"Walt Disney World's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will make its final voyage this fall.

The first-of-its-kind immersive experience debuted in Spring 2022 with a starting price of $4,800 for two guests and just under $6,000 for four guests sharing a cabin for the all-inclusive two night adventure.

“Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment. This premium, boutique experience gave us the opportunity to try new things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and as we prepare for its final voyage, we will take what we’ve learned to create future experiences that can reach more of our guests and fans," a Walt Disney World spokesperson said in a statement to USA TODAY.

The final voyage will be September 28 through 30. In coming days, Disney will contact guests who had reservations booked for later dates about rescheduling or canceling their plans.

In the meantime, new reservation bookings will be paused until May 26."

oh my god, what?

I love, love, them burying this story under Lake Nona.

Anyway, Disney Instituting this was the most humane outcome. Can't fault them for trying something new, glad it didn't work.

Wow…instead of lowering the prices to make it affordable to a greater audience, they decide to just close it. I would have loved to have gone.

This sounded like a really awesome experience, and I think I would have really enjoyed the immersion of it. I love choose your own adventure kind of things. But with that price tag, it really priced out the people who would have kept this alive.

Honestly, this is a shock. Guess is just wasn’t profitable. Now we await the Defunctland video.

And it’s not even Friday afternoon.

No surprise. Just humble pie.

My exact thought. Just make it more affordable. It got pretty good reviews otherwise.

This has been an eventful hour for Disney Parks news.

Now what can they do with this purpose-built facility ? Will they build the pool now ?

Show of hands - Who else forgot this was a thing until they announced the closing ️

No surprise in the slightest. Writing was on the wall when massive discounts were being offered and trips were getting cancelled.

Let the Fire Sale begin!

Disneyquest all over again

 

[Surferboy567]

Wow, why couldn’t they just lower the price I would have loved to experience this. Wonder what happens to the building?

 

[lentesta]

Holy ewoks, Skywalker.

 

[WaltsTreasureChest]

They’ll never learn. But I’ll say this. “Haha”

Halloween store opens

If it wasn't making money with half the "voyages" at full price, how could it make money with more voyages at half price?
