I'm not going to lie, I'm usually very cautious with VR-style rides because they can make me carsick FAST. I don't do Star Tours for that very reason. But somehow, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run doesn't bother me! Maybe it's the way the seating is set up, or maybe it's because I actually have a JOB to do on this ride. I'm always the shooter, of course. My name is Crystal, and apparently the only word that rhymes with Crystal is pistol, so obviously that means I'm a good shot. That's just Girl Math. And here's the best part: you're supposed to stay completely in character during the ride, and let me tell you... my group is VERY capable of flipping that switch. We take our roles seriously! Once we're on that Millennium Falcon, we are WORKING. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of ride that fits our Disney-adult personalities. We have absolutely no problem being completely childlike, whimsical, and enchanted when we're at Disneyland. We get heart eyes when we see characters, dress up, Disneybound, and fully commit to the experience. So being told to pretend we're part of a space mission? Say less. We're already there. It's interactive, ridiculous, immersive, and SO much fun when everyone in your group commits to the character. We're adults, but Disneyland gives us permission to be kids again--and we are absolutely taking advantage of it. Definitely right up our alley. We had so much fun!
Compared to Rise of the Resistance, millennium Falcon has the least amount of line wait time. I love this. The ride is underrated. It is far more interactive than the other rides. Maybe that's why it is not as popular. Nonetheless, I love that 6 people can be in the ship and all work together, unless you have competitive people.
The Baseline: For a theme park attraction, a quality experiences must be provided, the attraction must be fun and engaging, an immersive environment must be established, the queue line must be themed, and safety must be a top priority. Queue: This is a great queue while waiting to ride with a ton of immersive Star Wars themed decor. The view of the Millennium Falcon is awesome and it feels like you are "doing some Star Wars" while you wait. Attraction: This is the ride that lets you crew the Millennium Falcon on a mission and that is awesome by itself. If you have a group of 6 people you are with then this ride is even better. Basics is there is a pilot, co-pilot, 2 gunners, and 2 engineers crewing the ship and you all have your jobs via your roles. You then get to go on a "railroad path" for a pre generated story but gives you some level of video game ability to interact as you go along the ride. That in itself is fun but there is a new Mandolorian overlay that has made it better. Now if you are an engineer you will get a chance to determine you destination for the second half of the ride (Coruscant, Bespin, or Endor) after you fly through Tatooine. This is so much more fun than the original ride that took you to Corellia.
If you want to fly the Millennium Falcon and go on a mission, check out Smuggler's Run. It puts you directly into the action and lets you live your Star Wars dreams. This 5-minute interactive dark ride puts you in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, with three roles to choose from: pilot, gunner, and engineer. A total crew of six can join, with two people per position. Pilots: The left-side pilot controls left and right motion as well as the brakes! Right-side pilot controls up and down, as well as the Lightspeed lever! Gunners: You get to "pew pew" at stuff. There is a setting for Auto or Manual tracking. There are three buttons for manual control of the gun's direction of fire. For Auto, there's just one big flashing button. Engineers: Keep an eye on the flashing lights to repair the ship during flight/battle and choose destinations. The latest ride updates (2026) add additional scenes, a new story, and locations. Mandalorian and Grogu have been added to the flight as well. There is also a Grogu mode. You can find the steps on social media or by searching the web. You can purchase Lightning Lane passes or use single-rider lines if you don't want to stand in the queue for long. I recently saw that they will also allow double-riders in the single-rider line, but there is still a chance couples will be split if seats need to be filled. Those who are 38" or taller will be able to go on this ride. Overall, this is a fun attraction, and I'm glad they updated the scenes to keep the experience fresh.
This ride usually has an average wait time of 25-30mins but there are a couple places to rest your bum in the line. This is another interactive ride. There are 6 people on the ride with you and you need to decide which two will be pilots, shooters, and engineers. I personally like to be an engineer. When you're a pilot, remember up is down and down is up because you're flying. FYI, if the people flying can't fly, this can be a very bumpy ride. When entering the ride, off to the right hand side there's a replica millennium falcon and Han Solo is there for photo ops.
Wow it's been so long since we did this ride and finally went again today 5/10/2026 Mother's Day. This time our flight cabin was only 4 people and it still worked! Mom was pilot. Kiddo was gunner. Dad and youngest kiddo were the engineers. We made it safely back with loot in tow, came back with positive credits too. Wow, couldn't believe that happened with only 4 passengers instead of all 6 available seats. Fun times. Youngest kiddo made the height requirement and cried during the 15-20 min wait time in line. Terrified but we all survived at the end. Can't wait to come back again after they install a new trip to the Audio / visuals, and we will fly again!
