Five years ago today, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened at Disneyland. This attraction was unlike any that we as Disney fans had experienced before. It had multiple different ride experiences included in the attraction. It also was more experiential than ever before. It really made guests feel like they had entered and were part of a Star Wars movie.
The Daps Magic team was on hand for the opening day of this attraction. Arriving before the sun rose at Disneyland, it was a very early day. It also was a beautiful one! The attraction had already opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios but that did not lessen the excitement of the morning. This became particularly pronounced as guests scrambled with their phones to get a virtual boarding group and cheers could be heard throughout Main Street, USA and the Hub.
The Daps Magic’s team got a boarding group for later in the day. Here is a recap of the experience that the team had aboard Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance on the opening day at Disneyland: https://dapsmagic.com/2020/01/fans-descend-on-disneyland-for-opening-of-star-wars-rise-of-the-resistance/
Here is a look at the attraction on opening day:
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is still an incredible ride. It is immersive and it is impressive. Five years later, it still takes fans into a galaxy far, far away for an adventure like no other!
