The news was announced by Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger at his annual shareholders meeting Thursday. He revealed both opening dates for the respective 14-acre, themed destinations set to take Star Wars fans into the world of the popular movie franchise.
The sprawling sets on a remote world are based off of the newest "Star Wars" trilogy — so don't expect appearances by Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. But some familiar faces including Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren and fan-favorite Chewbacca will be a part of the adventure as visitors explore the immersive world.

The lands at both parks are nearly identical and offer a mix of trading outposts, a cantina and even a wooded area where Resistance fighters have set up camp. Entry is included with a park ticket, but it'll cost more for guests who want to create their own lightsaber or purchase their own droid modeled on R2-D2 or BB-8.

Guests planning to visit Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park between May 31 and June 23 will need valid theme park admission and will be required to make a no-cost reservation, subject to availability, to access the land, according to Disney.
