ANAHEIM, Calif. (KGTV) - Wonder what it feels like to soar above the "Star Wars" universe? Well now, you can — at least what's been constructed in Anaheim thus far.

Disneyland's "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" expansion is slated to open next year and drone footage captured by the park shows the land taking shape.

In addition to the Galaxy's Edge addition, Pixar Pier at Disney's California Adventure park is also slated to open in 2019.
