Rise of the Resistance had a really solid day of operations today, with steady calling of boarding groups from the moment the park opened.  There’s been one small delay in calling boarding groups, from just before 3 p.m. for about 30 minutes.  That happens almost every day, though, so it’s almost certainly a scheduled break.
