The Disney Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience is finally complete even though it took years to construct and had a delay. Everyone can now enjoy the hotel experience, Star Wars style.
So, what can you expect in this massively enjoyable yet expensive hotel experience in Star Wars style? What is the hype behind all of this?
Here is all you need to know about this grand two-day Star Wars hotel immersive experience.
Disney Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser: How it All Starts
The whole adventure starts with the guests arriving at the terminal of the Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World. They will have to check-in for their two-night experience there.
A Launch Pod will await them after checking in and then they will be transported up to the Halcyon starcruiser. The whole experience will take guests to an adventure throughout the galaxy in this newly renovated ship.
Guests will roleplay as inhabitants of this ship. The story will be between the events of Star Wars The Last Jedi and Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker.
As the Launch Pod docks with the starcruiser and the airlock opens, the guests will then step out of it and go into the main deck atrium. They will be greeted with the dark yet starlit vastness of space.
“Passengers will find themselves right in the middle of the action, making choices unexpected story moments. Do you help the Resistance, or do you tell the First Order? Your choices determine what happens for you during your voyage, including exciting activities and missions, character encounters, and adventures that go beyond any ordinary vacation experience,” said Disney Imagineer Ann Morrow Johnson. “As this is a Star Wars adventure, you can be pretty sure that not everything is going to go as planned.”
Guests will have a datapad of sorts where they can make decisions along the way. This will impact the individual stories in the narrative and the fate of the galaxy.
Inside the starcruiser, the guests will get to meet some interesting and unique Star Wars characters like the captain and members of the First Order, chow down at the dining room called the Crown of Corellia, enjoy “space” entertainment, and get to live out the ultimate adventure in a Star Wars universe.
