Disney Sets Indefinite Closure for Rise of the Resistance on Jan. 20

The flagship Galaxy's Edge ride closes without a return timeline, leaving early 2026 visitors uncertain.

Overview

  • Disneyland’s official calendar lists Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance as unavailable starting January 20, 2026 following Disney’s confirmation.
  • No reopening date or timeframe has been provided, and Disney has not detailed the scope of the shutdown.
  • The attraction functions as the emotional and operational anchor of Galaxy’s Edge for many guests’ trip plans.
  • The ride is known for technical complexity and intermittent downtime, and a 2025 refurbishment restored major effects such as the moving battle-scene laser cannons.
  • Coverage characterizes the open-ended pause as likely involving more than routine maintenance, though Disney has not confirmed the reason.
