In announcing the new Star Wars offerings coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney revealed that they will no longer be hosting Star Wars Weekends due to construction of the 14-acre Star Wars Land.

(Note: As of publication, DisneyWorld.com still listed Star Wars Weekends as coming in 2016.)UPDATE: It has since been removed

At the D23 Expo, it was announced that a new seasonal event, Seasons of the Force, would be coming to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. While the Disneyland edition of the event will begin in November, we are unclear when (and if) the Walt Disney World version which was to include a new fireworks show will begin.

UPDATE: While a Star Wars themed fireworks show is coming in January, a Disney spokesperson said that, “With all the experiences being added to the daily operation of the park, we’re taking another look at when we launch seasonal offerings.”
