Disney Parks ‘Star Wars’ Expansions to Open in 2019

There’s a reason Disney World is called the happiest place on earth. It’s the magic in the air, being surrounded by the characters you grew up with, the fairy tale ‘lands’ you visit, and the way that any amount of time spent at Disney feels a little bit like the essence of childhood.

From the character meet and greets to dinner at Cinderella’s castle and themed rollercoaster rides to the tower of terror – Disney World has something for everyone.

With new additions coming this year and next, the parks are only continuing to grow their lasting legacy and provide a new immersive experience for fans. In a little over a month, fans of Toy Story will take their first trip to Toy Story Land, an experience we can’t wait to get to.

In an announcement today, fans of Star Wars found out more about expansions dedicated to the franchise in 2019. This video shows fans a preview of what to expect next summer and fall at Disneyland and Disney World, respectively.

With this announcement means an influx of visitors to the parks, so be sure to make your reservations soon. While the exact date for opening is yet to be made public, we know that Galaxy’s Edge is set to be one of the most interactive areas of the park to date. Fans can expect to feel like part of the Star Wars experience, not just an onlooker, by joining a faction, flying the Falcon, and indulging in all things intergalactic.
