Early Reveal of Smugglers Run Featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu
Although this new mission was not expected to open until later this month, Disney delights Guests with a new reveal. What do you think of this change for Smuggler's Run?
New Star Wars Locations
Earlier, Disney teased that the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will soon have a brand new mission. The new mission will feature the Mandalorian and Grogu.
Hondo Ohnaka has gotten wind of a deal going down on Tatooine between ex-Imperial officers and a band of pirates. There's a generous bounty for their capture, so you'll borrow the iconic ship and team up with Mando and Grogu to track them down and explore the galaxy.
This new mission will now explore a brand new location! After departing from Batuu and visiting Tatooine, the flight crew can choose to visit Bespin, Endor, or Coruscant.
New Roles Aboard Smugglers Run
Disney Imagineers share that along with a new mission, they also looked at the individual roles for guests on this attraction. Their mission was to create more clear roles, provide onboard feedback, and help each guest feel that they are part of the overall mission.
To "further enhance the game playing," the Engineer will be the most coveted role because it will be the Engineer to select the crew's destination.
Disney has also partnered with Epic's Unreal Engine 5. Now all five monitors aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run can operate more smoothly. This will provide an incredibly immersive experience for guests.

As the final touches are being put on this new experience, Disney shares a new briefing video featuring a cute little surprise guest.
These new missions will debut on May 22, 2026, at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
This is a great reveal for May the 4th, and as guests prepare to embark on these new missions this month.
