Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Is it worth it?

Yes, especially if you haven't ridden since before May 2026. The Mando and Grogu update replaced the old coaxium run, so this is a different ride now. The mission can branch to different planets, including Bespin and the Death Star wreckage on Endor, so a second ride is worth it.

Best for: Star Wars fans and groups who like to argue over who flew best.

The catch: your seat shapes the ride. In a less hands-on seat, you can walk off feeling like a passenger. If simulators make you sick, think twice.

About Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is an interactive motion-simulator ride in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park. Your crew takes the controls of the Falcon as pilots, gunners and flight engineers. Since May 22, 2026, the mission has you teaming up with The Mandalorian and Grogu to track down a bounty. You leave from Batuu, stop on Tatooine, and then head to one of several possible destinations.

Insider tips

• Ride it twice and compare routes. After Tatooine, the mission goes to one of several destinations, such as Cloud City on Bespin or the Death Star wreckage on Endor. A second ride is how you see a different one.
• Know your role before you board. Each crew member gets a job: pilot, gunner or flight engineer. Your role decides how hands-on the ride feels. Roles are handed out, not picked, so agree as a group how you'll handle the seats.
• Take your time in the queue. The line winds through the compartments of the Falcon itself, so look around on the way in.
• Single rider saves time if your group doesn't mind splitting up. Smugglers Run has a single rider line, but on some days it only opens when the park is busy. You'll fill whatever seat is open, so don't count on flying. Check at the entrance on the day.
• Lightning Lane: as of November 2026, Smugglers Run is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, not Single Pass. In this land, Rise of the Resistance is the Single Pass ride, so spend your Multi Pass booking here. Staying at a Disney hotel? Your one free Multi Pass entry per stay works here too.
• Plan the land around Rise. Rise of the Resistance is usually the bigger rope-drop target. Do Rise first, then use Multi Pass or single rider here so you aren't standing in two long Galaxy's Edge lines.

Who can ride

Minimum height: 38 in (97 cm). You don't travel far, but the simulator tilts, jolts and banks in sync with a big screen, and that mix can cause motion sickness. If screen-based simulators bother you, be cautious. The ride also has blaster fire, explosions and dark space scenes, so it may be a lot for very young or noise-sensitive kids. Check Disney's current listing for health advisories and whether Rider Switch is offered.
