The 19-acre theme park that Disney has dedicated to the Star Wars saga will be completed in 2019. THR reports the park will be completed the same year as Star Wars Episode IX is set to be released. This Star Wars Land is planned for the Disney location in Orlando, which means we will have two Star Wars parks in the nation with the other being in Anaheim, California. Not much is known about the park other than the press release stating that visitors will have the opportunity to pilot the Millennium Falcon.

I'm super excited! I had previously laid out plans to make a trip to California when their park opened, but why would I go to the B+ Disney park when I'm closer to the awesome Orlando experience! Anyone else gonna start saving for this pilgrimage?

No pilgrimages for me, but it does sound intriguing.

That looks totally awesome! I would love to visit the site once it's done but I doubt I would save any money for such a pilgrimage, unless you save enough for me Banks, lol

:-O

I've done a quick research and for a round trip from Ontario to Orlando, it would cost approximately $1,000 including airfare and 4 nights at a 3-star hotel. Of course, if you want to pay for my hubby, then you double that! LOL

If you're gonna include all the tickets, fees, food, drinks & souvenirs, you should probably tripe that, at least.

One day I would like to visit Disney World but I don't see it happening for a great many years.  Maybe it will still be there when I do visit eventually.

Sometimes surprises happen when you least expect them, some members might need to use some excess points from their timeshares, so it does pay to be extra nice from time to time.  Oh and the best time to come down is mid November to Mid March, costs much less.
