2015 was another busy year at Walt Disney World, as Star Wars took center stage. The announcement of a Star Wars land sent fans into a frenzy. Aloha Isle and Sunshine Tree Terrace swapped locations, and there were several other significant closures and additions. Perhaps most notably, fans said farewell to the Osborne Family Festival of Dancing Lights. However, 2015 also saw the opening of two new bars that would become fan favorites. Welcome to Timekeeping.
