Now here’s some potentially disappointing news. The good people over at MiceChat (by way of this tweet from @StarWarsComlink) are hearing that when Disney officially cuts the ribbon on the opening of the new Star Wars Land theme park attractions at Disneyland and Disney World in 2019, there will be a separate ticketing fee for guests wanting to attend. Apparently this additional fee ($95 per day) will not be covered as part of the annual pass expense and could be in effect for the first 3 months that the new parks are open.
Recently Disney has been having separate ticket “Events” such as Mickey’s Halloween Party, the Main Street Electrical Parade Premiere and the Tower Of Terror 13th Hour Party. Word is leaking out that when Star Wars Land opens Memorial Day Weekend in 2019, Disney may launch the “Summer Of Star Wars” at Disneyland and Disney World. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Star Wars Land will open to guests only with a separate ticket for the “event” priced at $95 per day. Tickets will be scanned at each of the three entrances to Star Wars Land using the MaxPass system coming online this summer. This would essentially make Star Wars Land an additional gate at the parks for the first three months that would not be covered by annual passes. That’s one way to address the crowding concerns and make a little money in the process. Let’s hope this isn’t the final plan.
