Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Launches in 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will take you to a galaxy far, far away for an all-immersive, two-night vacation experience that goes beyond anything Disney has ever created before. What exactly does “all-immersive” mean? Well, in honor of May the 4th, here’s a little hint…
Not sure if what you just saw is actually what you
just saw? Maybe you should watch it one more time. Or 10.
Yes, that’s a new type of lightsaber Rey is holding in her
hand, created by Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development. Guests who
experience Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be the first to see it
in action – along with so much more – starting in 2022 when this amazing
new two-night adventure debuts. Watching that lightsaber activate right before
your eyes will be just one of the countless ways that, from the moment you
arrive to the moment you depart, you’ll be plunged into a Star Wars story
where your decisions and actions – or even the casual conversations you may
have – determine how your personal journey unfolds.
Your adventure begins at the Star Wars: Galactic
Starcruiser terminal at Walt Disney World, where you’ll gather with fellow
passengers before departing for your intergalactic destination. You’ll soon enter
a special Launch Pod and leave your world behind as you make a hyperspace jump
to a galaxy far, far away.
You’ll watch through viewports as you approach the massive
and magnificent Halcyon starcruiser, which will be your home for the
next two nights. For a limited time, Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests can now see
a model of the ship on display inside Walt Disney Presents – another special
May the 4th surprise!
When the Launch Pod’s airlock slides open, you’ll take your
first step into a galaxy far, far away as Star Wars: Galactic
Starcruiser comes to life all around you. During your stay aboard this glamorous
ship, you may interact with an eclectic group of characters both familiar and
new, possibly including the starcruiser’s strong and charismatic captain, a
plucky ship’s mechanic and a galactic superstar who can captivate an entire
room with the crook of one jewel-encrusted purple Twi’lek finger.
This singing sensation will be a featured performer during
one of your exquisite dining experiences inside the Crown of Corellia Dining
Room, which you can see in this artist concept rendering we’re sharing today
for the first time. The enticing supper club’s name is an homage to Corellia,
the planet known galaxy-wide for its shipyards that gave us not only the Halcyon
starcruiser, but also the Millennium Falcon. The dining room is a
bright and welcoming hall that will offer breakfast and lunch to passengers before
transitioning each evening into a lavish multi-course menu of both otherworldly
and familiar origins.
As your journey continues, you’ll have the opportunity to train
in the ancient ways of the lightsaber, learn more about the inner workings of
the Halcyon starcruiser and even jump on a transport to the planet Batuu
to further your adventure inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This isn’t
storytelling – it’s storyliving, where you’ll see, feel and live Star
Wars in a whole new way.
We’ll have much more to share about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser in the future as we look forward to its 2022 debut; you can always visit starwarsgalacticstarcruiser.com for more details, and sign up there to receive updates.
And since it’s May the 4th, let’s check out a few
