With Disney's acquisition of the Star Wars franchise they officially purged a chunk of the EU from canon, and have since been very diligent in coordinating all 'new' material as canon (comics, TV shows films, novels, etc). It would only make sense that the new planet being created for Galaxy's Edge would be considered a canon location, and similarly the starship resort a canon vessel.
But with the push for interactive, personalized story lines for each guest, obviously it would be impractical to consider each guest's experience a canon storyline - but it does raise some fun questions regarding the is/should/what ifs of canonizing the theme parks to some level. From an official story-centric imagineering standpoint, are the theme parks recreations of canon locations - or the 'real' locations themselves?
Personally I'm okay if dropping my ice cream cone within Galaxy's Edge is not considered an official part of Star Wars lore.
