Today at the D23 EXPO 2015, The Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced to an audience of more than 7,500 fans that Star Wars-themed lands will be coming to Disneyland park in Anaheim, Calif., and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., allowing Star Wars fans to step into the stories from a galaxy far, far away.
Ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life in the two parks include creating Disney’s largest single themed land expansions ever at 14 acres each, transporting guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life.
“I am thrilled to announce the next chapter in the long and exciting history between Disney Parks and Star Wars,” said Iger. “We are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single themed land expansion ever. These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.”
These authentic lands will have two signature attractions. Along with the thrilling battle experience, another attraction puts guests behind the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, as they take on a customized secret mission.

Re: Star Wars Land announced for Disneyland & Hollywood Stud
Okay, well it isn't 100% confirmed that Toontown is gone, although it's very likely that they're using the bkaclot area of it for Star Wars. This is confirmation for Big Thunder Ranch going, though.DisneyJedi wrote:Did they really say that?Avaitor wrote:And yes, this is going to replace Toontown and Big Thunder Ranch. Sorry, disneyphilip.

And Avaitor, go eat your words because DL's Star Wars Land is NOT replacing Toontown! Only the Big Thunder Ranch and some backstage areas are being removed for Star Wars Land. This has allbeen 100% officially confirmed by the Disneyland Resort themselves and their official sources and social media sites.
