May the Force Be...


At Disney?  Since Disney aquired the rights to the Star Wars Franchise there have been rumors swirling about a new section of Hollywood Studios devoted to Star Wars.  Both Disneyland and Disney World currently feature the fan favorite Star Tours ride.  Well the rumors are about to have some facts behind them, and they may be bigger than we even anticipated.

On a quarterly earnings call with Wall Street Analysts, Disney chief Bob Iger said that "design and development for Star Wars offerings would be revealed later in 2015."  He also said there's a "fair amount of design and development to greatly increase Star Wars presence in multiple locations around the world".  Bob Iger goes on to say "the plans are ambitious, so it's going to take some time for them to be built and opened".  He added that any future plans would be based on future films in the franchise.  That's a lot of pressure on the next trilogy of Star Wars films!  The first in the trilogy, Star Wars-The Force Awakens is set for release December 18, 2015.

There are several events in Anaheim (Disneyland) and in Florida where we can expect an announcement.

  • Star Wars Celebration is set for April 16th-19th at the Anaheim Convention Center.
  • May the 4th-Star Wars Fans will know this one.
  • Star Wars Weekend-held at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World select weekends in May and June.
  • D23 Expo-Scheduled for August 14th-16th in Anaheim.
  • Star Wars-The Force Awakens release date is December 18th.
Or they could pick a random Tuesday, when we least expect it and share the exciting news!  Would you like to be a part of Star Wars events at Disney?  Contact us at snapshotgetaways.com for packages today!
