Mickey’s Toontown, at the far back of Disneyland, is a relatively low-key affair with a couple of rides for wee ones and a chance for some face time with a certain star mouse at his home. Next to that home is an off-limits, nondescript door that leads behind the park to a vast construction site where something altogether different is taking shape.
This is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the most ambitious land ever added to a Walt Disney(ticker: DIS) theme park.
Barron’s recently spent an afternoon touring Galaxy’s Edge—a first for the press this late in construction—with executives from construction, operations, and “imagineering,” or creative design, along with a Star Wars expert in a holiday R2-D2 sweater.
