What will Disneyland build for the new Star Wars Movie?
Disneyland has recently agreed to spend 1 billion dollars to expand the park in Anaheim, CA.
The Orange County Register talked to two Disney experts to speculate on how Star Wars might factor in:
George Lucas had been vying for space at Disneyland for years. The word on the street is that Disney officials were waiting to see how “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” does at the box office before revealing future plans. A Star Wars Land is likely in the expansion because “it has a global audience, and the blueprint could easily be taken around the world.”
Because “heads in beds” (more people staying in Disney hotels) is more lucrative than park ticket sales, Disney could make a “Star Wars”-themed land in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Splitting Star Wars Land could “encourage people to stay longer and visit both parks in order to feel like they’ve seen the whole attraction.”
