This week, to celebrate the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the D23 Inside Disney podcast team hosted special day-of coverage right here on the Disney Parks Blog – direct from Batuu!  

As many of you know, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is one of the most ambitious attractions ever created for a Disney park. The thrilling action takes place in massive sets that give guests the feeling of stepping inside a Star Wars film as they elude the clutches of Kylo Ren and the First Order in a mad dash through a Star Destroyer.

Check out Michael’s story for more details on the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Resort. 

Also this week, The Epcot International Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort kicked off its annual global celebration of visual, culinary and performing arts.
