Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, Disney World's expensive cruise-like interactive LARPing hotel, will be closing for good later this year.
, you better make your plans soon. Today Disney announced that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the luxury immersive experience often referred to as “the Star Wars hotel,” will be closing for good later this year. Its final voyage runs from Sept. 28 to Sept. 30, ending the Starcruiser’s run at Disney World after only 19 months.
Despite routinely being called a hotel, Galactic Starcruiser is far more ambitious than a typical theme park resort. It’s closer to a theme park itself than it is a hotel. It’s the closest you can get to actually living in the world of Star Wars, with dozens of actors telling an interactive story that unfolds over a two night stay in an intricately detailed space.
Disney hasn’t said what it’ll be doing with the Starcruiser after it closes. It’d be a shame to tear it all down, but even without a large cast it might not be profitable to run it as a cheaper and more traditional hotel. Galactic Starcruiser had its fair share of critics even outside the expense, but hopefully Disney preserves some of what made it special, only in a more accessible form.
If you have a Starcruiser booking for after Sept. 30, expect to hear from Disney about changing your plans. If you hope to schedule a trip before it closes, note that booking has been suspended until May 26. If you’ve already been on the Galactic Starcruiser, congratulations on experiencing something very few people will have had the opportunity to do, and also congratulations on being rich and/or well connected.
