Inside look at Disney's new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attraction
Spanning 14 acres, Star Wars: Galaxy Edge is the largest single themed land ever created for Disney at a reported cost of $1 billion to create.
You may have sensed a great disturbance in the Force the other day, but don’t worry — it was a good one.
On Thursday, the Disney Parks Blog quietly announced the official opening dates of its upcoming Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attractions at both Disney World and Disneyland.
Disney guests will traverse the corridors of a Star Destroyer and join an epic battle between the First Order and the Resistance – including a faceoff with Kylo Ren – when Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opens Dec. 5, 2019, at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Jan. 17, 2020, at Disneyland Resort in California. At 14 acres each, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, now open, and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, opening Aug. 29, 2019, is Disney’s largest single-themed land expansion ever. (Disney Parks)

“If [Dec. 5] sounds familiar, many of our fans will recognize it as Walt Disney’s birthday,” the post added. “What better way to honor the ultimate storyteller than by introducing the most immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined in a Disney Park[?]”
