If you’ve already saved up enough to pay almost $2,500 a night at Disney World Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, we’re sorry to bring bad news. A recent statement from the company on the official website confirms that the hotel will close soon. The experience will host its last guests from 28 to 30 September 2023..
The news came quite unexpectedly given the recent opening of Disney World’s Galactic Stracruiser in March 2022, just over a year ago. Inside, the hotel gave us a fantasy inspired by the starship Halcyon from the Star Wars franchise. To access it, the company was selling us a package for two adults for two nights for $4,807.. If you also want to bring your child along, the price skyrockets to $5,999.
We are very proud of all the actors and imagination makers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to providing guests with a great experience on our remaining travels in the coming months. Thank you to our visitors and fans for making this experience so special.

So far, reports seem to indicate that this closure is due to a “business decision” on the part of the company. Luckily for them, there is no indication that this is due to poor visitor and consumer experiences. Actually, Galactic Starcruiser managed to collect the best reviews his guests in the history of Walt Disney World.
Disney aimed to attract as many fans as possible with their Star Wars-inspired hotel.
For its part, Walt Disney World Galactic Starcruiser is not just a hotel. This is an exciting experience that lasts at least two days, and in where we can find a high level of theatricality on the part of its staff as well as iconic characters from the franchise. In addition, among the daily activities you will find role-playing games in which you will feel like a star traveler and will be able to try out the company’s first “real” lightsaber.
Despite the success among users, Disney wants to focus on more affordable products. In a statement, they say that “this premium boutique gave us the opportunity to try new things in less than 100 rooms.” Nevertheless, they will use what they have learned to create new adventures “that can attract more of our guests and fans”..
In the end, while the Star Wars-inspired Galactic Starcruiser is a superb experience, is one that only a small percentage has access to from fans of the franchise.
If you still want to be part of the Galactic Battlestar at Walt Disney World parks, can you still book. The option is currently disabled, but the company is expected to implement it soon. In the meantime, they are working on fixing some refund and rebooking issues.