I enjoy the ride , but the problem is the constant shaking , so much I don't feel well afterwards. Granted , it's also connected to your two pilots. One pilot handles left/right , other is top/bottom. If they don't navigate well , you hit buildings constantly. It's fun, minus the issue. Motion sickness
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run opened on May 31, 2019 in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. It's a motion simulator ride that involves six guests in a cockpit (2 pilots, 2 gunners, 2 engineers). Each role has their own responsibilities that actually affect the mission outcome and has individual scores. However, it's mainly just about pressing the buttons that light up as quickly as possible. You also will likely be paired with other parties if your group isn't big enough. I originally went on this ride at Disney World and I had way more fun there. I had a different role this time but I did not have as much fun.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is 1 of 2 rides in the new Star Wars Land - Batuu! My family and I enjoy this ride because it's interactive - it requires 6 people to be Pilots, Gunners and Enginners. It is an interactive flight stimulation ride where how well you play effects the outcome. I personally think the best spot is being a Pilot as you get to either control the ship left/right or up/down. Gunners just push buttons over and over again while protecting the ship and shooting the enemies and Engineers are obviously responsible for fixing the ship from damages. During our last trip, there were only 4 of us and we did not have Engineers which did not effect anything. Overall, it's a cool ride, but from what I can tell, nothing changes or rotates so riding it once during your visit is usually enough!
This ride is really cool, but I feel like it's not very interactive for engineers. The only job for engineers is to press a few buttons and determine the flight path, which is cool but not as important as pilot and gunner. I did gunner once which was fun, and activated the secret grogu mode. I like the line here, since they have single rider and double rider lines, so you can go with someone else without being split
Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run at Disneyland is one of those rides that really shines when you have the right group in your cockpit. The interactive element makes it feel more like a team mission than a typical theme park ride, which keeps things entertaining even if your piloting skills are questionable. I recently tried the new dual rider line and it was a fantastic way to shave off a big chunk of the wait and get straight to the action without having to fly completely solo. The ride itself is innovative and fast paced, and it's hard not to smile when the Falcon jumps to hyperspace. It's a really fun experience that rewards a little teamwork and a willingness to laugh when things go hilariously wrong.
I have loved this ride for a really long time. I personally prefer the old mission over the new one and think that the new mission in a way is easier. Definitely less bumpy, which is good for some bad for others. I prefer the old one. Anyway, this is probably one of the coolest interactive rights to do at Disneyland depending on which cast member you get, and if you get there on a day where they have assist positions or not. Depending on those two variables that could be a one star day or a five star day, but I felt that four stars was more appropriate, overall it is really fun. Just sucks when you get a crabby cast member which happens here more than anywhere in the park.
So we finally tried the Millenium Falcon:Smugglers Run. When waiting in line are given a color and you end up in a Lobby hangout until you color is called out. Until then you can walk around and Press buttons lol. As for the ride Its pretty interactive! As in you need to know what you're doing. We assumed the pilot roles and didnt know what we we're doing lol. Everyone ha stheir own role. The ride itself is determined on how good each person is in their role. Luckily our other team mates were understanding and helped us out lol. Its basically like a group videogame. If you're not invested than its ok. I was entertained but its not my thing. Im a star wars fan but I dont feel like waiting in such a long line to learn how to play lol.
