During this week’s investment call, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy made a statement about how the company will spend money on its theme parks in the coming year, hinting that an expansion at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge may be on the cards.
“…we also expect that while we continue to pursue strong cost mitigation efforts, certain costs will be elevated in fiscal ’22 versus pre-pandemic levels, including, for example, inflationary pressure on wages, costs related to new projects and initiatives such as Star Wars: Galaxy Edge, Avenger’s Campus, and the EPCOT expansion…”
Whilst the expansion at EPCOT and Avenger’s Campus was expected, it comes as a pleasant surprise that Galaxy’s Edge may be getting some more love. Will we be seeing the much anticpiated restaurant being built or perhaps a third ride. We may not have too long to wait as Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro will speak at a Destination D23 panel on November 20th regarding the future of the theme parks.
