the new attraction Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. However, the “big” ride – Rise of the Resistance – did not open when Galaxy’s Edge premiered. Instead, this ride – that has had everyone who’s been able to preview it raving about it – opened just a couple of weeks ago at Hollywood Studios (and will debut in Disneyland in January). Now that it’s opened, and we are hearing from folks who’ve ridden it, we know a lot more about what to expect – and most importantly, what you need to know if you want to ride it. Read more
