Disney teases what’s to come after Galactic Starcruiser closes

The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser will permanently close soon. Disney teases what’s to come.

Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Canceled

In a shocking announcement, Disney confirmed the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser will take its final voyage September 28-30. It opened in early 2021 but has not been able to keep rooms occupied due to its high price and very specific audience.

What will Disney do with this empty hotel and immersive experience now? While it will likely be a few years before anything comes to fruition, it is fun to speculate what will take its place. We looked at a few possibilities in this post.

What’s to come?

In a recent interview, Josh D’Amaro talked about the canceled project and what (if anything) will come after it.

D’Amaro said he’s always pushing the park designers (known as Imagineers) to take risks and not be afraid to try something new.

“Raise the bar. Try things that the guests aren’t even asking for because they don’t know to ask for that,” he says. “I know not everything’s going to work. What did work, though, is we took creativity and storytelling to a completely new level, to a level that had never existed before. … It didn’t work commercially. And so, when we realized that, you just make a call and move on.”

So, what will become of the hotel after the last guests check out in September? “No hints yet,” D’Amaro says, smiling, “but something will happen.”

It’s pretty clear Disney already has plans in motion to replace Starcruiser with something. We will keep you updated on what they may be!
