We just opened a new nighttime spectacular, “ World of Color ,” and a reimagined attraction, Silly Symphony Swings , and began the second year of Summer Nightastic! at the Disneyland Resort , but there’s even more Disney magic on the horizon. This morning we hosted an event called “What’s Next” and shared a look at what’s coming to Southern California in the next few months and years. Here are some of the headlines: The “Adventures Continue” for the Jedi in All of Us – Kathy Rogers, Senior Show Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, gave a huge update on the reimagining of Star Tours today. The new Star Tours 3-D attraction will debut in 2011 in Disneyland park and will bridge that “long time ago” between the two Star Wars trilogies.
