Disneyland's Star Wars Land Plans Leaked Before Expected D23 Expo Announcements

There's a new report that claims that the new Star Wars Land, which will probably be announced at D23 Expo 2015 later this week, will feature multiple attractions, anchored by a mega E Ticket ride which will employ "a trackless vehicle that will break the mold when it comes to how theme park visitors interact with a ride environment." More details below:

Micechat, which has a good reputation for Disneyland rumors, shared the latest on Disneyland's Star Wars plans. As expected, they are looking at the top side of Disneyland for their upcoming Star Wars Land. Check out these details but take it as grains of salt until Disney confirms

The plan for Star Wars Land has grown immensely in scale, and it's now aimed squarely at the land north of Disneyland itself. Taking over the Festival Arena, the Circle D Ranch, Mickey's Toontown and several rehearsal halls and office buildings just north of Toontown. The Circle D property, where all of the park's horses, goats and other animals are kept will be moving off property to a new facility nearby, and the horses will then be trailered in for their 4 hour shifts pulling the Horse Drawn Streetcars on Main Street.

The rehearsal halls and offices north of Toontown would be moved over to the larger 160,000 square foot office building Disney bought last year at 1515 S. Manchester Avenue, which now houses a dental supply company. That building on Manchester is slated to be phase two of the Pumbaa parking structure, expanding its capacity beyond 8,000+ spaces after the first phase of 5,000 spaces opens in 2018, but in the short term it will become the temporary home of Disneyland's displaced backstage buildings. The smaller building at 1585 S. Manchester will be demolished for the parking structure construction.

In addition to these details, Micechat reports the rides and attractions for the new Star Wars land are being built in "a top secret Imagineering lab in Glendale with Imagineers signing extra confidentiality agreements because the plotlines and characters are pulled from the next three episodes in the Star Wars saga and the Lucasfilm folks understandably guard that information with their lives."

Due to the possible spoilery nature of their attractions, we'll probably find out more about Star Wars land after The Force Awakens comes out in theaters. According to the report, Imagineers want to introduce an interactive Cantina experience for the fans.

We'll also see more Star Wars-themed attractions in Tomorrowland this year, with Innoventions reopening planned to open by Veteran's Day weekend in November with a version of the Star Wars Launch Bayi nteractive museum, which was recently announced for Shanghai Disneyland, plus a specially-produced Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie preview at the Captain EO theater, which will run through January 2016.

According to /Film, there are rumors that Star Tours: The Adventures Continue might add Force Awakens segments to the available trips.

The plan is to keep Star Wars Launch Bay in Innoventions where it will someday become the official Star Wars Land preview center once construction begins.

Fans expected Imagineering to share their Star Wars plans at D23 Expo 2013, but were instead greeted by a tease on the show floor. Disney head Bob Iger promised that Star Wars theme park news would be coming in 2015.
