The concept

The Resistance is looking for new recruits for a secret mission, hidden in the forest outside Black Spire Outpost. But your transport ship is captured by a First Order Star Destroyer, full of stormtroopers and with Kylo Ren on board.

Buy a Single Pass

This attraction isn't included in Multi Pass. You can, however, buy a Lightning Lane Single Pass for it, or opt for the Premier Pass. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.

Allow plenty of time

The whole experience consists of several parts and lasts much longer than an ordinary ride.

Go to the loo

Do this before you join the queue. Once inside, you move from scene to scene.
