Disney Parks and Resorts Unveil Detailed Model of Star Wars Land

During a preview of the D23 Expo 2017, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Bob Chapek unveiled a first look at the richly detailed model of the Star Wars-themed lands under development at Disneyland park in California and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida. This exhibition, currently on display in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts’ “A Galaxy of Stories” pavilion at the D23 Expo, is yet another example of the breathtaking new worlds and immersive storytelling that set Disney apart.


“To say we are excited for the Star Wars-themed lands to open in 2019 is an understatement,” Chapek said. “We have said this will be game-changing, and through the model we can begin to see how truly epic these immersive new worlds will be.”

Chapek plans to share exciting new details about the project during the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Hall D23 Presentation on Saturday. The model will remain on display at the pavilion throughout the weekend to give visitors an up-close look at what’s to come on this never-before seen planet. In addition, the pavilion will display models, artwork and media that provide a first-ever look at some of the locations, starships, creatures, and droids that guests will encounter when visiting this planet.

At D23 Expo 2015, The Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced the Star Wars project to the delight of thousands of fans in attendance. The jaw-dropping new lands will open with two anchor attractions – one that gives guests the chance to pilot the Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and one that puts guests right in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Representing the largest single-themed land expansion at 14 acres each, the Star Wars-themed lands will open in 2019.

However, guests don’t need to wait until 2019 to be immersed in the Star Wars galaxy. From special character encounters to fan-favorite attractions like Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, and interactive entertainment like Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple, guests of all ages can experience Star Wars stories at Disney parks and resorts around the world.
