The happiest places on earth are about to get a little happier, with some out-of-this world upgrades, after Disney announced it will be adding two new Star Wars theme parks to Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
The expansions will span across 14 acres each, making them the largest ever additions to the parks.
Star Wars fans will be given the chance to participate in an epic battle to save the galaxy and also go on a secret mission in the Millennium Falcon.
Disney made the announcement at its D23 Expo yesterday.
In a second Star Wars announcement, Disney confirmed Jurassic World director Colin Treverrow will direct Star Wars: Episode IX.
The ninth instalment of the series is due out in 2017.
