Instead of piloting the ship, Passengers are able to partake in "Bridge Ops" training. Currently, these concepts turned into droids participating as crew members, and lightsaber training solely on the ship for Passengers. Visitors would also be able to have lightsaber training and duels (an extension of the Jedi Training Academy in Disney's Hollywood Studios ) explore and pilot Star Wars spacecraft and go on "secret missions" personalized toward the visitors' experience. Chapek described the hotel as a "100% immersive" experience that "will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits." Some examples of the planned features included creatures and droids acting as certain hotel staff guests wearing Star Wars costumes and an ability to interact with features of the hotel as if visitors were really in the Star Wars universe. īob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, stated that the Star Wars hotel would be Disney's "most experiential concept ever" when it opens. A driveway connects the Starcruiser's main terminal to the Cast parking lot of Disney's Hollywood Studios. Valet parking is available for guests arriving in personal vehicles, with no self parking options are offered, or guests can use other means, such as ride sharing or a taxi. The hotel's direct entrance to Disney's Hollywood Studios is located between the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction and the First Order ship at Docking Bay 9 in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, though this entrance is for Starcruiser passengers only. On May 30, 2018, it was announced that the hotel would be located just south of Disney's Hollywood Studios, to the east of World Drive. Renderings also showed a lobby in the style of a Star Wars spaceship interior. The rooms contain full size bunk beds, a queen size bed and in some rooms a pull down to sleep a fifth guest in the style of Star Wars bunkers, with each room fitting four to five people. Early renderings of the project showed that the new hotel would be shaped like a Star Wars starship. The Star Wars hotel was originally scheduled to open in 2021 according to the Orlando Sentinel, but opened on Madue to delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. Īt D23 Expo 2019, it was revealed that the hotel would be called the Halcyon and would be a two-night immersive experience where all guests arrive and depart together, similar to a cruise line. The proposal was announced as part of the unveiling of 23 improvements and additions to Disney parks around the world. ĭefinite plans for the Star Wars hotel were first announced at D23 Expo 2017 in Anaheim, California. As a result of the survey, Disney decided to approve such a hotel, with a visitor experience based on the Star Wars storyline. In April 2017, Disney contracted the website Swagbucks to survey visitors in order to gauge interest in a possible Star Wars-themed hotel. The hotel accompanies the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge themed area in Disney's Hollywood Studios. With an opening date of March 1, 2022, Starcruiser guests begin their experience at the terminal located adjacent to Disney's Hollywood Studios, in the Epcot Resort Area of the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a Star Wars-themed 2-night live-action/role-playing choose your own adventure experience aboard a simulated cruise in outer space within the Star Wars galaxy.
