Star Wars Experience: The Rise of the Resistance ride at Disneyland

 

The new Star Wars Rise of the Resistance ride at Disneyland is an experience like no other. When you enter the building, there are Stormtroopers and Rebel fighters everywhere to greet you. You then walk into a theater room that looks like it has been taken over by The First Order. After getting in your flight vehicle, you’re off on an adventure with Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron and BB-8 It’s like you’re in one of your favorite Star Wars movies!

Find out about my experience and thoughts on the new Star Wars Rise of the Resistance ride at Disneyland and see our video!

Star Wars Experience: The Rise of the Resistance ride at Disneyland

Star Wars Rise of the Resistance is definitely a must-do experience. It’s like you’re in one of your favorite Star Wars movies! I highly recommend this for anyone who loves Star Wars and wants to capture that same feeling they get when watching any of the films in theaters! Be prepared, though; it has some intense moments (especially towards the end)! Completely worth every minute though if you ask me!!

The first day we got on the ride wait list queue and we made it on the last ride of the night. The second and third night that we were there we signed up to the queue at six a.m. and we got to ride around noon. It was literally worth the wait times because the ride was so much fun!

I did not have any expectation for the ride as I had purposely not watched previews, but I really enjoyed it. The way that they made you feel like you were in zero gravity throughout most of the entire thing was incredible!

It kind of felt like when we would go down all those hills on Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland because your body just gets thrown around with no control over anything. It is similar to Star Tours where it makes you feel as if you are actually flying through space, too, which helps bring out a lot more excitement from within.

The queue line has some pretty cool stuff for people who have been following along with everything going on in Galaxy’s Edge as well since this new attraction. If you love Star Wars, this ride is a must-see. It’s an experience like no other and one that appeals to all ages! I can’t wait for my next trip to Disneyland so I can try it out myself.

The War is Near: Marvel Studios’ AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!

This is so exciting, the date is SO close; I can almost taste the movie theater popcorn! It is of no surprise that our Family is a huge conglomerate of comic book fans. Since our kids were little, we were known as the “cool Family” in the theaters because we were there for the Thursday night premiers with kids in tow. Our kids have grown up with this love of comic books and Super Hero movies and have cultured that love into a borderline obsession 😉 full healthy obsession. We have watched every single movie. We’ve read every comic book leading up to each movie. Purchased advanced screening tickets the minute they were available. So technically I would not be exaggerating if I said I’ve already made plans for The War is Near: Marvel Studios’ AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR! on April 27th! [Read more…]

12 Strong- My Story of Meeting the 12 Horsemen and Attending the World Premier

If you follow me on social media you may have seen me sharing a lot about the movie 12 Strong. I first was approached about this movie when I was invited to attend the press junket in Los Angeles to interview the cast, and screen the movie. I read the press materials, I read the interviews and I immediately fell in love with the story. To learn that this was an actual mission that these Soldiers volunteered for, just blew my mind!

Interview with the 12 Strong Cast in Hollywood

Earlier this month, we were invited to Hollywood to screen 12 Strong (travel and accommodations were provided by Warner Bros. Pictures). 12 Strong is Warner Bros’ new military movie based on the book Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton and debuts in theaters on January 19th. Starring Chris Hemsworth, Trevante Rhodes and more, this movie tells the story of a classified mission which took place in Afghanistan immediately following the events of 9-11. Not only was this star-studded trip taking place at the memorable London in WeHo,  we then attended the press Interview with the 12 Strong Cast in Hollywood. What a weekend it was!

Ever since my children were babies, we have always been told that they look like they are of Samoan descent.  As a result, our oldest Daughter has been in love with Hawaiian and Polynesian dance since she was 4 years old.  She looked and felt like she belonged, which wasn’t always the case where we lived.

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
