NEWS: FastPass Will Not Be Initially Offered for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Attraction When it Debuts

Disney has updated some FAQs on their website as the questions pour in from guests looking to plan their trip to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As we reported yesterday, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open in two phases. First, it will open with the shops, dining, and interactive experiences as well as with Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. When it initially opens at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will not offer FastPass.

Later in the year, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. According to Disney, Rise of the Resistance will follow in the operational footsteps of Smugglers Run and it will not offer any FastPasses when it opens. This applies to both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World version of the attractions, as the answer shows up on each of the respective FAQ sections.

As for why Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance won’t open until later this year, Disney also provides an answer for that, stating, “We are pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology with these signature attractions and will not open an attraction until it exceeds our expectations”.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
