Daisy Ridley Gets Giddy Seeing Herself as Rey in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance During Disneyland Trip

Daisy Ridley can’t believe she’s part of the Disneyland experience!

The actress (32) shared a series of photos from her recent visit to Disneyland in her Instagram stories on Friday, June 21.

But Ridley’s trip to the theme park was a bit unusual after she was seen on screen before the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride started.

First, she shared a video of waiting and watching the pre-show – in which she appears – and expressed her disbelief at being cast in the popular ride. Her character, Rey Skywalker, tells park guests that they must help the Resistance defeat the First Order.

“Being ON the (top rated! 😏) ride at Disneyland is CRAZY!!!,” she captioned the video — which also showed a sweet moment where she looked directly into the camera in utter amazement.
