Disney reopened bookings this morning for the final voyages aboard the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World.

The pricing for the two-day, two-night experience remains largely unchanged. Two guests can expect to pay approximately $5,000, while a group of four guests will have a price of around $6,000.

Current availability remains good throughout July, August, and September. The final voyage of Halcyon, launching on September 28, previously sold out.

Disney made the surprise announcement earlier this month that Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser would close after operating for just over a year.

In announcing the closure, Disney said, "Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment. This premium, boutique experience gave us the opportunity to try new things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and as we prepare for its final voyage, we will take what we've learned to create future experiences that can reach more of our guests and fans."

Carrying a lofty price tag of around $5000 for the two-day, two-night experience, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser launched on March 1 2022. After stronger-than-expected initial sales, Starcruiser bookings quickly stalled, forcing Disney to look to save costs and boost reservations.

Most recently, Disney began canceling voyages in the summer that had very few bookings, moving guests to other dates with a 50% discount for the inconvenience. Disney also offered various discounts, including Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club deals.

Speaking recently, Disney Parks boss Josh D'Amaro said, "It didn't perform exactly like we wanted it to perform. Despite the fact it was a never before seen experience and raised the bar, we thought it was time to sunset this in September." According to D'Amaro, Disney will accelerate depreciation on the Starcruiser hotel by $150 million in both Q3 and Q4 2023.

Concertina / razor wire strung on a 7 - 10-foot-high chain link fence around the building would give it the correct esthetic.

Hopefully the Tiana crew will do some time.

Just make sure the newly configured spaces have two or three of the narrow windows into one room.

The Imagineers will not be released from the Star Cruiser Correctional Facility until they have destroyed and replaced ROA with Cars.

Do we know if employees are being assigned there or sentenced? Looks very penitentiary-ish.

We KNOW Disney LOVES losses on paper. They treat write offs like income ;)

Sirwalterraleigh18 days ago

No I think they can maybe write off the partial demo now of the interior and maybe the retrofit as part of the “loss”? Who doesn’t love loses on paper?

You mean they got WDI to foot the bill for the demo.....
