UPDATED: IT'S HAPPENING!! Star Wars, Toy Story officially coming to DHS! Plus new Soarin'!

[THEDISNEYTHREE]

Not really, one of Disney's 'new' attractions will simply be swapping out Sweetums with Chewbacca in the existing Muppets show, and retitling it Wookie & Friends.

is there ay kind of time frame for when Star Wars land will be opening? obviously there is a LOT of construction to be done. are we looking at least at 2017?

I'm excited about all of this, but scared of the prices we'll be paying when it all completed.

I just told my boyfriend I'm so excited for all this that I'm ready to head down to WDW now with a hammer and some nails and say "I'm here to start building!"

I wonder if Soarin' over California will be completely replaced by the new movie or if they will run it in one of the theaters still. I suppose that would be a logistical nightmare because you'd have to create two separate lines so people could make sure they saw the movie they wanted....

No new name for DHS?

This is what I was wondering also!

I think everything coming to DHS sounds incredible, it will totally transform the park! I'm just wondering, how is the park going to remain open during all this construction?! If they try to do everything at once, that's huge amounts of work on both sides of the park.

I knew Star Wars was coming. I was sort of thinking they'd do a Cars Land, but not as convinced. I'm RLY surprised that a TOY STORY land is coming!
That's awesome for a variety of reasons!
I have yet to do Cars Land in California, I like that HS and DLCA have their own exclusive lands.

If anything, I was expecting a general Pixar themed land with various Pixar attractions, but this is much better.

Sci Fi Diner is totally gonna be closed and re-tooled for Star Wars, isn't it?

most of the work will be at the back of the park so construction vehicles will be entering back there away from the public roads at the front of the park.

Toy Story Land coming to DHS!

Yeah baby!

 

[Hunterr]

I just realized something. What will become of TOY STORY PIZZA PLANET?

I legit love the pizza there (it's fine for quick service, alright?!)
Do you guys think they will make a better, revamped one wherever Toy Story land will go, or leave Pizza Planet where it is? (Though, I'd imagine they can use that building for something star wars related).
