Walt Disney World has given us our first look inside the upcoming Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel and its a space nerds dream!
We wouldn’t usually cover any park or attraction outside of the UK but sometimes you just have to sit up and take notice of what other parks are doing and this one is certainly worthy of a story!
Still under construction Disney Parks Chariman Josh D’Amaro shared photos of physical mock-ups of the rooms at a virtual IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Park Operators) conference on Monday.
Built to resemble a starcruiser your room will come complete with a window wall that will be constantly playing views of the galaxy beyond your window along with a screen to show you navigational information.
An exact opening date is yet to be confirmed with Walt Disney World Resort in Florida keeping tight lipped on the finer details.
When an opening date is finally announced guests will be treated to a two-day experience on board the spaceship.
Disney said in a statement:
“In a galaxy far, far away, progress continues at Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, where guests will live aboard a starship for a 2-day, 2-night experience.
Unlike any typical cruise, though, you can become the heroes of your own Star Wars story in a new type of immersive experience that only Disney could create.
Guests will cruise the galaxy in style aboard the Halcyon, known for its impeccable service and exotic destinations.
Onboard, you’ll stay in well-appointed cabins, experience onboard dining, make a planet-side excursion to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu and much more.”
Thomas Smith, editorial content director at Disney Parks, said:
“While we never could have imagined what this year would hold for our company, we’ve learned so much: how to share that special Disney Parks magic with our fans at home during the closures of our businesses worldwide; how to reimagine our park, resort, and store experiences to meet new challenges; and how, even amid uncertainty, to plan for what we know are better days ahead.
Now, as we look to the future, there are new and exciting milestones on the horizon.
While the pandemic meant putting some projects on pause, we never stopped dreaming up new experiences.
“And we are looking forward to inviting our guests to see what we’ve been working on.”
Pricing has not yet been made available but we certainly can’t imagine it being cheap.
Either way what a wonderful experience this looks to be and I’m eager to find out more details as and when they become available.
