Walt Disney World has been making cuts, delaying construction projects, and making health and safety changes around the parks recently.

It’s been a totally surreal experience being back at Disney World, but we’ve been on a mission to see how Disney is addressing the health and safety concerns of every guest and Cast Member inside the newly reopened parks.

You can bet that we spent our morning trying to nab a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance.
Plexiglass Barriers on Rise of the Resistance
Rise of the Resistance is the super high-demand ride in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — even in the limited capacity reopening days of Hollywood Studios! If there’s one thing that’s no fun, it’s running into a glitch when boarding groups are loading. Today, when we were trying to grab our spot in the Virtual Queue, we ran into a glitch that’s pretty tiny — but it could mean the difference between you getting a boarding group or not!Â

Rise boarding groups were gone in under one minute at the 10AM release and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is dealing with some serious demand of its own. The queue FILLED UP.Â

As you may have noticed, when the Disney Park Pass reservation system launched, Annual Passholder availability went pretty quickly.
