Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort
Disney has teased the first images from inside Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the highly-anticipated Star Wars-themed hotel set to land in Walt Disney World Resort, Florida next year.
A Unique Immersive Experience
This one-of-a-kind, or rather out-of-this-world experience at Walt Disney World Resort has been compared to a cruise by CNN and NBC, though instead of sailing out to sea, guests will be transported into ‘outer space’.
Embark on an Adventure
“Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a completely new type of experience,” said Ann Morrow Johnson, executive producer for Walt Disney Imagineering. “You’re going to live onboard a star cruiser… and you can get wrapped up in the larger Star Wars story.”
Duration of Stay
Guests will enjoy this immersive Star Wars experience for two days and two nights. The hotel, a star liner known as the Halycon, features themed cabins, crew members dressed in character, and numerous onboard dining options. Fans can choose their own adventure once they board, although all journeys will commence in the same manner with guests checking in to the main terminal before being shuttled into space via the Launch Pod.
Accommodations
Additionally, guests can expect a queen-sized bed and two built-in bunk beds in their cabin. While it remains uncertain if all rooms will have the same interior layout, it’s likely they will be quite similar.
Explore the Star Wars Universe
The experience also provides guests with opportunities to explore the Star Wars universe. They will enjoy land excursions to Black Spire Outpost on the remote planet of Batuu, along with a visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Furthermore, they’ll have the chance to role-play with characters, crew, and fellow passengers, which adds to the overall experience.
Looking Forward
The hotel is scheduled to open “sometime in 2021,” according to Disney, but further information on reservations is not yet available. Nevertheless, you can stay updated with the latest developments here.
