The Disney Parks Star Wars Themed Lands Just Got a Name, an Added Feature... and Even More of My Money!
Clearly Disney is out to get every dime I have. They are using my ultimate weakness in order to get it. I simply can't resist just about anything related to Star Wars. But this latest move is really hitting me in my soft spot.
Do you see all of those people and creatures pointing? They are showing where goofballs like me can spend all of their money at the new Star Wars theme park and Resort.
A few moths ago, I wrote about the progress being made on the new Star Wars themed lands at the Disney Parks in California and Florida. The two parks are set to open in 2019.
This weekend at the D23 Expo, Disney not only revealed that the lands will be called "Star Wars: Galaxy Edge" they also released a new video that gives a glimpse of some of their plans.
But I already knew this. How could this help put me further into Disney induced debt?
As soon as I heard the Star Wars themed lands were set to open in 2019, I began negotiations with my wife to take the family there in 2019 or 2020. Because we have never been to California, we decided to kill two bird with one stone. We would check out the Star Wars land at Disneyland in California.
Perfect! We have already been to Disney World in Florida four times. It was actually a pretty easy sell to get her to agree to my plan.
Then this past weekend, Disney went and screwed up my plans.
There is no way I can go to Disneyland instead of Disney World.
Why?
Those brilliant bastards at Disney just upped the anti. They are not only opening up "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge", they are going to include an entire Star Wars themed RESORT... but only at the Florida location!
I'm only kidding. Having to change my Disney vacation plans is nowhere near as bad as turning Darth Vader into Frankenstein.
Yep. They got me again. Now I have to go back to Disney World for a fifth time. (Obviously this is a complete exaggeration as I don't really have to do anything... but its fun to write about this silliness.)
Apparently not only will the resorts be decorated like a brand new Star Wars based smuggler's planet, according to Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman Bob Chapek, "every single room will have a view into space".
Wow daddy! I can actually see my college money just floating away into space!
In addition, guests of the resort will have an opportunity to take on a customized secret Star Wars based mission. They will receive a dossier outlining their mission. Disney will provide guests on these missions with Star Wars based costumes and allow them to spend the day totally immersed in the world of Star Wars. (Man I hope there is an option for just the kids to dress up... even I have my limits.)
With my luck I'd end up getting caught on film doing something that would make me as infamous as this guy.
So what do you say? Steemit meetup at Disney World in 2019?
I'll bring the blue milk.

Whaaaaat???? A Star Wars Resort and Park????
This comment made me laugh out loud! Love it!
Oh boy, this will be a must to VISIT place when this will be ready.
this will be more fun for adults than for kids :)
Edit: maybe there will be some kind of Park for adults only for the future like the TV series "westworld" this would be some crazy sh#t.
They are going to make so much money! Yeah I wonder if Universal or a competitior would ever play off teh Westworld theme.
2019...That's too long..open now!!
No kidding!
HanshotfirstFest in 2019! Pencil me in. Now I've got two years to convince the Mrs. what a great idea this is. :-)
MJ is taking this news awfully well.
Steemit meet up in 2019 you say? All the more reason for me to move back to Orlando I say.
Lets hope you don't end up like that guy :D
LOL. Knowing me I might.
Hilarious! My wife and I are already talking about the longer lines and how Park prices will rise yet again. But hey, it Star Wars, right? I'll make sure that my HELOC gets approved so I can go.... LMAO.
I am excited about this. A little too excited in my wife's opinion. But I'm a kid at heart. I'm very jealous of the resort in Florida and not one in CA.
I raise my glass of blue milk and offer a toast to an awesome and possibly affordable experience..
I can't even imagine the lines. I seriously don't know what I'll do.
I need to go back to Orlando!! Really hoping they have a 'thrill' ride in the new Star Wars area, something as big as Tower of Terror or Yeti.
I have a feeling they will do more of the 3d rides like Universal has. It seems easier and less malfunctions.
Seems pretty incredible :)
I recently stayed at a Lego Hotel in Windsor, UK which was quite the unique experience.
Big Star Wars fan myself so may have to visit here sometime!
Oh I will have to check out the Lego Hotel. Sounds awesome!
Wow, this sounds fantastic. Just take my money. I so want to go in 2019.
We need steem to really take off!
Yes, we do so we'll have some money to spend.
