Disney has narrowed the opening windows for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge from a broader "2019" to two distinct seasons for both Disneyland Resort (California) and Walt Disney World Resort (Florida).

In a surprise announcement over on the Disney Parks blog, Walt Disney Imagineering Portfolio Creative Executive Scott Trowbridge revealed that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open in summer 2019 at Disneyland Resort and late fall 2019 at Walt Disney World Resort. In addition to the announcement, Disney released another promotional teaser for the highly anticipated Star Wars -themed land.



Spread across 14 acres of land, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will transport park guests to the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy's edge that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Located within the land will be two attractions: one that lets guests take control of the Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and another that puts guests in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. In addition to these two attractions, Galaxy's Edge will have a cantina-style restaurant, shops, and character encounters.

While we wait for Galaxy's Edge next year, Disney is meanwhile gearing up to finally open the highly anticipated Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World next month.

Damn, I'm definitely gonna check this out. Has anyone here been to on the GotG Mission: Breakout ride?

I went to it back in the early 2000s when it was the Tower of Terror but haven't been since then.

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be very into equipping myself with a bluntsaber and spending an entire day there...

@Kman - Only one day? I heard in Orlando there will be a hotel in there, and if you stay you get a mission that takes you across Batuu. Really expensive though.

Anyone seen the avengers 4 synopsis? “A culmination of 22 interconnected films the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.”

If you have been to Walt Disney World and haven't done The VOID in Disney Springs you are missing out BIG time.

It is a totally immersive VR simulation. You are rebels disguised as stormtroopers and you have to go to Mustafar. You feel the heat and smell the sulfur. You feel the laser blasts when they hit your armor.

It is amazing!!!

@blitzkreg - True story: My parents couldn’t afford it either. We went to Disney in the 80s in the cheapest way possible: driving down and sleeping in the covered bed of a pickup truck every night. Loved it, and became a lifelong Disney fan because of it. I didn’t realize until years later that they did everything they could to get us down there because they knew our dad had cancer, and there was no telling how long he had left. He died 16 years later, after we’d squeezed in a couple more trips to WDW, in slightly less trashy conditions.

Not sure what the lesson is here. I can afford to go to WDW whenever I want now, but even if I couldn’t, I’d get there somehow while my kids were still young.

Ive been waiting for this my whole life, both to see it and one day experience it with my son, and its set in the sequel time-frame.

Maybe we can get pictures with Luke, but he'd probably just say no. And then die.

I guess we'll have to settle for pictures with Rose and Han's charred mangled corpse. But hey, we'll get plenty of porg souvenirs.

Got a reason to go back then. Already visited Magic and Animal Kingdom (with that sweet banshee ride), but still wanna checkout Hollywood Studios and Epcot. For Star Wars I’ll return
