"The Star Wars-themed lands are the largest-ever, single-themed land expansions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts," The Walt Disney Company's website said. "At each location, guests will be transported to a never-before-seen planet -- a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space -- where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life."
