3 Interesting Dates on Closed Attraction schedule that could have a Star Wars Connection.


3 Interesting Dates on  Closed Attraction schedule that could have a Star Wars Connection.

 I still have Star Wars on the brain after the big D23 announcement.   I went online today because I was thinking about how non specific they were regarding the dates  for Star Wars related happenings at the park .  I thought I’d check and see if the Blue Sky Cellar was listed anywhere –since it has been closed for quite awhile.    Not only did I see a listing for it –but several other Ride Closure updates caught my attention.  Here is a link to one of the sites that shows the ride closures and openings.

1.        Innoventions has been closed since before March of this year and at D23 we found out why……Star Wars Launching Bay and Mavel Superhero HQ is going in.   Innoventions is currently listed as Reopening on 10/01/2015…….So we may be getting the Star Wars Launching Bay in slightly over a month.  This is truly exciting.

2.       Blue Sky Cellar is scheduled to reopen on 10/03/2015…….This means that we could start to see some peeks up close and in personal of what is coming with Star Wars Land like we did before Carsland went in at DCA.

3.       The last listed attraction closure and reopening is the Tomorrowland Theater:   It shows as being closed from 06/8/2015 (last is when Tomorrowland sneak peek ended)  It is listed as reopening on 12/02/2012.   If you do the math –that is about 16days before The Force Awakens opens in theaters. I know I said that it probably wouldn't happen---since Avengers didn't get a sneak peek and Star Wars is a even bigger movie and probably doesn't need the extra advertising.....but if it doesn't I'll be there all day watching it.

Will we get Star Wars Attraction announcements at D23 this Year?

I went to the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim in April (which I recorded a Podcast about the other night that we will post soon on my movie page which you can find via:

And being the Disney fan that I am I was hoping that we would get some news regarding the theme parks.  There was a panel on one of the days about some merchandise that is coming to the parks –but no big announcements regarding the theme parks.

     The first new movie The Force Awakens is now less than 6 months away and know that with the 4 Billion dollars Disney spent to buy Lucasfilm that we are going to see more Star Wars in the parks  (Since it is basically Disney’s answer to Harry Potter).   The Blue Sky Cellar has been closed for awhile now….Will we see the Star Wars plans there once they are revealed???


Will D23 in August bring us Star Wars Theme Park news??



D23 is coming up in August and unfortunately for me it falls once again on the same weekend as Tiki Oasis in San Diego –which means I will once again be missing the big Disney convention.  
With no news at the Star Wars convention is D23 going to be where they reveal some of their plans? 

There are already rumors of Innoventions reopening with a Star Wars/Marvel makeover that may have meet and greets.   What we really want to see are some big plans for a Star Wars Land.  Disney teased some Star Wars stuff being in the works a couple of years ago at D23….Are they ready to reveal those plans now? 
 And will D23 be the place to do that?

What do you think and what would you like to see in the parks.
Here were some of my old ideas (Before Disney bought Star Wars --for a Vegas Casino/Theme Park.........  I'll post some new thoughts soon in one of my "If money was not a concern Ultimate Theme Park discussions"
