In a galaxy (not too far away): Disney to open large ‘Star Wars’ theme parks in California and Florida

Disney theme parks have their sights on a galaxy far, far away.

“Star Wars” is getting its own themed lands at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced at the D23 Fan Expo on Saturday.

“We are creating a jaw-dropping new world,” Iger said.

 The 14-acre attractions represent the largest single themed land expansion ever.

 Iger also said that the Star Wars land will be “every bit as thrilling as the films” and will include attractions and entertainment in an area populated by aliens and droids. There will also be a Cantina and the chance to take control of the Millennium Falcon — one of the signature attractions.

 One adventure also promises to put guests “in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.”
