Big news today as the Disney Parks Blog has announced the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction will open at Walt Disney World on Thursday, December 5, which just so happens to be the birthday of Walt Disney himself!

Disneyland will follow close behind with Rise of the Resistance opening on Friday, January 17, 2020.

From the Disney Parks Blog:

When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.

As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, Jan. 17.

As previously announced, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens at Walt Disney World Thursday, August 29.
