Disney World Needs Galaxy's Edge to Succeed
A galaxy that's "far, far away" is finally within reach for guests at Disney's (NYSE: DIS) sprawling Florida resort. Previews for high-end Disney World passholders kicked off over the weekend for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios, ahead of the official opening for all park visitors on Aug. 29. Previews for the theme park's employees took place earlier this month.
All eyes are on Florida after Disneyland's similar 14-acre expansion failed to generate an initial pop in turnstile clicks. Disney stock took a hit after the company announced a surprising decline in domestic theme park attendance. Things will be different this time, and let's be frank: This is only the first phase of Disney's Star Wars-fueled expansion on both coasts.
