Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World

The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is Star Wars fans’ dream come true. This is essentially a hotel, but also more of an out-of-this-world experience. Think of the Galactic Starcruiser as similar to hopping aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship, but instead being transported into a galaxy far, far away and living your best Star Wars life.

Overview

You’ll be able to find the Galactic Starcruiser near Disney’s Hollywood Studios and just outside of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

As previously stated, this isn’t your typical hotel, but a two-day, two-night all-immersive experience. How it works is guests stay onboard a starcruiser, a ship named the Halcyon.

Upon arrival, guests will be ushered into a launch pod, where a simulated experience of blasting off into space begins. If you look up, you should be able to see the Halcyon.

Once the capsule lands, doors open into The Atrium of the starcruiser. From special activities, like being able to wield an actual light saber, to touring the bridge of the ship, to exploring where the navigation and defense systems are located, the Galactic Starcruiser sounds like a one-of-a-kind resort stay.

Here’s what we know so far.

Passenger Cabin (aka Rooms)

Guests will stay in capsules, which have a window into space with a view of ships and other galactic sights. They’ll be able to fit up to five people.

Here’s a preview of some of the rooms.

Launch Pods

When you arrive at the terminal, you’ll enter a Launch Pod that “blasts off” into space and will dock with the Halcyon.

The Halcyon

This will be your home during your stay, where you’ll find your room, dining, amenities, activities, and more.

The Atrium

Described as “the heart” of the Halcyon and a “welcoming place where crew and passengers gather.”

On-Board Activities

Wield a Lightsaber

You’ll be able to experience the art of wielding a lightsaber and be able to put your skills to the test against a training remote.

The Engineering Room

This “crew-only area” allows guests to explore the inner workings of the ship’s systems. 

The Bridge

You’ll be able to operate the ship’s navigation and defense systems under the crew’s guidance.

Dining

The Silver C Lounge

As for dining, so far, all we know is guests will be able to enjoy The Silver C Lounge, a spot to relax and grab a drink.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Excursion

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Galaxy's Edge

Unlike any other stay on Walt Disney World property, you’ll even take an exclusive transport to the planet of Batuu and emerge straight out into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Yes, you read that correctly. This is a true “all-immersive experience.”

Pros And Cons

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort – Opening 2021

Resort category: Deluxe

WDW Prep Favorite: No

Pros: Coming in 2021, this new Star Wars-themed resort will be highly immersive and extremely unique; totally unlike any other resort experience on property

Cons: Disney hasn't released prices yet but we do anticipate it to be pricey, even though Disney bills it as a "2-night, all-immersive adventure"

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!
