Disney4me Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 It’s never quiet on the planet Batuu for long… Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened to Walt Disney World guests in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on August 29, 2019. As it also was in Disneyland, the new land opened in phases with Phase 1 delivering the debut of the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction. Hollywood Studios Map on Galaxy’s Edge Opening Day Phase 2 brought the opening of the highly-anticipated (and unbelievably popular) attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. And today brings another milestone for the land, as Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run debuts FastPass+ to Walt Disney World guests for the first time! Until today, the only access options for guests to take control of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy were by entering the Standby Queue or making use of the line designated for Single Riders only. 200 Minute Wait Time sign for Millennium Falcon on Opening Day But in January, guests were able to begin making a FastPass+ selection via MyDisneyExperience for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run for dates starting February 19, 2020 — TODAY! FastPass+ sign at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run As a reminder, FastPass+ is a service which allows guests to reserve attraction arrival times in advance and bypass the Standby Queue which saves a TON of time waiting in line.

Though you will get to see the (completely amazing) Hondo Ohnaka audio-animatronic, you will – of course — miss some of the fun atmosphere and story features that guests in the Standby Queue get to see, such as the garage which provides the maintenance setting at Ohnaka Transport Solutions.

Overlooking the Millennium Falcon You WILL get to see the Millennium Falcon itself, though, as it is in full glorious view to all guests in the land. Millennium Falcon Guests may also be interested to know that the Single Rider queue is still available, if you are flying solo or don’t mind splitting up your party when riding the attraction. NEW FastPass+ Tiers in Disney’s Hollywood Studios A reminder: the addition of both Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run AND Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (opening March 4, 2020) to FastPass+ has brought some changes to the FastPass+ Tiers. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Sign Guests can still select one attraction from Tier One, and TWO selections in Tier Two (to make their 3 total selections), and these new additions put Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Slinky Dog Dash in Toy Story Land in Tier One, so you’ll have to choose between the three. (Of course, Standby will still be available for all three.) Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disneyland And one more for our Disneyland pals!
