“Come Live Your Very Own Epic Star Wars Story”
― tagline
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is an upcoming Star Wars–themed luxury hotel currently being built near Disney's Hollywood Studios, in the EPCOT-Hollywood Studios Resort Area of the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida outside of Orlando, which was originally scheduled to open in 2021. However, it was delayed to March 1, 2022, as part of Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration, since the opening was postponed indefinitely following the closure of the park due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In this first of its kind experience and in partnership with NASA, Disney and Lucasfilm are inviting guests to become the hero in their own adventure – and they can do it in whatever way they'd like. They will live aboard a "starship" for two days and two nights.
Before guests arrive at the Galactic Starcruiser at the Walt Disney World Resort, they will come up to a terminal – like a small, private cruise terminal and starcruiser clerks will help the guests check in for their stay.
They'll then be ushered into a launch pod – a small capsule – where they'll have a simulated experience of blasting off into outer space and leaving earth behind.
They can look out the window overhead seeing every planet in our Solar System in our Milky Way Galaxy whizzing by at a fast rate. and after jumping to light speed to another galaxy far far away within our universe, they will see the famous Star Wars planets pass by until they eventually see the ship – the Halcyon – in the distance.
Once the capsule arrives at the Halcyon, the doors of the launch pod will open and guests will emerge into the atrium where the atmosphere will reinforce that they are on a Starcruiser.
The guest cabins will be unlike any place you've ever stayed before. Cabins can sleep up to five people. The bunkbeds look like what we've seen Chewbacca sleep in and the window shows a view out into space.
Guests of all ages will be invited to participate in a variety of activities such as wielding a lightsaber while facing off against a training remote – so, the training guests have done will ultimately pay off. Every guest will also be invited to take a tour of the bridge of the ship where the navigation and defense systems are.
Guests will get to go on a planet excursion to Batuu to visit Black Spire Outpost at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge as part of this experience. Guests will take an exclusive transport and they'll emerge straight out into the land.
In between their stay, guests can choose to travel from the Halcyon to Earth and use Disney Transport buses to travel to the different parks and other destinations around Walt Disney World Resort and back on the same day.
