News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

There are many hotels with indoor pools that have no windows to the outside. Given the nature of the hotel as a two-day role-playing experience, it wouldn't surprise me nor disappoint me if they didn't have a pool at all.

I wonder if they’re going to go with projectors or flexible OLED displays.

I wonder how much more a planetary view costs over space view....

"Space View" will just be a piece of black paper with a bunch of tiny holes in it.

The connection to land will most likely exit guests via a ship since supposedly they are out in space and want to maintain the illusion of that

Or maybe something like this:

 

[surfsupdon]

Def not something I am interested in. Give me my water view. With a private balcony!!

But I am glad those that want this experience, get to enjoy something like this.

 

[networkpro]

Fixed that for you.

No you didn't. You failed to draw a line between aspirational and possible.

A hotel in Florida with no windows? Will the pool be indoor as well? Sounds smelly and claustrophobic.

They've got this new discovery called air conditioning thats suppose remediate humidity in enclosed spaces. I also hear there are actual spaces in some hotels that atriums that might be as high as several stories without intervening structures.

This is the only part that I don’t like. I understand the reasoning, but still am a bit concerned. I try to always stay in a hotel with a balcony, sometimes it’s not possible though..but typically those are in a city and have very large windows.
I could never do an inside or portal stateroom on a cruise.

BUT.. we’ll do this SW thing once. My hope is that it stays under $3k all inclusive for 2 nights. I think that’s the max I’d be willing to spend.

And probably the same set-up for the entrance to the new Space Restaurant.

When I saw the concept art for this it reminded me of that for the restaurant. I mean instead of looking at the "windows" the people are gathered round a console, but apart from that it's the same interior.

So if you can't afford the hotel you can " make do" with the restaurant experience

A hotel in Florida with no windows?.

My thought was to have a button to press that switches from your normal windows to bringing down blinds with the "space view". And a choice of views, so maybe the galaxy, a Millenium Falcon or what have you.

And then one for the lighting to change from "normal" to "immersive" feel.

I could seriously get into this whole design thing.....

 

[Kamikaze]

The only reason I brought it up was because of the fact that there still seems to be some debate on where the hotel would be built. I agree that building the hotel directly next to Hollywood Studios would be (by far) the easiest option (with regards to connecting the hotel to the park), but there seemed to be some insiders who were suggesting that it might not be built directly adjacent to the park.

The new statement still does not say the starship will be directly next to the park. Just that it will be seamlessly connected. Something like the Hogwarts Express is a seamless connection - meaning no breaks in the immersion.

I think you’re overthinking it

That would go completely against the whole immersive story they're going for.

If people want real windows, they have every other hotel in Orlando to choose from

 

[SteveAZee]

I'm wondering how 'egress' issues will be handled if the windows in each room are either computer monitors or windows to some combination of models and CGI. In the event of a fire (or any real emergency) there have to be exits anyone in the building.

Nope. I very much doubt the starship will be directly adjacent to the park.

Maybe. But that limits their ability to have upgraded views ....... like of SW:GE for example.

 

[imperius]

Can’t wait for all the windows to get the blue screen of death one day.

All the rumored spots for the hotel would only give guests views of the backside of the showbuildings

Windows above the first floor wouldn't be exits anyway.

This seems like something that I would do once.
