Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, Walt Disney World’s newest resort experience, has had a busy week of announcements. However, it is difficult to call this one a resort because Disney describes it as an “all-immersive, two-night holiday experience that goes beyond anything Disney has ever produced before.” We almost like to describe the experience as if it were a cruise rather than a resort. We previously published the sample cost per visitor per night, and we’re not sure if it’s the high price point that has confused guests, but it appears that some fans are perplexed. Disney has had to explain that, no, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser does not actually transport passengers into space.
There is a question that appears on Walt Disney World’s frequently asked questions page:
“Does Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser really take passengers into space?”
In response, Disney offers the following reply:
“While your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage is not an actual trip into space, passengers will experience the sensation of voyaging on a starcruiser through space in a galaxy far, far away—just like you have seen in Star Wars movies and shows. After arriving at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Terminal, registered Guests will board a launch pod and rendezvous with the waiting Halcyon starcruiser. Once onboard the Halcyon starcruiser, you will see passing ships, planets, stars, and other breathtaking galactic sights float past realistic windows that look out into space—including windows in every passenger cabin and suite. On the second day of the voyage, you’ll board transport from the starcruiser for a trip down to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, where you’ll continue your adventure on the exotic planet. During your 2-night adventure, you will feel like you’ve traveled throughout the Star Wars galaxy. It’s all one seamless story—your Star Wars story!”
“Every Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation package includes a 2-night stay in a well-appointed cabin or suite, meals (excluding alcoholic and specialty beverages) and the opportunity to live your Star Wars story through exclusive experiences, missions and activities.
View a sample itinerary that gives you an exciting look at some of the many experiences that you may encounter during your voyage.
The vacation adventure also includes entry to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge—as well as the rest of Disney’s Hollywood Studios—for your planetary excursion to Batuu. Valet parking is also included.”
