Let's Take A Tour Inside Disney’s Immersive New Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Hotel
Walt Disney World's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will launch to the general guests on March 1 after years of preparation and installation. The hotel is meant to be a completely immersive journey that takes visitors on the Star Wars version of a cruise; for many days, you receive an all-inclusive stay aboard the Galactic Starcruiser as well as a tour to Disney's Hollywood Studios' Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge area.
With the hotel's formal grand opening only days away, Disney has published several official photographs from within the complex, offering a great look at sections like the bridge, the bar, and the lightsaber training area, where you can practice with the world's first operational lightsaber. Take a look at this:
The first hotel ratings were also issued this morning, authored by journalists who, it should be mentioned, were given complimentary previews of the Starcruiser, though not full-fledged free stays at the hotel. They are mostly positive, however several express reservations about whether the experience will be worth the exorbitant price tag for paying guests. (A four-person "cabin" costs about $6,000 for a two-night stay, without including travel or time spent at any of the other Disney theme parks before or after your journey on the Starcruiser.)
Nerdist has a comprehensive breakdown of what the full experience entails; they conclude that "if you love Star Wars and want to commit to this experience in full by wearing costumes, interacting with characters, and living your best Star Wars life, you'll enjoy yourself," but that "you will one hundred percent need to collapse into a pile and rest at the end" because your time on the space cruise is so jam-packed with activities. (They also said, "At the current pricing, I cannot see myself planning a vacation.") "I feel like I need a vacation to heal" from their Star Wars getaway, a CNN correspondent wrote.
CNBC claims “if you suspend your disbelief, embrace the story and participate without self-consciousness, this will be a trip you, and your family will never forget.” Meanwhile, Polygon praised the hotel’s cast, which remains in character for your entire stay, helping you take part in a series of adventures and missions, but noted that “the facility itself feels tiny, at times verging on claustrophobic.”
If you're interested in taking a vacation outside the planet aboard the Galactic Starcruiser — and who can blame you for wanting to do so at this point? — More information is available here.
