New Mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – Opening Memorial Day Weekend 2026
A galaxy of excitement is coming to Walt Disney World® Orlando in 2026! Disney’s Hollywood Studios is unveiling a brand-new mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run this Memorial Day Weekend. Located inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, this upgraded attraction will take guests on a thrilling new flight simulation adventure. Whether you’re staying in one of our Orlando villas or booking a Florida vacation home near Disney, this is an experience Star Wars fans will not want to miss.
Fly with Mando and Grogu
The updated mission is timed to coincide with the release of Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, making this one of the biggest events of 2026 at Walt Disney World®. Imagine climbing into the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and blasting off on a daring smuggling run with Din Djarin and Grogu (“Baby Yoda”).
The visuals are being crafted by the same design team responsible for the incredible virtual sets of The Mandalorian, creating an ultra-realistic flight through the galaxy. Fans of the classic trilogy will also love the chance to visit legendary Star Wars locations, including:
- Cloud City (Bespin)
- The desert planet Tatooine
- Remnants of the 2nd Death Star above Endor
It’s the perfect mix of new Star Wars storytelling and nostalgic destinations.
Big Upgrade for Engineers
One of the most exciting updates is the overhaul of the Engineer role. Often considered the least interactive job on the Falcon, it now comes with new responsibilities.
- Choose the Destination: Engineers will decide if the crew visits Bespin, Coruscant, or Endor.
- Grogu Interaction: Engineers will also interact with Grogu, giving guests a more immersive and memorable experience.
This upgrade means that each ride could play out differently, making it worth experiencing again and again.
