Disney to Reveal Ambitious Star Wars Plans

[Disneyfamily4]

For Uni fans its a great time, for WDW fans, that horizon is years away and those 'concepts' should fear the rabid pack of accountant Sith Lords with calculators on their light sabers. I remain hopeful though.

You are absolutely right. It took the Mine train longer to complete, than it took for then entire Simpsons Land in Universal to finish.

They will probably drag it out to 2021 for the 50th anniversary unless they let that just slide by... like they do all the park anniversaries in Florida...maybe a special pin and drag out some old characters for meet and greet....I would LOVE to be wrong about that....

Really? The last anniversary number that mattered was 25, and it was a huge celebration. I really don't think anybody cares about 30, 35, 40, or 45 years. Anniversaries that matter are 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100.

I go in sept / oct as well as spring most years. The show is mostly empty. Last year when we went it was us and 4 other groups of people it was an early afternoon show the first week of oct. It was also empty went we went for MLK weekend this year.

Straw poll?

We go September / October and it's usually about 75% full on average.

I love The Simpsons, and really enjoy the Simpsons ride. However, The Simpsons land in Universal is underwhelming to say the least.

5 years isn't that far away.
2013 new fantasyland
2014 mine train
2016 rivers of light night show
2016 frozen ride at epcot
2017 for avatar land
2020 for Star Wars and what ever else they are doing

It's a better time to be a disney theme park fan then 2007 to 2012 when nothing was done.
After what I saw at Cartland, I believe both avatar land and Star Wars land will be special.

I'm excited to go to universal this Christmas to check out Harry Potter land. Good time to be a themepark fan.

NFL opened 2012.

That is literally what that dude said

It was how he framed it. He framed it as "WDW doesn't care about anniversaries and that's a problem." My response was "NOBODY cares about those anniversaries, so it's not a problem."

He couldn't of made it any more obvious without stinking sparklers in it.

What on God's green Earth are you talking about? I'm well aware he was talking about park anniversaries. So was I.

That would actually be a fun place to dress the role of an evil characters hat w

Darn, I wanted the dark-side/evil makeover store.

That would be fun to dress like an evil character - version of bibbidi bobbidi bouquet. You have excellent ideas

No you weren't. You were on about the resort anniversaries. But back on topic Disney got shamed by a small outfit when it came to one of the Epcot anniversaries that Disney ended up putting on some stuff.

He said "2021 for the 50th anniversary." 2021 is the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, not DHS.

Yes that is what he said.....

I keep hearing people talk about the removal of echo lake to start Star Wars land there. This makes no sense as the area is too close to the old Hollywood theme. To walk down Hollywood boulevard and then immediately to your left is dagobah or tattooine would be super jarring thematically. Something has to be done to make a proper transition from classic Hollywood to Star Wars.

Because I "like" several Disney-themed FB pages, FB now thinks I want to go to more "sponsored" items relating to Disney. One of them shows a swamp scene with a sunken X-Wing in Echo Lake, Gertie just behind it, and Earful Tower in the background.

Yes, that's been coming up on my feed too. Looked pretty cool.

Early May, early dec, Late Sept, and Mid Jan with near packed theaters. It still crams them in.

It's this image which appears to be poster art from a SWW several years ago. Good enough to start a rumor, huh?
