News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

I could see an in-character explanation for masks (be sure to wear your respirators- we have people from multiple planetary systems onboard!), but yeah, I think the relatively close quarters will make this a post-pandemic launch.

Like the respirator idea! Ha, Ha, Issue every guest a powered positive air pressure full face mask, that will add realism to the costume! Actually I agree that this will most likely be a post-pandemic launch, that is if common sense prevails.

The face shields on FO personnel on RotR actually add to the experience, oddly enough.

Interesting to me those Enterprise-D type windows on the side of the building at apparently 3 levels. I'm too lazy to see if the 'ship' has 3 decks in published plans. They plainly cannot be for viewing inside to outside. Maybe for fire code purposes?

This was discussed earlier in the thread and the consensus is that it is for fire code compliance. I believe we even found the relevant building code section with this requirement.

Hopefully the Olive Garden and Denny's are far enough north to be ok. RIP to Jungle Jim's, but that was a long while ago... Jungle Jim's Forever!

It will be interesting when it actually comes on line how the interaction of characters and guests will be conducted now that COVID19 protocols are in place, or, is the hope that all the need for protocols would have gone away by that time?

This will not open with COVID19 protocols in effect.

When it does open, I give it about 8 months before it turns into some sort of 4 hour escape room up-charge and the whole idea of overnight stays goes right out the window.

While I do think the whole 3 day 2 night experience will go out the window at some point and it'll turn into something shorter (and cheaper), 8 months seems way too short.

There aren't very many rooms. I think there are enough hardcore Star Wars fans and people just interested in a new concept in general to keep the place full or at least mostly full for years.

Actually, eventually, a modified one night experience is reasonable. It can be linked to on property resort packages.

There is a canal right there, what more do you want?

Gondolas. Space gondolas.

Closeup picture of the area where you will board the shuttle to GE. Interesting to note the pieces of metal labeled Jet Way. Looks like they are using the same technique as in the Smugglers Run to give you the feel of walking on a boarding ramp.

Netflix has a behind the scenes documentary on testing the Starcruiser shuttle.
