The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Hotel in Disney World will be the first fully immersive Disney hotel experience! And, you won’t even BELIEVE the sheer size of all the things that will be available to guests.
We’re talking real lightsabers, dining experiences from around the galaxy, and even interactions with fan-favorite characters and crew members! While the hotel has been delayed for a projected opening in 2022, we’ve got MORE updates on its progress!
Recently, @bioreconstruct tweeted pictures showing an overhead view of the construction on the site for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Hotel. Along with the construction on the experiences and cabins available to guests, you can take a look at the excursion shuttles that will transport guests to Batuu during their stays.

Guests who visit the Galactic Starcruiser will have the opportunity to head to Galaxy’s Edge as part of their immersive experience. The excursion will begin when guests board the shuttles to and from Disney’s Hollywood Studios to keep everyone fully focused in their adventure. The transport area will actually be inside a bus surrounded with screens that make the movement seem like a flight simulation.
