Cool New Details For The Interactive STAR WARS: GALAXY'S EDGE Galactic Starcruiser Hotel
Some new details have dropped at D23 today regarding the Galactic Starcruiser hotel coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World. We already showed you a model of the ship that you can see here along with some concept art, but now we’ve got some new information to share!
The ship that guests will be staying on is called the Halcyon, and it’s going to be a super fun and interactive experience for anyone who stays there. When you are on this ship, you are engulfed in the world of Star Wars.
In fact, once guests are on board, it will take you on a “journey through space [which] will begin as you board a star ship and depart with your fellow guests.” Guest will be able to move from the ship to the theme park as if they’ve never left the Star Wars universe. Guests will even get to see the ship leave the real world behind, and launch into Hyperspace as they head to the starcruiser.
Also, every window on the ship, including the ones in the cabins guests stay in, will offer a view of space that will constantly change as the ship makes its way across the galaxy.
Guests will be able to book a two-night itinerary aboard the Halcyon and it’s explained that “you will stay in well-appointed cabins, experience onboard dining, make a planet-side excursion to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, and much more.” The ship will also be filled with crew members and characters from the Star Wars universe. That includes heroes like Rey and Chewbacca and villains from the First Order like Kylo Ren and Stormtroopers.
Then there’s the fact that guests will be able to live out their own Star Wars story. Disney Parks explains, “Throughout the journey, you will be invited to delve deeper into your personal adventure by participating in onboard activities, interacting with characters, crew, other passengers you meet, and becoming part of the action and the broader Star Wars saga.”
There are also “hidden spaces deep in the mechanics of the ship, perfect for uncovering secrets or holding secret meetings.” So that’ll make things even more fun! The choices that the guests make on the ship and the story that they are building for themselves there will follow them as they play around in the Galaxy’s Edge theme park.
This sounds like it could be insanely cool! But there’s no doubt it’s going to cost guests an arm and a leg!
