New details have emerged regarding Walt Disney World Resort's Star Wars-themed hotel, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Announcements were made during a media preview event for the second attraction at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Rise of the Resistance, with Disney officially revealing that fans can stay in a galaxy far, far away staring in 2021.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will provide a deeply immersive two-night experience, thrusting guests into a world where they're surrounded by a cast of colorful characters regaling travelers with their tales.
For those interested, the experience is limited to two nights, with all guests arriving and departing at the same time. It begins with an invitation to step aboard a Launch Pod that transports them into space. Peering through the windows of the Launch Pod, guests will watch as they depart the planet before jumping into hyperspace toward the luxurious Halcyon starcruiser. Once they have arrived, guests will depart the Pod and enter the Atrium where the cruise experience begins, including an excursion to Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
Activities onboard include lightsaber training, allowing you to show off your skills against a training remote. Guests can also visit the Bridge to learn about the ship's navigation and defense systems. Each passenger cabin will feature its own window into space, providing unique views into the changing landscape that adjusts as the journey continues over the two-day stay. Guests can even venture into the Engineering Room to discover the inner workings of how the Halcyon operates. And at the end of the day, there's the Silver C Lounge -- a refuge for tired passengers of all ages to come and unwind.
Accompanying the guests during their stay will be a variety of Disney's cast, including famous Star Wars characters who will interact with guests and provide invitations and prompts that help develop varying, branching storylines depending on the guest's response.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is set to open at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World on Dec. 5 and at Disneyland on Jan. 17, 2020. Galactic Starcruiser will officially open in 2021.
