Epcot Forever to Premiere October 1st, 2019

April 10, 2019 By Daniel Hale

Per the Disney Parks Blog.

Debuting October 1, 2019, “Epcot Forever” will be an all-new, limited-time spectacle of fireworks, music, lighting, lasers and choreographed, special effects kites. The show will take us on a journey through the past, present and future of Epcot. Featuring a stirring collection of songs that paint a colorful picture of the park, this nighttime extravaganza will offer both a trip down memory lane and a look towards the future and all the magical possibilities still to come.

However, on a sad note IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth last performance will be on September 1st, 2019.

We have dates! Star Wars – Galaxy’s Edge Phase 1 to open on May 31st at Disneyland and August 29th at Disney Hollywood Studios

March 7, 2019 By Daniel Hale

Per the Disney parks blog, Star Wars – Galaxy’s Edge is set to open at Disneyland on May 31st and Disney Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World on August 29th. The new land will open in two phases with phase one opening with Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on phase two which will be announced at a later date.

According to the Disney Parks blog if you are planning to visit Disneyland on opening day through June 23, 2019, you will need valid theme park admission and will be required to make a reservation (at no cost), subject to availability, to access the land. Information on how to make a reservation will be available at a later date.

However, at Walt Disney World, a reservation will not be offered. Valid theme park admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios is required to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge after its opening on August 29, 2019. Capacity is limited. Additionally, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be open during Extra Magic Hours. During Extra Magic Hours guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can spend extra time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios enjoying select attractions.
