In spite of its trendsetting ways, Rise of the Resistance tends to experience more than its fair share of breakdowns, which can be frustrating for fans. Many Disney World fans hoped that the July construction permit would fix some of these issues once and for all.

The permit is vague, stating it is to “Provide labor, materials and/or electrical” for construction”, which could mean anything from a minor mechanical repair to a major refurbishment.

The official description of Rise of the Resistance reads:
The Resistance needs your help! Hidden in the forest outside Black Spire Outpost, the Resistance is gathering recruits for a secret mission.
With the First Order desperate to extinguish the spark of the Resistance, the mission is bound to have unexpected twists and turns. When your transport is captured by an imposing First Order Star Destroyer filled with legions of stormtroopers—and even Kylo Ren!—you’re going to need all the help you can get. Fortunately, a covert team of Resistance fighters—including Rey and BB-8—is at the ready to give you a fighting chance to escape… and a chance for the Resistance to rise.
Prepare for a thrilling, first-of-its-kind adventure!
