Hi Megan, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I'm also excited to see and experience the new hotels coming to the Walt Disney World Resort! There are currently three of them under construction: the Star Wars resort, Disney's Riviera Resort and Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge. I haven't heard of any plans for new hotels at the Disney Springs area, but I am sure that they will be posted on the
Disney Parks Blog as soon as they come out.
The Star Wars resort is still under development, but we already know that it will be unlike any resort we've ever seen. Guests will be invited to embark on a fully-immersive multi-day adventure aboard a luxury starship to experience high-end dining, space-view cabins and, of course, a lot of exciting action. You can get a glimpse of the
amazing work being done to bring Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge to life and even listen to the theme written by the great John Williams on the Disney Parks Blog. Isn't it cool?
If the Force runs as strongly in your family as it runs in mine, you might also want to consider visiting the
Disney Cruise Line website, because the Star Wars Day at Sea is back at select itineraries. Some Star Wars heroes and villains will be landing at Disney Cruise Line's ships (can you imagine how skillful a pilot must be to land a spaceship on a cruise ship?) to meet Guests, train Padawans and celebrate the Force. I am sure it is going to be an adventure to remember!
I hope the Force leads you to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge as soon as it opens so you can enjoy this amazing journey through the stars!
May the Force and the magic be with you,
Julie
