It’s T-minus three weeks and counting until the general launch of Walt Disney World’s “Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.” Billed as “going beyond anything Disney has created before,” the innovative two-night vacation experience will take flight March 1, inviting guests to “become the heroes” of their own Star Wars story.

Participants may embark in Orlando, but they will soon “travel” to a galaxy far, far, away aboard the glamorous Halcyon starcruiser, staying in well-appointed cabins, experiencing out-of-this-world dining and entertainment, visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more.

Meanwhile, throughout the voyage, guests’ choices will affect how their individual stories unfold as they interact with characters, crew, and other passengers they meet and become part of the action and the broader Star Wars saga.

Launch

• The experience begins when guests arrive at the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal at Walt Disney World and check in for their two-night experience.

• Guests will enter a Launch Pod to begin their Star Wars journey. Through viewports, they’ll see themselves leave their world behind as they jump to hyperspace and draw closer and closer to Halcyon starcruiser.

• When the Launch Pod docks with the starcruiser and the airlock opens, guests will step into the ship’s main deck Atrium to begin their journey through a galaxy far, far away.

Experience

• A visit aboard the Halcyon starcruiser plunges guests into a multi-day, interactive story that interweaves with members of the crew, other passengers, droids, and familiar Star Wars characters such as Rey, Chewbacca and Kylo Ren. Guests may encounter the starcruiser’s charismatic captain, the ship’s plucky mechanic, or heroes of the Resistance, among others, as they choose alliances and chart their courses.

• Onboard activities include learning the ancient ways of the lightsaber and facing off against a training remote, where guests may discover their own connection with the Force; and visiting the starcruiser’s Bridge to learn about its systems and how to operate them, including a chance to try out the ship’s weapons and defense systems – skills that may come in handy later in the journey.

• Guests will dine each day in a supper club known as the Crown of Corellia Dining Room. The bright and welcoming hall offers breakfast and lunch to passengers before transitioning each evening into a lavish multi-course menu of both otherworldly and familiar origins.

• One night’s dinner will feature a live performance from a “galactic superstar who can captivate an entire room with the crook of her jewel-encrusted purple Twi’lek finger.”

• Stories continue to play out during a visit to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios, where guests will take special transports from the starcruiser to Black Spire Outpost for their planet side excursion to Batuu, and actions they take while on the planet may then have ramifications when they return to the ship, helping determine how their stories play out.

Fun Facts

• Each viewport in the Halcyon starcruiser – including those in each cabin – has a view of the galaxy beyond, featuring ever-changing vistas as the ship progresses from destination to destination.

• Guests will be able to explore the starcruiser and perhaps discover hidden spaces deep in the mechanics of the ship – perfect for uncovering secrets… or holding clandestine meetings.

• The Crown of Corellia Dining Room is named for the planet known galaxy-wide for the shipyards that created not only the Halcyon starcruiser, but also the famed Millennium Falcon.
