Disney is adding Star Wars areas to its U.S. theme parks
Two 14-acre Star Wars areas are coming to Disney theme parks in Anaheim and Orlando, the company announced Saturday at the D23 fan expo. Expect an immersive experience like Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Star Wars areas will mark the largest-ever themed expansions for Disney parks, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"We knew it needed to be big. We knew it needed to be great," Disney CEO Bob Iger said. "And we knew it needed to be every bit as thrilling as the films are going to be. So we’re going to transport guests to a whole new planet." Julie Kliegman
