But Lucasfilm wants to make it up to fans who will be disappointed by this news! Keep reading to find out how what options guests who’ve already bought tickets have to choose from in terms of ticket transfers and refunds.

First of all, here’s some good news! Star Wars Celebration will return to the Anaheim Convention Center on August 18th through 21st, 2022.

If you’ve already bought tickets for this year’s event, you have a couple different options. You may transfer your tickets to the new event dates or receive a full refund. You can also choose to receive a credit for the cost of your tickets which you can then use towards Star Wars Celebration merchandise. But there’s some extra-incentive to transfer your tickets ’cause you’ll get this cool Stormtrooper character pin if you do!

The ticket refund and merchandise credit request period will open on Monday, June 22nd, and must be completed by August 26th, 2020. Additionally, if you’ve booked a hotel in the official room block through our housing portal, your reservation will automatically be canceled.

The video gives an overview of safety measures including — but not limited to — guest temperature screenings, increased sanitation, the hand sanitizer stations and distancing markers that guests will find around the park, contactless menus and payment methods, and more.

Disney World announced Reflections — A Disney Lakeside Lodge last year.

The Disney Vacation Club resort was set to occupy the area where Disney’s River Country used to be, just near Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Despite there having been several construction permits filed in the area a few months ago, construction and development on the new resort may have been canceled.

According to WDWMagic, several situations point to the fact that Reflections may be indefinitely suspended. Some construction sources indicate that the delivery of materials has been permanently canceled and that work on some already-completed concrete pours has been removed.

Disney has also refrained from filing any notices of commencement for the area since April 3rd. There has yet to be any official announcement from Disney so, as of now, this cancellation has yet to be confirmed.

Largescale cancellations such as this are certainly a possibility with the global health crisis and resultant economic downturn. Disney has canceled major projects in past recessions, and we’ve already seen significant construction delays this year.