Background On Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run: Themed to a Mandalorian and Grogu mission (alongside Hondo Ohnaka), featuring An interactive motion simulator attraction located in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Guests board a 6-person cockpit to pilot the "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy" on a high-stakes smuggling mission guided by Hondo Ohnaka and featuring Din Djarin and Grogu. Job Positions: There's 3 positions that you enlist for on this mission: 1) Pilots (2): Control the physical flight path of the ship (left/right and up/down) and execute the jump to hyperspace. 2) Gunners (2): Defend the ship by manually or automatically firing at incoming enemies and targets. 3) Engineers (2): Repair ship damage, trigger special equipment features, and secure the cargo. Mission Modes: 1) The default interactive experience where pilots steer, gunners shoot, and engineers manage repairs and select destinations. This rode is alright. I mainly elect to do the other modes. 2) Grogu Mode (Secret Easter Egg): Replaces much of the standard dialogue with Grogu's cooing and babbling sounds reacting to the flight. How to activate: Both gunners must press and hold the first of the four rectangular buttons closest to their seat right as the ride starts, then press the blinking button while continuing to hold the first button. Last time I was on the ride, we decided to do the Grogu mode. Who doesn't love Grogu's cooing and babbling sounds. 3) Classic/Legacy (Chewbacca Mode): The older override code can still occasionally be tested via pilot/gunner button combinations, though the focus is on the new Grogu variant. Last week, I was disappointed in hearing that they took this mode away after they changed the theme to the ride. :( Visitation Rights: Been on this ride a handful of times. Background On Last Visit: If you see a approx. standby time of 10 minutes, you definitely want to get in line and ride it. Wait Time: Can be long depending on the day and time. Waited about 15 minutes on Saturday last week. Location: Located in Galaxy Edge. Hangar bay of Ohnaka Transport Solutions. A shady shipping operation run by the space pirate Hondo Ohnaka on the planet Batuu. Ambiance/Decor: Love the ambiance and decor. The millennium falcon looks absolutely breathtaking. Cast Member: All the cast members have a very serious demeanor which makes them very intimidating. They despise people that can't follow instructions. :) Ride Experience: Absolutely love it! I like blowing things up! So being a gunner was a no brainer. I also like the position, because all you have to do is hit buttons through out the 4.5 minute ride. Yes, it can be tiring job. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run For Thought: I wouldn't mind carving some time to ride this ride again. read more
It's a ride where everyone has a role. 2 pilots, 2 marksmen, and 2 engineers. The engineer role is probably the least fun so if you had a choice try to skip that. The ride is pretty much contingent if the pilot is good or not. It's a fun ride but not sure if it has much re ridability. It's one of the virtual reality rides so you look at the screen while the room moves around. It can be pretty fun for a Star Wars fan, but everyone else it might just be okay read more
This is a very popular ride. At the entrance they have a life size Millennium Falcon ship parked. Even after using the Lightning Lane pass, the walk to the actual ride is a long process, takes about 15 minutes. This is an interactive ride where 6 rides are paired in groups of pilots, engineers and shooters. The storyline setups up to smuggle cargo between two planets using the Millennium Falcon ship while pirates try to chase it and gun it down. During the ride, the screen shows instructions to each group to do some task like pressing buttons, pulling handles and shoot with toy guns. I have done the exact some ride in other Disney parks. It is not as exciting to me compared to other Star Wars adventures. read more

Inside Star Wars land with the millennium falcon displayed right in front. It's an experience that can't be missed. Though not great for those with motion sickness or sensitivities. May take a minute to recompose after riding or have a bit of a headache. This ride is fun for those who know what they're doing. Not so fun for those who know what they're doing and have to ride with first timers in the drivers seat. My apologies experienced ones! Lol but it's still fun to ride. Staff were great, helpful and informative. Lines aren't as long during Star Wars nights. read more

Best memories, I still remember the first day it opened. Wonderful experience with my kids, and also adults, enjoying the moment and making memories with each other. read more
As a Star Wars fan, this ride is solid. It is pretty fun getting to feel like you're in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and I do appreciate the animatronics before the ride to help with narrative or story. Really cool set and ride design that really fits into the them of Galaxy's Edge. It's interactive in that you have a small crew you ride with and everybody has a different function - pilots, gunners, and engineers. So the experience may vary based on who is with you and especially depends on who is in the pilot seat it seems. A good time overall though. I usually try to hit this ride up when I have a lightning pass and I'm in the Galaxy's Edge area. Or if it's a little on the later side, the lines for this ride seem to be usually very short. So if you want to experience it and it's around 8pm, I've been able to get on within 15-20 mins. A solid, fun ride especially if you're a Star Wars fan. No hate, but I also have to admit, that I actually prefer the Star Tours ride in Tomorrowland. read more

Wow this ride is so cool but not recommended if you have a problem with your back and knees . Fits 6 people and they try their best to keep your party together . Lines can be slow or fast depending on how pack the park is . The have handicap options d as well . read more
