So…Does This Mean We Have To Wait 2+ Years for Disney to Talk About This Glaring Hotel Problem?

Were you ready for all those announcements at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event that Disney dropped??

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

We were blown away with all the updates and brand new announcements that we got on future films, the things coming to the theme parks, and Disney Cruise Line! Even though we definitely got more than we thought was coming, there one specific thing we didn’t get ANY information about! So let’s talk about it!

So, as we were saying, Disney dumped a whole heap of new projects and updates on us during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and we were here for it all! To be honest, most of us are still buzzing from all the news and excitement. That being said, there was one thing that we were hoping for some kind of news about (really anything at all). We’re talking about the Galactic Starcruiser, aka the Star Wars hotel. You know, the one that shut down last year (September 30th, 2023). But guess what? There wasn’t a single peep. Not even a hint. So, what gives?

Let’s rewind a bit just in case you’re not familiar with the story (or living under the same rock that I’ve been under too). The Galactic Starcruiser was supposed to be an epic, immersive Star Wars experience that would be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

You can imagine living in a galaxy far, far away, mingling with characters, and maybe even joining the Resistance or the First Order (no judgement here).

But in reality, it turned out to be a bit more complicated than that. It’s probably fair to say that high prices and mixed reviews led Disney to make the decision to close it down not too long after it opened.

Now, when Disney decided to pull the plug, they left us with a lot more questions than answers. For instance, what’s going to happen to that space? Will it be reimagined into something new? Or, maybe, they’ll bring the Starcruiser back after making some much-needed tweaks? Well, we’d been waiting and holding onto the hope that Disney would clue us in at D23. Instead, we got nothing.

I mean, on one hand I get it. At the moment, Disney has a lot on its plate. With all the new movies, park expansions, and more, it’s easy for a project like the Starcruiser to slip through the cracks.

So yeah, we’ll continue to wait for any info and hopefully it won’t be another 2+ years before we hear any updates from Disney about it.
