Hello Kristy! Thank you for coming to visit the Disney Parks Moms Panel! How kind of you to ask about your dad!
I recently had the opportunity to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. You should know that this amazing attraction is more like an 18-minute experience! At times you are walking as a "prisoner" of the First Order and at other times you are riding in a vehicle during a daring "escape" organized by the Resistance. While I never felt like I was on a roller coaster, there are a few quick turns and sudden moves. I strongly recommend that you and your father review the
Safety, Accessibility, and Guest Policies listed for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance while you make your decision regarding riding this attraction!
Kristy, should your father decide to take a pass on the attraction, I am sure he will enjoy exploring the theming of
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, especially if he is a fan of the Star Wars films. The attention to detail in this land is absolutely phenomenal!
May the Force be with you (and your father) as you continue to plan your visit to a galaxy far, far away!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan G.