I was the engineer, so had little time to see where we were going, although I was flying out of my seat several times and felt this was the most physical flight simulator I have ever experienced. I would not recommend this for little children or the elderly because you really get a workout on this bumpy rollercoaster of a ride! read more
Took a trip with friends to Disneyland in August 2025. I was at Disney last year but didn't do this ride so had to give it a go. It was our last ride of the day. The line was about 35 minutes long the shortest it had been all day so clearly we had to. Once inside with all of the intricate twists and turns I realized why the length of time. Thankfully it moved pretty quickly and while it did I took pictures of all of the detail that they made sure to get. The realism was uncanny. We got to the divide we were asked how many in our party and pointed in directions to stand. Characters came around and never broke character and gave us our assignments. Doors opened and we climbed into the "vessel". Our group of four was joined by a mother and her young son. Our ship took off and the games began. Two of my friends were responsible for piloting and navigating and myself, another friend, and the young son were gunners. Oh my gosh! My friend piloting kept crashing which made the whole "vessel" shake and buck. It was hilarious and put all of us including the mom and son into complete fits of laughter. We barely made it from the docking station because we couldn't stop cackling and sliding around and shaking with the ride the whole time. It was absolutely great and a perfect way to end the day! Highly recommend doing this ride with people who can have a good time and don't take things like this too seriously and you will also have a blast and a half! read more
In theory, Smugglers Run is great. A group of you and your friends get to sit in the cockpit and fly the Millennium Falcon. It's a more interactive version of Star Tours which is already an iconic Disneyland ride. However, you quickly learn that if you're a gunner, you're just hitting the same button over and over again. If you're the mechanic, you might hit a few more buttons throughout the ride. And if you're the pilot, a couple buttons and a switch to go into hyperdrive. It all feels like really passive interactivity. In the end, I was honestly disappointed that I waited almost an hour to ride the ride. With that said, there is still something cool about walking through the common area of the ride & sitting in the cockpit. If you have a big enough group of friends to take all 6 seats and the wait isn't too long, I'd say go for it. It's a fun group activity. However, if there's a long line or you are a smaller group that is going to get paired with some strangers, it might not be as much fun as you anticipated. read more
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run has been around for a while. On my trip, I knew I had to do it. I had never been on it and I didn't want to pay for a lightning lane, so I just waited until I saw on the Disney app that it had about a 5 minute wait. During the day, it was very busy in this area of the park and the lines were ridiculous. So that's why I waited until night time. We walked right on as a party of five. The queue is pretty long so those with mobility issues are not going to want to walk up hill the entire time. I would let a cast member know of mobility issues and see how they can help, that would be my suggestion. The ride can seat up to 6 people and you each get a station you sit facing forward inside the millennium falconlooking at very realistic screen . You then go through a fast paced chase scene. It's similar to Star tours but upgraded. It's very fun and I would recommend this ride. read more

Smugglers Run at Galaxy's Edge By Han Solo Rating: 5 outta 5 - Would definitely fly my own ship again. So I show up to Batuu thinking I'm just gonna have a quiet drink, maybe avoid some First Order patrols, and next thing I know--some guy named Hondo "borrows" the Falcon for a little coaxium run. Says he needs a crew. I say, I am the crew. But nooo, apparently I need a couple tourists to fly my ship. Pilot Position - Left Seat (a.k.a. Me, the Legend): Look, when you're flying the Falcon, it's all about style. I hit hyperspace smoother than Lando in a cape shop. Had some rookie sitting next to me pushing us up and down like a Womp Rat on a trampoline, but hey--we didn't crash. Much. Pilot Position - Right Seat (a.k.a. That Other Guy): They were in charge of vertical control and somehow managed to clip every single wall in the galaxy. We took more hits than a Rodian karaoke night. But props--they hit the lever when I yelled "Punch it!" like they meant it. Gave me goosebumps. Or maybe that was the coolant leak... Gunner Seat - Pew Pew Mayhem: I had a couple hotshots on the guns, and by hotshots I mean button mashers with the reflexes of a sleeping bantha. Still, they got the job done--TIEs exploded, coaxium secured, minimal property damage. Could've used Chewie, but hey, these guys had heart. Final Thoughts: She may not look like much, but the Falcon still makes the Kessel Run feel like a joyride. Just do me a favor--don't scratch the paint next time. Hondo's got enough of my money already. Smugglers Run? Yeah, I'd do it again. Especially if I get to fly. And if Hondo stops pretending he owns my ship. - Han "Still not a General" Solo Captain of the Millennium Falcon, King of Cool, First of His Name, Puncher of Hyperspace read more
