I can't even deal! Super excited!!!
... But that article was vague.

Thank you Iger, Cap'n Obvious - you bought the franchise for 4 billion, of course you are going to build Star Wars attractions. We want details - Stop torturing us.

I'm sure a large chunk of DHS will be Star Wars since some areas/shows over there are closed.

Just announce something already. Even if it's just announcing the day they will make an announcement.

I got excited when I saw the thread title, but the articles doesn't reveal much we didn't already know.

Can't wait to finally see these plans. I hope they blow me away with awesomeness.

I notice that it says "Disney Parks"....I wouldn't hold my breath for too much in Florida.

“The plans are ambitious so it’s going to take some time for them to be built and opened.” As if we expected anything else, Mr. Iger

He did say we'll see more specifics this year...finally.

Seriously. If they announced a special hard ticketed event on May the 4th or similar to reveal plans, they could make all the money. All of it.

The DHS plans are supposedly bigger than the ones for DL. I have no details though.

They REALLY need to do something at DHS with Star Wars though... It needs some zhuzzing up. Especially since Universal is having a building boom.

...and a nickle is bigger than a dime.

It's interesting to note that if you look some of the original articles about the Fantasyland Expansion it was also referred to as "ambitious".

New Fantasyland is a strange mix of ambitious architecture and landscaping, terrible forced perspective, and lackluster rides. Be Our Guest does have pretty good food for lunch, and Dumbo is a huge upgrade. I'll give them that.

At this point...anything WDW builds is ambitious (for them). Compared to other theme parks in the area or the Disneylands however...

Nothing he hadn't said in other calls of this sort....

It's nice that he said it, but this was all pretty well established at this point.

Iger has been whipping up Wall Street for Star Wars attractions for over a year, at this point he has to deliever or Wall Street is going to hold him personally accountable.

We landed on the moon? Half of DHS is shuttered and we didn't think that an announcement is imminent?
