Timing for Opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Announced

Disney Destinations announced today they’re opening Star Wars:  Rise of the Resistance December 5th at Walt Disney World.  I’m sure all of you Disney Nerds know what this date is; right?  It’s Walt Disney’s birthday.   What better way to honor the ultimate storyteller than by introducing the most immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined in a Disney Park.

 

When it opens, Star Wars:  Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.  Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base.  Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer.  With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.

As soon as the work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars:  Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, January 17th.
