By Leave a Comment

A lot of construction is happening in Disney World right now, thanks to all the new lands and expansions coming to the parks. One is Pueblo Esperanza, a new Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which is taking over the area once inhabited by DinoLand U.S.A.

We Can’t Believe These NEW Photos of Disney World’s Abandoned ‘Star Wars’ Hotel

By 6 Comments

This hotel was as short-lived as it was fascinating. A unique experience where you could board a Star Wars ship for yourself and live out your own adventure with characters, missions, and space food. We were lucky enough to visit it multiple times during its short reign, and that just made its closure all the more disappointing. But thanks to Instagram, we’ve got a peek at what the building looks like now!
