Disney Reveals When You Can Finally Visit The New ‘Star Wars’ And ‘Avatar’ Lands

The wait is almost over! Disney has announced the opening dates for new theme park attractions based on the “Star Wars” and “Avatar” movies.

A “Star Wars”-inspired area is set to open in 2019 at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, as well as at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. 

Meanwhile, the “Pandora: The World of Avatar” attraction will open on May 27 ―just in time for Memorial Day weekend this year ― as part of Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the dates during the company’s earnings call on Tuesday.

The Avatar-inspired attraction will include floating mountains, bioluminescent plants, two new rides and shops featuring Na’vi art.

At 14 acres each, the two “Star Wars” ventures will be the largest single-themed land expansions at Disneyland and Disney World. The new attractions will resemble a remote trading post on an alien planet, and will include a ride that allows guests to pilot the iconic Millennium Falcon.

Details are still sparse, but guests can expect to find themselves in “the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance,” Iger said in 2015.

The new land will open the same year “Star Wars: Episode IX” is expected to hit theaters.
