Season Of The Force Attractions and Experiences

Alright, fellow Jedi apprentices and Sith lords-in-training, buckle up because we’re about to dive headfirst into the galaxy of Star Wars-themed attractions and experiences awaiting you during Season of the Force at Disneyland. 

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue: If you’ve ever dreamt of hopping aboard a speeding StarSpeeder and zooming through the far reaches of the galaxy, then this is the attraction for you. With multiple destinations to explore and a cast of familiar faces (and some not-so-familiar ones), every ride on Star Tours is different! New experiences with iconic characters and locations from the Star Wars Saga are being added this year! I’m excited to check out the new adventures!

Hyperspace Mountain: Blast off into the heart of a galactic battle between the Rebel Alliance and the evil Empire. Picture this: you’re hurtling through space at warp speed, dodging TIE fighters and laser blasts left and right. It’s an adrenaline rush and a must-do for any aspiring rebel pilot. I love this high-speed space mountain overlay! 

Rise Of The Resistance: Join the Resistance in a climatic battle against the First Order! This is a must-do attraction for any Star Wars fan. Don’t leave Galaxy’s Edge without riding it!

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run: Ride in the famous cockpit of the Millennium Falcon on a daring flight. Whether you’re a pilot, engineer, or gunner, every role is crucial, but being the pilot is the most fun!

How it works:

4. Decrypt your mission’s code word using the decoded letters.
5. Report back to The Star Trader and present your completed map and code word to receive a special keepsake that commemorates your mission.

Season of the Force also offers plenty of opportunities to rub elbows with your favorite characters from a galaxy far, far away. Whether you’re sharing a laugh with Chewbacca, chatting up some Storm Troopers, meeting Mando and Grogu, or posing for a selfie with Darth Vader (watch out for that Force choke!), meeting the stars of the Star Wars saga is an experience you won’t soon forget.
