food IS a theme park
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel) has been open for over a year but things have changed here over the past few months.

We’ve seen a major change made to the number of voyages offered, a HUGE discount announced for Cast Members, and more. But now we’ve got another Star Wars Hotel update!
Disney World is full of unique experiences you just can’t find anywhere else.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Atrium
One of those experiences opened last year — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — and has been transporting guests to a galaxy far, far away ever since. But, it looks like something has changed about voyages on the Starcruiser, and we’re taking a look at what we know.
Last year Disney World opened its most unique hotel to date — the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
This new resort is like living inside of a Star Wars movie, but if that movie were acted out on a cruise ship. The two-night experience includes your meals, your lodging, and 45 hours worth of interactive story elements that you can explore, but the big thing deterring guests from booking is the price. It’s a pretty hefty cost, but now there’s a new way for select guests to save!
So not a lot of us will have the opportunity to check out the amazing adventure that is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, which we call the Star Wars Hotel, but it’s really SO much more.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The 2-night interactive adventure takes guests to a galaxy far, far away for an interactive experience that puts them in their own Star Wars adventure which plays out differently depending on the decisions they make. The experience also boasts some fantastic visual effects (a “real” lightsaber). Now, Walt Disney Imagineering has been recognized for its work on the Galactic Starcruiser and more.
Back in March 2022, Disney World opened the first-of-its-kind Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.

The resort is more of an experience than a hotel, a space where guests can dress up, step aboard a “starship,” and live out their own interactive Star Wars stories. It was a very cool concept, but many people were deterred from trying it due to the hefty price tag that came along with it. Now, less than a year later, Disney is offering the FIRST discount on the experience!

The Walt Disney Company is known for its entertainment across its parks, streaming, film, and more. Part of the way Disney stays so dominant in these industries is through constant innovation, keeping itself on the cutting edge of technologies. We see all kinds of technologies utilized in the theme parks regularly (Shaman animatronic, we’re looking at you!), but we’re set to see WAY more mind-blowing innovations in the years to come.
If there’s one thing you should know about Disney World, it’s that there’s almost always something new to see or do.
EPCOT
Last month alone, the remaining EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths opened, the new BoardWalk Deli opened, and we attended the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party since 2019, plus more. In addition to new things to see and do, there’s almost always something new to learn about Disney World, as well. So, without further ado, let’s get into the biggest things we learned at Disney World in August.
When it comes to food, we’ve had quite an exciting month.
Snow White Mini Petit Cake
Not only have we been able to start trying all the Halloween treats in Disney World, but we also got to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. PLUS, we also got try out some princess-themed treats for World Princess week. ALL the food. However, August also brought some changes to Disney World restaurant menus.
We’re pretty passionate about Disney food, if ya didn’t know.
Things are changing at Tusker House Restaurant soon!
Whether we’re eating every single princess-themed snack for World Princess Week or trying out every single Halloween treat, including the snacks at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we are always ALL about the food. We also keep an eye on Disney World restaurant menus so you can stay updated on any changes.
