Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Tips
- Scary Factor: Intense but not traditionally scary. Features dark scenes, loud noises, and immersive action that may overwhelm younger or sensitive riders.
- Speed: Moderate pace with some quicker moments during escape sequences. Focuses on storytelling rather than high-speed thrills.
- Ride Duration: Approximately 18 minutes, including pre-show elements, making it Disney World’s longest ride.
- Drops: One small, manageable drop near the end of the ride.
- Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to jerky movements and mild drops.
- Accessibility: Guests using a wheelchair or ECV must transfer to the ride vehicle. The queue and initial part of the attraction are accessible; boarding, however, requires a small step up into the vehicle.
- Sensory Advisory: Features multiple stages with dark moments, bright lights, loud noises, small drops, and car movement, which may overwhelm sensitive riders. Breaks between segments allow for exits if needed.
- Plus-Size Friendly: Plus-size friendly, with roomy vehicles and lap bar restraints designed to accommodate a range of body sizes.
- Best Age Group: Ideal for school-aged children and older. Younger kids may find it intense, but Star Wars fans of all ages will likely enjoy the immersive experience.
