PHOTOS: MAJOR Physical Distancing Changes at Disney World’s Rise of the Resistance

A LOT has changed in Disney World lately!

On Friday, Disney announced that face masks would no longer be required in outdoor areas (with a few exceptions). We’ve seen plexiglass start to disappear on certain attractions, and some shows have reduced physical distancing, but now one of the most popular rides in all of Disney World is seeing some changes!

If you have not experienced Rise of the Resistance, there may be a few spoilers in here so beware! We rode the attraction tonight and noticed two MAJOR changes from what we’re used to.

Rise of the Resistance

First of all, the pre-show room with Rey and BB8 no longer has physical distancing dots on the ground. The Cast Members instead told guests to keep moving and fill in all of the available space.

Ground Markers Missing

We did not see dots on the ground before you enter the pre-show room either.

Another major change is that there are no dots on the ground or plexiglass in the transfer ship that follows the pre-show room.

Plexiglass is Gone

Instead, guests are able to stand wherever they’d like.

There were still dots on the ground when we went through the First Order corridor and the prisoner cells.

There is also still plexiglass on the ride vehicles themselves.

These changes are pretty huge for one of Disney World’s most popular attractions! We’ll continue to keep an eye on them and let you know if anything changes!
