There will be no Celebration in 2018, Reed announced today. The next Celebration – after April’s Celebration Orlando – will be in 2019.
That’s the year Episode IX is due, and the Star Wars Lands are expected to open, and so far, U.S. Celebrations have been held in the years saga films are released. A return to Anaheim is probably the best bet – I doubt we’re ever going to see a domestic Celebration not held within a few miles of a Disney theme park ever again.
We don’t have a location yet, but these things have in the past few years been announced at the closing ceremonies of the preceding Celebration, so we may find out April 16. Skipping years in nothing new, either – Celebrations started at 3-year intervals with the prequels and swapped to every other year until Celebration Anaheim in 2015.
Meanwhile, we also got details on Rebels programming and new guests for Orlando.
OMG, my friend wants to come over from Prague when the new Star Wars land opens…we were figuring on Star Wars Vacation…..this would be MEGA Star Wars vacation. (Yes, her husband thinks we’re insane to be planning this far ahead. Luckily, my coworkers are much more understanding.)
