“We are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single themed land expansion ever," said Iger. "These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.”

And here's an idea of what the "Star Wars"-themed land will look like. Each themed land will span across 14 acres in Disneyland and in Disney World.

The two lands won't be the only "Star Wars" additions. Starting in 2016, visitors in both parks will be able to take a ride on Hyperspace Mountain.

The ride will reimagine its classic Tomorrowland ride, Space Mountain. According to Disney, guests will "join an X-wing Starfighter battle."