This ride is really fun especially if you want to feel like you are really flying the Millennium Falcon. The line for this is usually not to bad but there are times where it can be over an hour. This ride is included in the Lighting Lane so you can select it to have a shorter wait time. The line is pretty cool on this one especially once you get to the upper area where it feels like to are right there next to the aircrafts and really feel like you are about to board the Millennium Falcon. Before you board you are taken to this little waiting area where you can explore and touch a bunch of buttons and touch some cool items. This just adds to the experience and feel that you really are immersed into this world. You are assigned either Pilot, Gunner or Engineer. 2 seats per each position. The Pilots get the most fun out of this ride as they get to really fly the Millennium Falcon. It is a lot of work but also a lot of fun. This is obviously the best way to experience this ride and luckily I have gotten to do this at least once. I will say if there is a kid in the front they usually cant do all the task required and it makes it a super bumpy ride so maybe switch places with them if possible. The other two are fun also but you really are just pushing buttons but it still makes you feel apart of the whole experience. At the end you are given a score of how well you did in your assignment. Overall I do like this ride but is it a must ride? If you have never done it and are a Star Wars fan I say yes. If you have already been on it or it doesn't really interest you then I say only do it if there is a short wait. Its a cool ride to experience at least once and even more so if you are lucky enough to be the pilot. read more

I'm a Star Wars fan so naturally this ride was so much fun! If you're sensitive to rapid motion movements this is not a ride for you. It's a very interactive ride and you can either be a pilot, a mechanic or a gunfighter. I always have a blast going on this ride! read more

I love the interactive portion of this ride! It certainly helps if you're a Star Wars fan, but this is a lot of fun even if you're just a fan of thrill rides and want a taste of interactive/choose your own adventure throw in the mix. :) read more
I am a big Han Solo fan and the Millennium Falcon is my favorite ship from the Star Wars movies. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run was the first ride that opened inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge when the themed land opened in 2019. It is a motion simulator ride that lets six different people sit inside the cockpit of the Falcon. Each person is assigned the role of either the pilot, gunner or engineer as you jump into hyperspace towards a new adventure. I am usually not a fan of motion simulator rides because I get motion sickness so easily. But after riding Smugglers Run for the first time, I felt just fine and have been on the ride several times now. The thing that I love most about this ride is being able to stand next to the actual Millennium Falcon out front. Once inside, you can walk around the inside of the ship as you wait for the ride to start. They have a makeshift holochess table that you can sit at that was featured in the Star Wars movies. In the Star Wars universe, the game itself is called Dejarik and was Chewbacca's favorite game. One of my favorite Star Wars characters is Hondo Ohnaka and he is your guide on the ride. Overall, I enjoy going on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened not too long afterwards and is a lot more fun in my opinion. But I still love them both. I'm just happy that Disney created this land for us Star Wars fans. It is fun walking around Galaxy's Edge and getting all those nostalgic feelings from being a life-long Star Wars fan. read more
The interactive aspect of this ride is unique for sure and the fact that different roles have different responsibilities is cool too. I'm not really into Star Wars so I can't really comment on the accuracy or the hype factor it'd have on a fan, but it's a fun ride to try at least once and it's worth it if the wait isn't long either. However, I feel like anything over a 30 minute wait would make this ride wholly not worth it. There are single rider lanes too if it helps to speed up your wait. When you enter the ride, as with the newer attractions at the park, there's lots to look at! You get assigned into color groups to board your ship, you get instructions on your Smugglers Run, and there's a separate waiting room with seats and buttons you can press before you get on the actual ride. Before you get on the ride, you're assigned as either pilots, gunners, or engineers. Based on what we saw, I feel like the pilot roles would be the most difficult as you'd have to maneuver, navigate, and there's multiple different things to engage with and you're looking at the huge screen in front. Gunner would be rapid fire pressing buttons and my boyfriend and I were engineers (pressing various buttons and flipping switches when they light up to repair the ship). Your crew is scored at the end (we got an 85%) and the damages are also factored in as well. I guess this ride really tests your ability to multitask as it was hard, at least for me to pay attention to what was going on in front of the ship and then turn around to also push the necessary buttons and flip the switches. I can imagine the frustration though if you get grouped with people who don't get what's going on or children who suck (no offense lol). read more
Probably my least enjoyable experience at Disneyland, and I am a huge Star Wars fan. The lines were twice as long as advertised, the route was claustrophobic with few places to sit and rest, and people were generally rude and grumpy, which made the wait experience probably one of the worst ever. The ride at the end was nothing special. Should have invested our time somewhere else. On the plus side, Star Wars Land itself was wonderful, with several character encounters (such as Chewbacca and Kylo Ren) and unusual food and gift choices. My advice - go to Star Wars Land, skip the rides. read more
So this is like an updated and more interactive Star Tours. We were a group of six which is perfect because 6 people board the falcon. 2 of us were pilots, 2 were gunners, and two were engineers. I really like this ride bc everyone had to work together. Fantastic idea for a ride to build teamwork. Each role is important and everyone's score contributes to the overall team score. Only caveat is that if you don't like video games you might not like this because it might take a couple of rides to get good at it. read more
