Disney World's STAR WARS: GALACTIC STARCRUISER Hotel Will Open in 2021
Disney has announced that Walt Disney World’s next hotel, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, will be open to the public in 2021. The Disney Parks blog released the info, as well as some concept art you can check out. The new type of immersive hotel experience is described below:
This is a new type of immersive vacation that only Disney could create – a two-night, cruise-style itinerary where you’ll become the hero of your own adventure in an experience that surrounds you 24/7 in Star Wars storytelling.
Leave it to Disney! It’ll be like Westworld, but much less violent and debauched. A full Star Wars immersion, to say the least. They go on to describe the guest arrival experience:
Whether you show up via personal vehicle, Disney transportation or by landspeeder, curb-side check-in prepares you to leave Earth behind, jump to lightspeed and begin your Star Wars story. From the Starcruiser Terminal, you will enter an exclusive launch pod for travel up to the Halcyon, your starcruiser in a galaxy far, far away. Through the pod’s viewports, it looks as though you are traveling through space to approach the massive ship that is much too large to land on any planet.
And what it will be like for guests to travel between the park and the hotel:
To get from Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and back, you’ll remain fully in-story as you step aboard the transport ships designed specifically for this new immersive experience, which you can see in the artist concept rendering above, released today. It will connect you directly to a spaceport at Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, where the story you began in the starcruiser will continue and evolve while exploring the 14-acre land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
This will undoubtedly be an incredibly fun and unforgettable experience for anyone lucky enough to attend. I’m sure it will cost a pretty penny though, so start saving now. Check out the photos above and below, and let us know if you have plans to check it out in 2021.
