In case you missed it. Over the weekend at D23 Expo 2017, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek unveiled a first look at the detailed model of the Star Wars-themed lands that are under development at Disneyland park in Anaheim, Calif. and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Fla.

The Star Wars-themed lands represent the largest single-themed land expansion at 14 acres each will open in 2019.to the delight of thousands of fans in attendance.

“To say we are excited for the Star Wars-themed lands to open in 2019 is an understatement,” “All along, 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 said.

There will be two anchor attractions for guests to experience.
Guest will have a chance to pilot the Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and to be right in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance.

Our Disney Traditions

Tweet

We've been vacationing at Walt Disney World as a family for 24 years and that has become one of many family traditions that we've made over the years.

I enjoy sharing our traditions and have written about them on a few occasions for the Magical Blogorail.
You might even say writing about traditions has become one. There's  Our Unconventional (Wacky) Family Traditions, and just in time for the holidays Our Disney Holiday Ornament Tradition at Home.

Here are some of the things that our family feels we must do on each and every Disney trip.

• As soon as we drop our bags in our resort room we head straight to the Magic Kingdom and Pirates of the Caribbean is our first ride.
• You all know I love to take a few dis zillion pics while on vacation! Tradition has it that I must get the family in front of the castle shot, the Epcot shot, The The of Life shot and The Sorcerer Hat shot by PhotoPass photographers. I usually lend them my camera and have one taken with theirs. They take such great shots!
• Hidden Mickey hunting is another family favorite. It's so exciting to discover a new one!
• Food glorious food! Food is fodder for a whole series of traditions in our family. The first two foodie traditions were Dole Whips and Mickey Waffles.
