Disney To Announce Star Wars Theme Park Plans Next Year

Disney CEO Bob Iger said during a call with analysts today that Disney will unveil its Star Wars theme park plans next year.

"When we grow Star Wars' presence, which we will do significantly, you will see better bets being made that will pay off for us than were made in the past," Iger said, according to Variety's Marc Graser.

Nothing is known yet about what Disney plans to build, or where, or when. Most speculation has centered on Disneyland in Anaheim, California, as the first destination for a "Star Wars land" or other park experience. Celebration Anaheim, taking place next April in the same city as Disneyland, would be an ideal venue at which to announce plans for Star Wars attractions at that park.
