The iconic Star Wars attraction, Rise of the Resistance, is set to reopen its doors at Disneyland, but the journey to this moment has been a rollercoaster! A temporary closure, initially expected to last longer, has now been confirmed to end sooner than anticipated.
But here's the twist: despite the excitement, this closure is just one of several Disneyland rides going offline in February. And the reasons behind these closures are intriguing.
Mickey Visit, your trusted source for all things Disney, has the inside scoop. We previously reported that the Rise of the Resistance ride would be back in action by February 13, 2026, and it seems Disneyland has confirmed this on their refurbishment calendar. This flagship ride, known for its complexity and immersive storytelling, is a fan favorite, offering an extra-charge Lightning Lane Single Pass service to skip the line.
The closure, which began on January 20, 2026, was initially expected to be longer, but Disneyland wanted to ensure they could keep their promise to eager fans. And this isn't the only change coming to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The land is undergoing a transformation, bringing it into the timeline of the original film trilogy and introducing iconic characters like Han Solo and Leia.
And that's not all! The beloved Oga's Cantina is also getting a facelift, though the impact on its storyline remains a mystery. With so many changes afoot, Disneyland is keeping fans on their toes.
But here's where it gets controversial: while these closures and changes are exciting, they come during a quieter period at the parks. Disneyland typically uses this time for necessary maintenance, but with the California resident discount ticket offer, spring crowds are expected to soar.
