Today is a HUGE day in both Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Disney World and Disneyland Park, because we finally got to see the new changes coming to Smugglers Run!

Mando and Grogu are here!

We’ve been waiting for this day for MONTHS, ever since we first heard about the changes, and now the day is finally here. Thanks to Disney, we got a first look at the changes for Disneyland’s Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. What’s really changed with this ride? We’re here to take you through it all!

Three NEW missions have been added to the attraction, starring none other than The Mandalorian and Grogu! On this new mission, we’ll be heading to Tatooine, where Grogu and Mando will meet us as we try to capture a pirate and two imperial officers, as well as steal any crates they have on them.

New missions are here!

That’s not all, though! If you’ve ridden this ride previously, you may have always wanted to be a pilot, as they have the most to do (the other two options are gunner and engineer). However, that’s no longer the case, as these changes have made the engineer positions have more say in the adventure.

This is so cool!

The engineers will be able to communicate with Grogu throughout the mission. The engineer now pretty much has a Grogu cam where you can check in on comms with Grogu, and you get to pick the location that the Falcon goes to. It’s hard to keep your eyes focused on the mission when Grogu is doing so many cute things on the screen beside you.

Hi Grogu!

Which adventure will you and your crew go on? Your journey could lead you to all sorts of places, which include potential experiences on Bespin, the wreckage of the second Death Star around Endor, or the just-announced bustling city-planet, Coruscant.

Talking with Mando!

We’ve got a feeling the ride will boost in popularity for the next few weeks, thanks to the new adventures, as well as the summer season starting up, so if you’re visiting, we recommend packing your patience. Don’t forget about the Single Rider line available for the attraction, which can be a great way to experience the new version of the ride without waiting for an hour or more.

This is amazing!

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney World AND Disneyland news, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB!
