We booked our trip to Walt Disney World in December 2019 on a whim. In fact, it wasn’t until after we booked our tickets that I learned that Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was opening, quite literally, the very next day.
As our trip to the park was just about 10 days later, I was torn on whether or not I’d risk the crowds and the early morning wake-up to try and get a ride. It wasn’t until the day before visiting the park that our hotel concierge gave me some great tips on how to get a good boarding time, and emphatically encouraged me to do so.
I set my alarm for 4:10 am the following morning, took an Uber to Hollywood Studios, and somehow managed to be on the first ride of the day for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
In this one, I want to share how I did it and what the ride is like in order to help those who are visiting do the same.
Note: This article is broken into two sections. The first section features the steps I took in order to, quite literally, walk on the ride after opening. It will only contain photos from the public areas of Galaxy’s Edge. The second section will feature a review of the ride itself and will feature some spoilers both in text and images as I got to take a few shots while on the ride.
