Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Visit on Sunday/ November 10,204.
Waited about 30 minutes but while you walking through the line, you will see and experience feeling StarWars. Smuggler run is an very interesting ride we had, however the balance of seeing the screen and knowing whats happening is a bit diminished by the element of interaction!! Since you have to push buttons around you to your left or right while the screens are straight ahead, if you're trying to interact, you'll miss part of what's going on. That act changed the whole game..This doesn't make it a bad ride, it's just a bit inoptimal in my opinion.

Not very exciting, suitable for children to experience

Perfect experience!

It is closed for technical issues,.
I really don't get it,.it's so disappointing after all the effort that took for us to come all this way ?

It's not the best Star Wars attraction but it's very immersive to experience and you really feel like you're in the Millennium Falcon!
It doesn't exist anywhere else (only in Orlando).
The settings are magnificent.
It's interactive (there are 6 of you in the cockpit and everyone has a role to play with buttons to activate or even by directly piloting the ship).
I missed Han Solo or Chewbacca to fully experience the thing but it's still very nice (we did the attraction twice in 3 days at WDW in August 2024).

This experience is textbook fan service, lovers of the saga will experience it from the moment they enter the line, and as it gets closer, they will be excited about the possibility of piloting the DAMNED MILLENNIUM FALCON.

The attraction is for all audiences, very focused as if it were a video game that will depend on the skills of the group.

Unfortunately not as interactive as you might think, depending on the role you choose (pilot, gunner, engineer).

If you’re looking for something very interactive I’d definitely recommend the pilot. One person controls the up/down of the ship and the other controls the side-to-side.

However as a gunner you’d think you’d sit in the gunner seats in the millennium falcon from the movie but you’re still in the cockpit just pressing the same button over and over- no aiming, no reloading, you don’t even have to press it over and over, you can hold it. I thought we’d be swiveling around or at least be in the gunner seats from the movies.

The engineer actually looked more interactive than the gunner, having to press different buttons at different times when different events happen. Overall a fun ride just did not meet my expectations

Take advantage of single rider line!!

I was a Pilot and also a Shooter in this attraction since I was in it twice. I loved it, there wasn't so much line. The effects are very good, it really seems like you are in a ship.

Utterly underwhelmed at this to be honest. Hopes were high, and knowing there just 6 of us in the cockpit, I imagined a real team experience.
Instead, it's just a bit of a mess. If you choose to pointlessly smash the buttons that your assigned role is allocated, you miss half the view out the windscreen. If you just watch the 'flight', then it's just a sub par ride, not dissimilar from Star Tours, or countless other Sims.
Glad we Lightning laned it, I'd have been raging waiting an hour or so for the experience ?

Smugglers Run is the most immersive Millenium Falcon experience you’re gonna get anywhere, it is indescribably cool to sit in the cockpit and take part in a flight mission, with the absolutely top notch motion and visuals. It is maybe slightly short for the typically rather long line, and you may be engineer or gunner rather than pilot but I personally had great fun as an engineer.

IM SUCH A STAR WARS FAN AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS EXISTED!!!! I saw it on a Star Wars show like biomes and galaxy of sounds! I would reccomend this for any Star Wars fan!!?

Say what you will about the sameness of the re-ride-ability, or the mundanity of the coaxium plot and its relation to the franchise. For someone who was 6yrs old when Star Wars was released in 1977, walking up to a full-scale Millenium Falcon, and shortly after being ushered inside to sit at the dejarik table, it was as close to a religious experience as you can have at a theme park.

The theming and accuracy of the world, the immersion and attention to detail, the A-1000 Hondo animatronic character make the ride unforgettable. Walking into that cockpit for the first time will always give me chills, as will pushing the levers to send us to hyperspace.

Could it use some updates with more missions and the promised carry over of your results into your experience in the land? Absolutely. but it's a heck of a fun ride on it's own.

Hot tip: you can also ask your castmember to help you ride with Chewbacca (not literally). A few switches and button pushes from each station in the cockpit and you will hear Chewie growling and awawawing you through the mission instead of Hondo. Pretty neat easter egg, though you'll have better luck getting it on slow nights. Also make sure to ask them well before you get to the cockpit so they have time to walk you through the steps.
