Kylo Ren Arrives at Walt Disney World Resort

[SMAX]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has quickly become the highest grossing film in American history, and soon guests at Disney Parks will be able to interact with one of the film’s most intriguing and chilling new characters, Kylo Ren.

Every day at Disney Parks, guests step into Star Wars experiences such as Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple and Star Wars Launch Bay, where they come face to face with some of the greatest heroes and villains of the saga. Starting in February, a visit to Star Wars Launch Bay at either Disneyland Park in California or Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will transport guests to the Star Wars galaxy for an encounter with Kylo Ren on the bridge of his First Order Star Destroyer.

As seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren is a dark warrior with a mysterious past. Kylo Ren is strong with the Force and serves as a leader of the First Order, seeking to destroy the New Republic, the Resistance and the legacy of the Jedi.

Star Wars Launch Bay is designed to showcase a variety of Star Wars characters over time. In addition to Kylo Ren, guests may also come across a garrison of First Order Stormtroopers or the heroic Wookiee, Chewbacca, holed up in a secret Resistance base.

The Force has awakened at Disney Parks with the addition of new and reimagined Star Wars experiences, just in time for fans of the blockbuster new movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to step into the Star Wars saga every day.

The new experiences further expand the Star Wars presence ahead of the new Star Wars-themed lands coming to the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.

I sense a great disturbance in the force... like my boys are going to have the time of their lives.

Any ideas when in 2017, The Star Wars Land is set to open?
Is it a gradual opening like Disney Springs?

It would be helpful to know by summer this year as I'm looking to book flights then for next year and feel I should be leaving my 2017 trip for as late as possible to give them a chance to have most of it ready or is it not on schedule?

Does anyone know?

Thanks

See more...

The full Star Wars land won't be for years I'm afraid. I don't believe they've even started it yet. Anywhere from 2018-2020 judging by the speed Disney build. There will be things like the Launch Bay though.

Given how long they have taken over Pandora (Avatar Land) at DAK I can't see much Star Wars being ready for 2017. I'd add another couple of years on that.

The Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. It took Disney 12 years
