Disney Executives Share Pictures and Thoughts from Rise of the Resistance

Recently, several Disney executives had a chance to experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park, and shared their thoughts and pictures on social media.

Among those that took in the E-ticket attraction coming soon to Star War: Galaxy’s Edge were Disney CEO Bob Iger, Disney Parks Chairman Bob Chapek, Disney Imagineering President Bob Weis, and Disneyland Resort President (and future Walt Disney World Resort President) Josh D’Amaro.

Iger tweeted:

My job is truly The Ride of Lifetime. @Disneyland this morning experiencing a certain new attraction at #starwars Galaxy’s Edge. Can’t wait to share it with the world.

Weis replied:

And it was of course a blast for Imagineers to present status today!

This morning, D’Amaro shared a group photo on Instagram:
