Big crowds already inside Disneyland in Anaheim as Star Wars fans wait for the opening of the new Star Wars ride 'Rise of the Resistance. Superfan Jennifer Lazo is there and tells KNX that Main Street is packed with people.

It took an hour in line to get the Starbucks coffee. She and everyone else in the Park will be able to jump on their phones to get a pass for the ride at 8:00 a.m. this morning. She says she's heard good things about the ride. 

No line to get through security on the east side. And they are letting people into the park! Lines to get in moving quickly. #RiseOfTheResistance pic.twitter.com/3HM1T8KekK

Disney calls 'Resistance' an "immersive ride" in which visitors dodge turbo-laser cannons trying to escape a Star Destroyer. It's the final component of Star Wars land, which saw huge crowds right after it opened last Memorial Day. 

Arrived at 5:30am. No wait at the Toy Story Lot to enter or get on a bus. So far, so good! #RiseOfTheResistance pic.twitter.com/i2u37Q6adx
