Star Wars Land Opening Info/Rumors?

Would be great to get a return of the Light Side Half in 2020.

We are planning to go in 2020, so we know it will be open by then. But by all the talk today, I am seriously nervous if we can afford to go back. We like to stay deluxe, we don't travel around to other Orlando destinations. If they really go a few hundred more a night for the Yacht/Beach Club area like people are predicting, we may finally be priced out of Disney - the way we like to travel there.

I'm nervous.

Wondering if they'll have previews at D23 (like they did with Fantasmic! pre-opening). Eagerly anticipating this year's event announcement.

We are planning a December 2019 trip. We want to be there for all the Christmas decor but also because my boys are Big Star Wars fanatics. Now I am getting worried about our plans. What do you all suggest? Really don’t want to put it off to December of 2020...

(First time poster by the way. Glad I found this page! Been to Disney 8 or 9 times. Just took my husband and kids for the first time in 2016. He is not a rides or theme park guy but he fell IN LOVE with Disney).

Star Wars should be open in December but of course you would likely be fighting big crowds.

If we go the week after Thanksgiving do you think we would be somewhat ok even with the opening of Star Wars prior to that?

If Star Wars opens before that its going to be busy no matter what. Star Wars is projected to open in October/November.

The opening of Star Wars will make Pandora’s opening look like presale of tickets for Alice through the Looking Glass

I have started calling it Space Madness.

Maybe it won’t be as bad as we think....right?

I believe this opening will make the last days of Osborne Lights look like it was a very minor event. I have never seen crowds like what was there, and I've been in DHS over Christmas itself.

We usually go every other year to the World. Next trip would be 2020. We're actually delaying until 2021 mainly because we want to give SW:GE a good year before we even get close to it.

You do realize that 2021 is the Magic Kingdoms 50th anniversary... so I’m not sure crowds will be any less...

Depends how they do the celebration as the actual 50th is October 1st. Also would depend on when Tron, etc open but early in 2021 might not be as bad - about 16 months into SWGE being open and not yet to the big festivities for the 50th

Very true, until the timing is released we just don’t know. But I think it’s something to keep in the back of your mind while planning. At least is I am.

Absolutely- lots to watch over the next few years that can bring crowds - and then the year after WDW’s 50th is EPCOT’s 40th with some other things to come for that ... not going to be a “slow” time for a while

Exactly! But all really exciting stuff!

The key - there will be a ton of great and new rides or experiences in all of the parks. The crowds may be high, but they will also be spread out. When Pandora opened, Epcot and DHS were barren.

I was hoping for August 2019 also.
