Star Wars Land Heading To Disney Parks

This post is sponsored by fyefashion.com


Hello everyone!  After a year and a half, Mr.DisneyFan News is back!  The big thing for Disney Parks right now is the one and only Star Wars Land.  Back at D23 in early August 2015, Disney President and Chairman, Bob Iger, announced that Disney Imagineers are working on Star Wars Land!  This new land is set to come to both Disneyland park in Anaheim California, and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, in Orlando Florida.  Rumors are suggesting that Star Wars Land at Disneyland will replace the Big Thunder Ranch area behind Big Thunder Mountain Mine Train.

 Each land is said to contain 2 rides, one of which is set to let riders pilot the Millennium Falcon.  It will also contain a Cantina.

This is great news for Disney and Star Wars fans everywhere!
More news will likely be released in the future.


Thanks!
Mr.DisneyFan
