According to calls placed to the reservation center, Walt Disney World's new immersive galactic experience, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, is now taking reservations beyond the initial launch period that ends in September.

Some of Disney's exclusive guest tiers, including Club 33 members and Golden Oak residents, can now make bookings during October 2022 for Walt Disney World's Star Wars hotel adventure.

The latest Galactic Starcruiser availability calendar shows The Halycon fully booked for March and April and limited dates available in June. July, August, and September remain mostly available.

Opening March 1 2022, a visit on the 100 cabin luxury Halcyon starcruiser invites guests into a two-night, interactive story that interweaves with crew members, other passengers, droids and some familiar Star Wars characters such as Rey, Chewbacca and Kylo Ren.

Pricing for a 2-night trip aboard Disney's starcruiser experience is around $6000 for a family of four but can be much higher depending on options chosen and the category of cabin.

Although not quite a Star Wars Galaxy's Edge hotel as some fans had hoped, the experience does include an excursion to Batuu inside Disney's Hollywood Studios, made possible by a transport ship that takes passengers to a dedicated entrance in Black Spire Outpost.

Starcruiser guests are given one-time entry to the two signature attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge through the Lightning Lane entrance.

I'm pretty sure the Imagineers of days past survived projects they worked on being killed. And there were alot of them, even well into development (Tony Baxter seemed to have the most)

You have to assume they are primarily using the support buildings adjacent to the main Starcruiser building? I wonder if this is going to be the DHS WDI field office for Monstropolis/RNRC to save them having to build demountables like they are at DAK and MK?

I bet the daily reminder that your project could die at any time really helps morale

It's openly discussed by cast members that it is now the home of Imagineering Central Florida.

"Disney has a history of abandoning things and letting them rot..." TAX WRITE OFF! (the same way when an apartment complex has an empty apartment, they get to write it off on their taxes)

They're not short of parking lot space.

The only chance they would ever have to turn this around would be to redesign it as an OT Mecca and market straight at gen X…which is where a lot of “Disney adults” lie. That’s it… They completely miscalculated why people go to Orlando: for all the stuff. To lock you in, charge you a fortune, and use pathetically bad source material was a doozy even by Disney hubris standards

It’s Disney, it’ll likely sit there completely untouched for decades. In 10 years an urban explorer will find their way in and be amazed that it looks the same as it did the day it closed, everything still intact, just covered in years of dust. Disney has a history of abandoning things and letting them rot until they find a way of monetizing the land again. (River Country, Discovery island, Life pavilion, etc).

Just thinking out loud but if there is ever going to be a relaunch of Starcruiser in any format I wonder if it would be around the time of Mandalorian and Grogu film next summer?

I think AT THIS POINT IN TIME with no announcements on what will become of the 'hotel', I think Disney should just cut their loses and demolish it. That will provide more land for expansion!

I'm forever thankful for this project, because it encapsulated everything that was and still is wrong with Disney's parks division circa 2016-2025. First from Bob Chapek, now from Josh D'Amaro. (Who turns out have the same failed leadership style, even if they have different tailors) The hubris, the cheap budget cuts, the heavy cringe, the 24 year old Comms interns writing press releases, the executive smugness, the blatant inability to tend to details, the brazen greed, the fine art of over-promising and under-delivering. Also the lobby line dancing... "AMAZZZZING!" All of it was just so wonderful to behold. I'm glad they gave this gift to us, and may we cherish it forever! :cool:
