Disney4me Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 As we continue to celebrate the past 90 years with Mickey Mouse, we also look forward to all the upcoming adventures the Disney Parks have to offer! And today while we’re LIVE at the D23 Destination D: Celebrating Mickey Mouse event with Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman Bob Chapek, we have news about more Disney magic on the way to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort! Destination D 2018 Let’s start with something HUGE coming to BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and let’s waste no time!! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open in Disneyland in the summer of 2019 and Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in late fall 2019. And we now know the names of possibly the two most highly anticipated attractions in Disney’s history!
