FAQ: When Does Star Wars Land Open?

It had been widely speculated for some time that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (Star Wars Land) at Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios would open in 2019. This was confirmed at the D23 fan expo in July when Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Rob Chapek announced that Galaxy’s Edge at both Disneyland and Disney World would open before the next D23. D23 is a bi-annual event with the next one scheduled for Summer 2019, so one can presume that Star Wars Land will open at both parks in the first half of 2019.

I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
