Disney World is shutting down its $2,500-a-night Star Wars-themed hotel - from NPR
'A Star Wars-themed hotel at Walt Disney World is being shut down about a year after opening, the company announced.
The hotel, which is marketed as a two-night immersive experience, will take its last bookings Sep. 28 to 30. New bookings are being paused until May 26 to first accommodate those who made reservations after September.
“We are so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for Guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months,” Disney said. “Thank you to our Guests and fans for making this experience so special.”
The two-night packages start at about $4,800 for two people, and go up to $5,299 for two adults and one child and $5,999 for three adults and one child. Prices include lodging, meals and admission to Hollywood Studios.
Upon arriving, guests enter a launch pod to board the Halcyon starcruiser, stay in a room with a space view and are able to interact with the franchise’s characters throughout the ship.’
Did anyone on here go to it? What was it like? I wonder what they’ll do with it now, convert it into a new bunker hotel, or simply knock it down?
