Not anything about Toontown or Big Thunder Ranch, but it appears that they're beginning the merchandising events already!

I saw the title of that blog pop up in my RSS feed earlier, and I never bothered to read it to see what it was about!
Well, they are jumping full throttle into all things Star Wars. First, this Force Friday. Then we have the (probable) opening of the Launch Bay in October. The new Star Tours film/adventure is supposed to open later this year. I think that the Magic Eye Theater will probably be used for something Star Wars-related (maybe a premiere or some other event). The actual movie opens in December. Jedi Training Academy is getting refreshed a bit. And then... early next year (my guess is that it could be soon after the holiday season ends in January)... Season of the Force, featuring Hyperspace Mountain.
Who knows when the actual land/galaxy will even open? I can't imagine that it would open any earlier than 2019, but probably more like 2020?? And if there is going to be an entrance point to Star Wars Land near Toontown, if Toontown didn't get downsized it would at least need to be re-themed or reconfigured to make the transition to Star Wars Land more logical.
Well, wherever this new land is going (other than just the Big Thunder Ranch), it's going to be interesting to see how it all comes together!
