Attention all Star Wars fans and Disneyland enthusiasts! We've got some exciting news and a few surprises to uncover. The highly anticipated reopening date of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has been added to the Disneyland refurbishment calendar, but there's a twist!
After a brief closure, this flagship attraction is set to reopen its doors on February 13, 2026. But here's where it gets controversial... the closure was initially expected to last longer, but Disneyland has confirmed a quicker turnaround.
Now, let's dive into the details and uncover what this means for your next Disneyland adventure.
The Rise of the Resistance Ride: A Complex Journey
This immersive ride is a fan favorite, offering an escape from a First Order ship and an epic Star Wars story. It's one of the most intricate rides at the Disneyland Resort, and with its Lightning Lane Single Pass service, guests can skip the line for an extra charge.
Reopening and Routine Refurbishment
Despite initial concerns, Disney Imagineering and Lucasfilm have confirmed that this refurbishment is routine, unrelated to any major changes. So, rest assured, the beloved ride will return as it was, ready to thrill riders once again.
Major Changes on the Horizon
While Rise of the Resistance remains unchanged, Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is set for a major transformation. Get ready for a timeline shift that will bring the land into the original film trilogy, introducing iconic characters like Han Solo and Leia.
And this is the part most people miss... these changes are part of a broader relaunch, including the addition of characters from The Mandalorian and Grogu to the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run ride.
More Refurbishments and Closures
Oga's Cantina, a popular spot, is also undergoing refurbishment, with a recently announced reopening date. Additionally, other rides like Jungle Cruise and Space Mountain are scheduled for closures, so plan your visits accordingly.
