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
