Disney has set the opening dates for the new 'Star Wars' attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World:

The Walt Disney Co. DIS, -0.88% has set the opening dates for its new “Star Wars” attractions in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

“In light of tremendous demand, Disney made the decision to open the land in phases to allow guests to sooner enjoy the one-of-a-kind experiences that make Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge so spectacular,” the company said in a blog post following the announcement. At a later, yet-to-be-announced date, Disney will open the second section of each of the “Star Wars” lands, which will feature the other planned new ride, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. This ride is set to recreate a battle between the First Order and the Resistance, the warring factions depicted in the most recent entries to the “Star Wars” series.Tourists looking to visit either of the versions of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will need to purchase valid theme park admission to enter.

“This will also help dilute crowds to some degree, as most non-locals will have to choose between attending the grand opening or waiting for both rides to open,” Tom Bricker, owner of DisneyTouristBlog.com, wrote. “It’s an interesting approach.”
