2. Construction has already began, and this new location will likely open as a "phase two" of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Construction on this new hotel started earlier this year, and though it might not look like much right now, based on photos shared via social media it looks like the outside of the building structure is coming along nicely, with new concrete walls and steel beams going up every day. Though there's no way to know for sure what Disney's internal timeline is for opening this hotel, we'd guess that we may be looking at either a late 2020 or early 2021 opening date for this new hotel, likely coinciding with a "phase 2" announcement for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

3. There will be some kind of connection to Disney's Hollywood Studios

According to the permit, this new hotel will be connected to the Disney's Hollywood Studios park in some way, which isn't exactly surprising news considering the hotel is being built right on the edge of the park. However, we still don't know exactly how Disney is planning to connect the hotel with the park. Some have speculated that a special walkway will be built between the hotel and a new, private entrance inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, while others think the transportation link will be a simple shuttle. Either way, hopefully we'll know more as Disney gets ready to (finally) give us more information on this project at the D23 Expo, happening in just a few weeks!
