The park was originally slated to open in the fall.
Disney said, upon the park’s opening, guests will be “transported to the remote planet of Batuu, full of unique sights, sounds, smells and tastes.”
Fans will be able to sample galactic food and beverages, explore the merchant shops and even take controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
Disney said the next phase of the land will be called Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. This attraction will place guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
That attraction is set to open later this year.
