Rise of the Resistance had one of its worst days in a long time today, with over three hours of downtime so far. Rise stopped calling boarding groups at group 23 this morning around 9:40 a.m., and that delay lasted about 45 minutes. A second, more significant delay started right after boarding group 45 was called at around 11:40 a.m. That delay lasted until around 1:55 p.m., putting Rise way behind schedule. Rise had another delay at boarding group 68 from 4 p.m. to around 5:20 p.m. As I write this, Rise is at boarding group 70, and it’s unlikely they’ll get to boarding group 100. Here’s hoping to better luck tomorrow.
Besides that, crowds were moderate at all four Walt Disney World theme parks today. We counted 493 of 500 (98%) guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios wearing masks according to Disney’s guidelines.
