The official Disney Parks Blog has been updated today with the future location of the new Star Wars themed resort that is currently under construction at Walt Disney World. As expected, this new hotel resort will be conveniently connected to the Galaxy’s Edge theme park attraction.
The announcement of this new hotel resort came during last year’s D23 Expo. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman Bob Chapek revealed a few details about the resort during a presentation that took place back in February at the D23 Expo Japan event followed by two short videos highlighting the concept visuals that were being considered.
Last summer, plans for a Star Wars-inspired destination at Walt Disney World Resort were unveiled at the D23 Expo.
Today we are happy to share the location of this exciting addition, which is currently under development on the south side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, just east of World Drive. This location will allow the experience to be seamlessly connected to the highly-anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, enabling guests to fully immerse themselves in the story of Star Wars.
This experience stands out among all of our destinations around the globe. Families visiting this destination will board a starship that comes alive with characters and stories that unfold all around them during their voyage through the galaxy – and every cabin window has views of space! Guests visiting the multi-day adventure will also be welcome to participate as a resident of the Galaxy by dressing in Star Wars-inspired attire.
