As Walt Disney once said “progress is impossible without change” and change has certainly developed over the course of the years for the Star Wars themed expansions at both Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resorts. The announcement was first made at the D23 Expo 2015 and at the time their was no exact opening date but, all we do know is that they are going open up both in 2019 with no given date. Chairman & CEO Bob Iger confirmed the opening for the expansions last month during the company’s quarter one fiscal year earrings call.
