Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
Last week, a malfunction on Walt Disney World Resort’s Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride left guests stuck in the attraction for a significant period of time. TikTok user @fairytalelife_wife shared her experience in a social media video, giving followers a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes chaos after the ride broke down around 10:00 p.m.
@fairytalelife_wife have you been stuck on a Disney Ride. Happy it was the end of ride where it happened, and they are super quick, throughou all through the process of getting you out.
The video shows a group of guests sitting in a motionless Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride vehicle just feet away from the unloading platform.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is known for its cutting-edge technology and trackless ride system, which can occasionally cause hiccups due to the system’s sensitivity. A dropped item like a hat or cell phone can trigger an emergency shutdown, which may have been the case on this night.

“Happy it was the end of ride where it happened, and they are super quick, [throughout] all through the process of getting you out,” the guest wrote in the video’s caption.
While it’s unclear what caused the malfunction this time, the Disney’s Hollywood Studios ride resumed operation in the days following the incident. Walt Disney World Resort rarely provides specific details about minor ride malfunctions, leaving guests to speculate about the reasons behind delays like this one.

Despite this latest setback, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance remains one of Walt Disney Imagineering’s most technologically advanced and immersive rides. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction has long been known to have technical difficulties, especially with the moving cannons effect, which has spent years motionless at Walt Disney World Resort despite recent repairs at Disneyland Resort.
If you’re planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort, be prepared for any unexpected delays and listen to all Disney cast member instructions. Remember, even the best technology sometimes needs a little time to reboot.
