Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed in his quarterly conference call that Star Wars Land will be opening in 2019.
Star Wars Land has not been named yet. Although two attractions have been announced. One attraction puts you right in the middle of a climatic battle between the Resistance and the First Order. The second attraction allows guests to pilot the legendary Millennium Falcon ship which was made famous by Han Solo.
It was confirmed that Walt Disney Imagineering is hard at work adding new elements to Star Tours. Which would have a mission inspired by the next film Star Wars: The Last Jedi. You will be able to experience that film December 15.
Star Wars Land is boasting a cantina like restaurant inspired by the films. Plus a sit down restaurant for the more fortunate members of the galaxy. Star Wars Land will also include multiple shops. The experience will be immersive even with cast members being involved.
Fun Fact: Did you know when Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012. Walt Disney Imagineering was already working on concepts for a expansion land. During this time though the companies still operated in secrecy. Walt Disney Imagineering was designing Star Wars Land based off of the old trilogy. Once the companies became more in touch with each other. The Imagineers got to preview the future of the Star Wars franchise. Leading to the original Star Wars Land concept being completely scrapped and redone. Star Wars Land will have exotic architecture that you may see in a Star Wars film one day!
I’m excited for Star Wars Land! It truly looks remarkable and it’s going to be here very soon!
