Star Wars Land To Begin Construction In 2016

Want to fly Millennium Falcon on a secret mission, or dine at the Mos Eisley Cantina? Welp, you'll be able to once Disney has built their most ambitious theme park: Star Wars Land.

Construction on Star Wars Land will begin in 2016 at both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida. This news comes from Disney COO Tom Staggs, who spoke today at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2015 Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference in Beverly Hills, California. Staggs did not provide any information as to when the attraction would open to the public.

But when it does open, Star Wars fans are going to be in for a real treat. Disneyland and Disney World are expanding 14 acres each to make room for Star Wars-themed park. It will feature attractions, shops, and restaurants inhabited by Star Wars' aliens and droids.
