Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to Debut at the Walt Disney World Resort in 2021

Walt Disney Imagineering announced tonight that the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will begin transporting Guests from Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida to a galaxy far, far away beginning in 2021. This is a new type of immersive vacation that only Disney could create – a two-night, cruise-style itinerary where you become the hero of your own adventure in an experience that surrounds them 24/7 in Star Wars storytelling.

In a new artist concept rendering just released, you get a first look at what you  will see when they arrive for their Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation. The Galactic Starcruiser Terminal is where you  will begin their Star Wars experience! 

Whether you show up via personal vehicle, Disney transportation or by landspeeder, curb-side check-in prepares them to leave Earth behind, jump to lightspeed and begin their Star Wars story. From the Starcruiser Terminal, you will enter an exclusive launch pod for travel up to the Halcyon, the starcruiser in a galaxy far, far away. Through the pod’s viewports, it looks as though you are traveling through space to approach the massive ship that is much too large to land on any planet.  

A “spaceport of call” to Black Spire Outpost is included in the itinerary, where special passenger transports take you and your family to the planet Batuu (also known as the destination for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®).

To get from Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and back, you’ll remain fully in-story as you step aboard the transport ships designed specifically for this new immersive experience, which you can see in the artist concept rendering above, released today. It will connect you directly to a spaceport at Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, where the story you began in the starcruiser will continue and evolve while exploring the 14-acre land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
