Was a great day with you two and so many others! Such a fantastic attraction, I can’t wait to do it again!!! So thankful we could all experience that together. 😁
When I did mine yesterday, I found if I close all my apps on my phone, turn off Wifi and get away from the crowd really helped a lot. Crowds effect network congestion. Little confused why she didn’t have the app open already, it costed her some time. What I did, was open the app 4 minutes before 8am and stay on the main page in the Disneyland app then right at 8am hit the picture for rise and then the join boarding group button popped up. I got 20. Another tip is to download a network speed test utility app so you know where in the park you are getting a good connection. Glad y’all had a good time. I wanna say hi one time, if I ever see you.
jgennitti Thanks for your tips! We did the boarding passes a few weeks ago at Hollywood Studios in Florida but it was when they were still letting people in before park opening and you could get the boarding passes as soon as you got in the park-so we got 21. The ride is Amazing!!! We are going to Disneyland in a few weeks and I’m trying to research the best way to get boarding passes while we are there too!
Calleen Spencer No problem. Now that I have rode the ride already, I actually wanna test a theory by scanning my pass into Disneyland before 8am then actually leave and maybe walk to downtown Disney to get away from people and to get a real fast connection. When you are around so many people in one area the cellphone towers can’t handle the load hence you have slowed down connection. Reason why I think it might work is because I have scanned in Disneyland in the past and actually left the property and went home and was still able to get fast passes all day even though I was not there anymore.
jgennitti it was a much easier process when we did it a month ago at Hollywood Studios because everyone wasn’t trying to get the boarding passes at the same time (they have since changed their process and it is the same as Disneyland’s now). I have thought it would be wise now though to get away from the crowds to get the boarding passes and not be right in the middle of the crowds-and to find where you have the best cell coverage. I’m going to download an app to do that before we go to Disneyland in a few weeks-and figure out where a good (non crowded 😂) place to try to get the boarding passes is-I don’t think it’s inside of Galaxy’s Edge though.
I LOVE watching you love this ride and experience.....also....because I'm 65 years old. I saw the first Star Wars when it hit the theaters. I was so happy we finally have this type of space movie come out. Who knew...I didn't. Born in 1955, Steve Jobs born 3 months later after me and, Disneyland born 3 months after Steve. I never imagined this ride would be here 65 years later with so many young fans. I went on the Rocket to the Moon at DL when I was 4 years old, and I cried, I remember crying, because I thought we were really going to the moon. I cherish my historical perspective, and LOVE ALL OF YOU for still loving Star Wars. It is surreal for me. Thank you for being so awesome, from all us old fogies!!! We happen to be a McCarthy family of about 20 AP's from SF bay area, and go to DL 6-10 times a year. Love you!!!!! Wish I could meet any of you. Your'e the best...thank you for your videos.
This experience, ride , whatever you want to call it WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! Like, speechless 😶... you MUST experience this. There’s truly nothing like it!
I've done this experience a few times and this is the first time I've noticed the crashing TIE Fighter that causes the "depressurization" with Vader at 24:52. She points and goes "Look at that!!!" Awesome capture. Well done.
Absolutely loved watching your ride experience, thanks guys. From Katie's outbursts of laughter and screaming and Spencer's stunned look at the end, it was pure joy.
Good morning Spencer and Katie. It is very emotional to watch everyone! A big hi to all the diehard fans who were beside you guys! Nate, Bri, Emotional Dylan; Security Jeremy, Simon, Jordan, Samuel, Adam Woo, David, Mondo was there, R2D2, Toni, Charlie, and even Santa himself!! I wish we could have been there with all of you! You guys are amazing for sharing your experience with us! Katie's giggles are sooo awesome! Thanks SO Much! Have a great week! Biz-e-bee granny Jeanne Rose from Wickenburg Arizona
I went on opening day too. Once I rode it I immediately left Disneyland because there was no other ride in the park that would remotely compare to what I had just witnessed. By far the best ride Disney has offered in such a long time.
Didn’t get into park till 8:30 so didn’t get on ride, but met u guys, Adam the woo. You guys were so friendly to me and my wife and took pictures. Thank u soo much.
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Spencer that taken aback. The whole build up was really fun. Really cool you guys stayed with it, you can say first day-I was there!
You guys are awesome! I love it when you team up with Adam the Wood & Fresh Baked to share in the experience - soooooo fun watching you all together!!! Katie's laugh cracks me the hell up!!!
Thank y'all so much for making this video. I cried when Spenser teared up. Y'all are perfect for bringing this kind of enthusiasm and entertainment to us. I will be there in June and even more excited to ride!
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience with us from start to finish. It will be interesting to see how future experiences on the attraction will compare to this first one. 😊
Just found your guys channel and I just gotta say it was awesome to meet you all and like it was amazing to be apart of this experience opening day for one of the biggest attractions Disney has to offer now and I’m the dude with the glasses at 1:04 looking forward to what else Disney has cooking up for the future I’m sure it’ll be a blast! X)
That experience seems like an incredible sensory overload. I'd be bawling my eyes out! Thanks for letting all of us live vicariously thru your videos!!
