News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

Here's a snapshot if someone did not get the AP email.

From an AP email I just received for an early booking window -

"Active Annual Passholders can be among the first to book and experience Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Take advantage of this opportunity to book during a special pre-sale window 10/7–10/9 for voyages 3/1–5/4. Limited availability."

I wonder if the local YouTube influencers will get a preview event to have a look around and sample the food offerings like is done for any new hotel opening?

I have no doubt.

I don't want to stay there, but I'm interested in visiting and eating an expensive meal there, like with Space 220. Hopefully, Disney will open that Crown of Something dining room for a fixed course breakfast to outside guests during the Batuu visit of hotel guests. (Fixed course so that they can get people out of there in time).

I very much doubt they will do that.

Try Space 220 instead.

Skateboarding.

Is a skateboard carryon or checked luggage for the "flight" down

I got a similar DVC email though I didn't get the AP one. They are giving us the right to be the crash test dummies. Unless, of course, the price is somehow less early on. I suspect it won't be

More importantly "get to do things before they stop or take them away"

It'll never be as nice as it is the first few months. That's why we're looking to book soon.

Event Recap – Architecture Institute Hosts Imagineering Presentation On Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

Last night the American Institute of Architects Los Angeles (AIALA) held a virtual presentation hosted by three talented Walt Disney Imagineers, as they discussed the highly anticipated upcoming immersive resort experience, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. The event featured Star Wars: Galactic S

• After concluding the presentation, the team took questions from participants and spilled some additional details like the “climate simulator” (an open-air space on the ship that will allow guests to step outside whenever they want or need to) and the intriguing concept that this may only be the first story told aboard the Halcyon, with the implication being that the experience’s overall narrative may evolve over time.

So many (silly) questions brought up here answered in one blow!

Who knew that the Fox acquisition would lead to a Home Alone Star Wars crossover.

What does this even mean? Injuring people with paint cans on ropes? Setting First Order officers on fire?

• There will also be “secret spaces” like the engineering room, where guests can “hack in” to the ship’s subsystems and crawl through tunnels into other areas. Later on, active participants may be invited back here for a story scene involving booby-trapping the ship “Home Alone-style.”

I dunno but Im bringing christmas ornaments for them to step on

I'm going to set booby traps for the guests who are coming on board temporarily for a meal while I'm on Batuu.

Then I'm going to drain the pool and enjoy the hilarity when people dive in.

I'd love to be a castmember with random jamokes thinking they're funny asking where the pool is. I'm sure it'll be great the first 500 times.

Yesterday, I heard a short story about the Starcruiser on the highest rated DC news radio station.

And I had to chuckle.

The teaser for the story was “Want to stay in the same hotel as Darth Vader? Details ahead.”

Then, in the story itself, they referenced the new WDW “Star Wars hotel” several times. Then they ended the story with an audio cut of Obi-wan’s “Use the Force, Luke!”

So, while the story probably accomplished Disney’s intended result (getting the word out to folks who don’t follow Disney news), it highlighted the challenge Disney will be facing in staying on top of their desired narrative, since the story used the word “hotel” four times, and referenced three characters you won’t actually see there.

So the early booking for DVC members information states that this is part of the Disney Collection and therefore at least one person must be booked using points. We have to wait until October 7th to find out how many DVC points this will cost. Should be interesting.

edit: I’m going to guess at 395 points per person.

This is disappointing. I get why they did it for the second Wish cruise which was DVC only. But this is just for a chance to book in advance of general bookings. We should be able to book at cash just like we can book early for general cruises.

So, it works like cruise bookings using DVC points, right?

I don’t know, I haven’t booked a cruise with or without points.
