Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Hotel

No, its not a scene from one of the Star Wars movies, this is the “Halcyon”, a glamorous Starcruiser, known for exotic expeditions in a galaxy far, far away.

Progress continues to be made at Walt Disney World’s highly-anticipated Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Hotel.

Transporting guests to the Star Wars Universe, the themed-rooms feature virtual windows providing a look out in to space. It’s all part of an immersive experience that goes beyond the décor in the guestroom.

Guests will live aboard the Halcyon starship for a two-day, two-night stay, where they will interact with characters and become an active participant in immersive adventures.

Their journey begins at the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal at Walt Disney World, where a launch pod will blast off, taking them to the ship’s location in space. When the Launch Pod docks and the door of the Halcyon opens, guests will step into the ship’s main deck Atrium.

There will be special lightsaber training activities, an area where they can learn how to operate the ship’s navigation and defences with assistance from crewmembers, and visits to Batuu, Disney Hollywood Studio’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Other areas within the ship include the Engineering Room, where guests can sneak into a crew-only area of the ship and discover the inner workings.

In February, before the pandemic turned the world upside down, it was announced that reservations would open later this year. The hotel is still expected to open in 2021. Watch this space
