This week, our new Star Wars entertainment offerings and attraction enhancements were officially unveiled at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Star Wars Launch Bay offers guests the chance to interact with Star Wars characters by choosing to encounter the Dark Side in a Star Destroyer themed area, or visit with the brave Rebels in a makeshift Rebel Base. Fans of the film franchise can also visit two different exhibits – Celebration Gallery and Celebration Hallway to view iconic ships from the Rebel Alliance and Imperial Navy fleet, as well as replica Star Wars props and murals.
We also announced that The “Symphony In The Stars: A Galactic Spectacular” nightly fireworks show will begin blasting off December 18. You can learn more about all of the new Star Wars offerings in Jennifer’s original post.
And 2016 is shaping up to be truly Unforgettable at Disney Parks. Check out our 16 reasons the new year should be the year you visit the Walt Disney World Resort.
