News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[Lord Starwalker]

I heard ( from a gondola operator) that it is being moved to the MK where the theatre was going to be.

Good one!

Of course the Star Wars hotel is not cancelled. If it was cancelled why would Disney have released new information and media about it at the D23 Japan event?

 

[Lord Starwalker]

If demand dropped off they could, as others have said, change it so the "in depth" role playing happens at weekends, whilst other days it opens to others who just want to stay in a themed hotel.

After Disney revealed the location of the Star Wars hotel and the fact that it will be seamlessly connected to SW:GE, it's obvious that there is way more going on here than theming and role-play. The missions that guests will have an opportunity to go on will no doubt be guided excursions into the park. If you have ever gone on one of the private tours or VIP experiences than you know how this works already. If this is the case, then we can also assume that there will be exclusive experiences/areas of the park that only guests on missions will have access to.

So, I imagine that the price for staying at the Star Wars hotel will include the CM guided tours (missions) and access to exclusive experiences.

Well maybe not officially, but they must be building it very near the park. What else could this new construction next to SW:GE be?

All documents we have seen and the most recent SFWMD permits show this construction being for the redesigned and expanded parking lot.

I wish i would be able to afford to do the full star wars package, the price will be unbelievable.

Put me in the camp that thinks the phrase "seamlessly connected" was chosen with care. If it was going to be fully "inside" DHS, I think they would be trumpeting that fact. My guess is something analogous to the Hogwart's Express between the Universal parks; a sealed vehicle that is in a themed environment where you board and disembark. For example, a smaller version of a Jawa transport.

Of course this is the same company that 'seamlessly connected' a desert in Tunisia with Death Valley and Elstree Studios in the U.K.

I agree, if it were "in the park" (so to speak), they'd be touting that, IMHO.

Does any one think it may be being built already? The buildings being constructed look awfully big. Could it be part of the current construction of one of the ride buildings?

No. The currently buildings more then account for what will be in them and they are the same size as Disneyland which is not getting a hotel.

No railing on the top bunk? I'm calling the Galactic Division of Family Services.

Whining by those who oppose the gratuitous use of video screens in 3... 2... 1...

I wonder how Disney will handle doors in this hotel... Most sci-fi movies/shows have the doors that slide to open. That would be very expensive to implement in a hotel. But... wow! If they are able to do this...

Obviously they'll have a underpaid CM that is supposed to stand in the wall to pull the doors open. I expect the following to happen.

Those pillows look comfy.

I'm wondering which voice actor they'll get to make the door noises... you know, the "sssshooook" sound...

Railings are frowned upon in the Star Wars universe...

Real talk, y'all, this look fantastically themed which I love, but those rooms don't look comfortable at all.
