Disney announces new Star Wars hotel is on the way

Visitors to Disney’s Star Wars-themed land will now be able to spend even more time in a galaxy far, far away — in a themed hotel.

Visitors to Disney’s Star Wars themed land will soon be able to experience the new world for a lot longer — by spending two nights in a themed hotel that will be called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.

It is just one of the many new and updated attractions slated for the Florida resort announced over the weekend at Disney’s annual D23 fan convention in Anaheim, California.

D23 delighted Star Wars enthusiasts with the announcement of an entirely new experience for diehard fans of the movie franchise.

The launch of an immersive resort designed to be far more than a hotel will opens a new window for visitors, who will feel like they are on a journey in a galaxy far, far away.

Once aboard the Galactic Starcruiser, guests will live inside a launch pod for two nights during a stay that will include a range of Star Wars creatures.

A new Star Wars hotel: The Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida will invite guests to board the Halcyon.

According to CNN, once at the hotel, visitors will interact with an alien crew, learn about the ship’s navigation and defence systems and train with a lightsaber. They’ll also enjoy a “port day” at Batuu, the fictional planet of Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge land opening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando this week.

Aspiring Jedi warriors and Rebel princesses will have to wait to use the force for this outer space encounter because no opening date, nor any further details, have been announced.

It was also announced at D23, that Epcot Center, which debuted in 1982, will be divided into four neighbourhoods — World Showcase, World Nature, World Discovery and World Celebration — in a long-overdue facelift.
