'Star Wars' Theme Park Rumors & Details, D23 SPOILERS: Disney CEO Says Florida Expansion Updates Coming In 2015 Ahead Of 'Episode VII' Release Date

According to a number of new reports concerning Star Wars news, the highly anticipated theme park in Florida that we've heard rumors about for quite some time will get some updates come 2015. This means that we'll see some ideas and possibly more information about the theme park at 2014's D23 and in next year. The confirmation of the theme park update comes from Disney CEO Bob Iger, so we can assume this isn't a rumor.

Here is a Twitter post from Wall Street Journal writer Ben Fritz, which was posted during his live-tweeting of the Disney Shareholders event this week:

Disney working on designs for a "far greater Star Wars presence in our parks," says Bob Iger. Details coming next year.

Furthermore, Variety backed up this news with more information.

"When we grow Star Wars presence, which we will do significantly, you will see better bets being made that will pay off for us than were made in the past," Iger said. He also explained that he expects to see "better returns than we saw in the past."

Variety also reported:

Lucasfilm and Disney also will host Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim on April 16-19, while "Star Wars" is expected to have a major presence at the D23 Expo, Aug. 14-16, again from the Anaheim Convention Center.

In other words, D23 is going to be amazing this year, but we won't see too much until 2015. So while we look forward to Episode VII hitting theaters in December of next year, we can expect great news coming earlier!