When I did it we got group 64 the passes were gone by 8:01am we were called at noon we were done by 12:40 wasn't bad at all, we were at DCA when our group got called so it took about 10-15 minutes to get back.
Amazing! Emotional! We get it! We rode Rise of Resistance today at WDW! We were up at 4 at the park before 6 - in the park at 6:30 - stressing because wifi was spotty but success at 7 am. We got boarding group 21. Completely random - guest next to us in the 70s. Worth every second of missed sleep. Yes we teared up & were speechless after the ride! Kudos Disney - you hit this one out of the park!
I legit cried watching this video. I grew up watching Star Wars because of my dad. I've been a fan for so long. I was a fan before Star Wars was Disney. Hearing Spencer going "No way" throughout the ride, I felt that. That would be me. Thank you for taking the time to show us, the ones that can't be there, your experience. I really need to save some money and get my ass there asap.
Everyone’s different videos are so amazing! I love that all my favorite TH-camrs came together for this amazing experience!! Thanks so much for this! I wish I was there!!!!
I remember my first ride it was everything you felt i was bawling and trying to catch my breath best ride ever the experience was something i will never ever forget.
Rewatching AGAIN! Out of all your awesome vlogs, this one is one of my utmost favs! You guys rock....then AND now! Can't wait to see your vlogs on re-opening day! It'll be the next best thing to being there in person! Love you guys! ❤️❤️❤️
Monday 1/27/20 - Park opened at 9am. I got there at 9:07am. Got boarding group 122... totally bummed... but luckily my boarding group was the very last group to be called. I got super duper duper lucky. Ride was amazing! Simply brilliant! Going again on Wednesday!!!
This is so great! We were able to go on Rise a few weeks ago at Hollywood Studios in Florida...and it was such an amazing experience! I totally get the kid crying afterward😊 I LOVED the room with the Storm Troopers! I agree you really need time afterward to process it! We are going to Disneyland in a few weeks and I’m determined to get to ride it there as well!
Katie you laughed like I did through the whole Millennium Falcon ride. I suspect i will be as emotional after riding. For those of us who are first generation Star Wars ( I was 11 yrs old when I watched the original at the movie theatre) it was unfathomable at that time to think you could for a few minutes live in the movie. Thats what it looks like. Hoping to ride this spring. Thanks for sharing and staying awake 24 hours :)
Such an awesome video! I am not even a big Star Wars fan and watching this gave me goosebumps! I can’t wait for myself and my husband (who is a Star Wars fan) to experience this!!! ❤️
omg im not even there and you guys had me floored with that video!!!! im crying!!! wow!!! and im learning about star wars!!! thank you guys for posting these incredible videos!!! you guys are outstanding!!! love you both!!!
This is so great! I had to stop the video half way to tell you guys! 😆 All my favorite TH-camrs in the same video and of course everything STARWARS is just amazing! Thanks for showing all of us that can’t make it to the parks just yet. I plan on going April 21st for my 14th wedding Anniversary with or without my husband. 😂 It would be Awesome to see you guys! I’ll keep my eyes 👀 peeled. Sending you all good vibes and may the force be with you! 😀
From the handful of videos of other vloggers , viewing there reactions, this vlog thus far is the best reaction, you can really feel your anxious nervous, emotions, excitement feelings . I saw your vlog in my recommendation. I watched, I tear'd up, I really enjoyed this. So....🎉🎊 I Subscribed! 🎊🎉 I'm looking forward to your future vlogs. Anybody that can make me feel all this as I described your video. You won me oveR! Ty for a awesome reaction!
I am Canadian and can only come to California every few years. I have bought passes and am scheduling a visit late fall. I am so excited and your videos keep my excitement up. I have been to the parks as a kid including Disney’s 25th Anniversary and brought my 4 kids three times including the 50th and 60th Anniversary. This will be the 65th anniversary. My kids know they have to bring me for the 75 and 100. (Disney is ten years my senior)
I got boarding group 12 opening day! I got my notification just after I got my call for my breakfast reservation at Carnation Cafe about 8:50a. Were there boarding groups 1-11 that day?
Any chance you know where the last chicken exit is? My mom doesn't do rides with any semblance of a drop but she wants to go through as much of the queue as possible
Just spent three days there last week before the ride opening to avoid crowds which worked great...but then again we missed an opportunity to ride Rise. We are good with waiting until crowds die down a little.
Omg Dylan was sooo sweet when he cried, moment like that is why I love Disney so much

That's what I did too on opening day. The start up splash screen cost people valuable seconds I think. I got group 12!
OMG. I can't wait. I actually started crying. I'm not even a Star Wars fan.
Best reaction ever!

I was at Disneyland for my birthday wearing a birthday button and a First Order soldier said “aw too bad your birthday will also be your death day” 💀💀
I've done this experience a few times and this is the first time I've noticed the crashing TIE Fighter that causes the "depressurization" with Vader at 24:52. She points and goes "Look at that!!!" Awesome capture. Well done.
Love Katie's laugh.
Andre Wallace I know right!!!!
It was infectious! And full of joy!

Katie, your laugh is infectious. You guys made my day! Great video!
Her laugh is Annoying I feel bad for who ever rode with them because they probably couldn’t enjoy it.
You guys are awesome! I love it when you team up with Adam the Wood & Fresh Baked to share in the experience - soooooo fun watching you all together!!! Katie's laugh cracks me the hell up!!!
Wow, wow, wow. You guys really captured the excitement and the magic. Loved Spencer's reaction.
