What it is

The most ambitious attraction Disney has ever built, an 18-minute multi-system odyssey where you're captured by a First Order Star Destroyer, walk past 50 stormtroopers in formation, and escape via trackless transport, drop sequences, and full-size AT-ATs. The #1 must-do at the resort.

How to do it right

  • This is the ONLY Single Pass attraction at Disneyland Park (price varies by date; check the app). Single Pass is purchased in the app once you have entered a park, so decide before arrival whether to buy it or rope-drop standby
  • Note: the complimentary hotel-guest Lightning Lane credit does NOT work here, it's Multi Pass only
  • The stormtrooper hangar walkthrough is a bucket-list moment, don't rush it even in the Lightning Lane
  • It breaks down more than most rides; if you get caught in a delay, ask a cast member about return passes
  • Standby late in the evening is frequently half the midday posted wait
  • Every member of your party needs to be height-checked at 40 inches, no exceptions

Best time to ride

  • Buy Lightning Lane Single Pass as soon as you enter the park
  • Rope-drop standby if you skip the Single Pass
  • Standby often shortens in the final two hours

Photo spots

  • X-wing in the Resistance encampment
  • Stormtrooper hangar (cast members allow quick photos)
  • AT-AT legs mid-ride

Accessibility

  • You need to transfer from a wheelchair or ECV to the ride vehicle
  • Assistive listening available
  • Handheld captioning available
