Disney Parks Chairman Bob Chapek announced the official name of the lands will be "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge."īy the time the Disney Parks & Resorts presentation had ended, a banner with "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" was flying in the rafters above the pavilion showing off the scale model of the Anaheim version of the new land. One of the very first Disney Parks and Resorts announcements at D23 Expo was the name for the Star Wars-themed lands being built at both Disneyland in California and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Official Name is "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" | Mickey Mouse Gets His First Ride and Toy Story Land to Open Summer 2018 | Revealing Some New Epcot Offerings | TRON and a New Live Entertainment Theater Coming to Magic Kingdom | New Transportation Options In the Works | Next DVC Property Proposed | This and That | Crowd Forecast Official Name is "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" And a big thanks for the other MousePlanet team members I met for the first time and all the readers that offered up kind words when I was around the MousePlanet booth, or when they spotted me wandering the floor of the Expo, and even at the edge of Rivers of America (and you know who you are).Įverybody neat and pretty? Then on with the show! Thanks also to Todd Pickering for making sure the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom map in my head did not always conflict with the layout of Disneyland (since I had not visited since 2012 and regular readers have a sense of how many times I have visited Magic Kingdom in just the past three years). Since I did complete what I'll call my personal "Disney Domestic 6 Park Challenge" earlier this week by also visiting Disney California Adventure and the place where Disney Parks all began (and on its 62nd birthday at that), Disneyland, in coming days (or weeks?) I will create a photo album and add some brief videos on the MousePlanet Facebook page of this Chicagoan-turned-Central Floridian's eye on the sites of the old Resort in the west that will never be complete.Ī special thank you to Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix for convincing me to make my first trip out to D23 Expo since I did so as an unaffiliated fan back in 2009, and making sure that I got in to the presentations I needed to see to report here. While I did manage to visit all four Walt Disney World Parks earlier in the week before heading out to D23 Expo, we will skip our usual Views Around the World section (though I have included a few along with the news), One Passholder's Tip, and have just an abbreviated This and That. The announcements cover a span of time from as soon as later this month when Epcot's Mission: SPACE reopens, to summer 2018, 2019, the Resort's 50th Anniversary in 2021, and unspecified points in between and beyond those years.

There we also mention several of the rumors that we heard no news about (confirming, denying, or otherwise).Īdrienne Vincent-Phoenix and Alan S. You can watch Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix and me discuss the announcements and share our views in the recorded replay of our Facebook Live video from MousePlanet's booth on the Expo show floor. Disney Parks Chairman Bob Chapek made good on his promises back at D23 Destination D in November and delivered a whole bunch of news about new attractions, transportation, and more.
