Disneyland will be a different place it was then when it closed last March. Next time you ride one of Disney s newest attractions, Rise of the Resistance, it will be modified in order to make it a few minutes shorter. One of the new rules was that indoor attractions could not exceed 15 minutes in length. The ride originally was 18 minutes long from end to end. Disneyland recently confirmed that the ride will be shorter.
Half the experience requires walking with stops in various locations, the plan is to trim these points of the ride by a few minutes. It won t take anything away from the experience as a whole, but it will be something less than the full experience.
