Secrets/Tips and Tricks:
- One guest aboard the Starspeeder 1000 will be chosen as the Rebel Spy. To increase your chances, begin to stare at the seatbelt sign the minute you are in your seat (before you put on your 3D glasses). My husband was chosen once by doing this!
- The smoothest ride is in the front of the car.

I was able to catch the eyes of the CM before the doors opened and pointed at my son and mouthed rebel spy. And he mouthed I’ll try. And he did it for us. My son was so excited. Might not work every time, but worth a try.

We love this ride and usually get to ride it at least 3 or 4 times while we’re there. For some reason when we went last time, the lines weren’t too long of a wait.
