Disney World is shutting down the Galactic Starcruiser, the immersive Star Wars-themed hotel that costs around $5,000 for a two-night stay. In an update on Disney’s website, the company says the Starcruiser will host its final guests from September 28th to the 30th.
“We are so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for Guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months,” Disney’s update says. “Thank you to our Guests and fans for making this experience so special.”
Disney’s Galatic Starcruiser hasn’t been around for long, as it only first opened its doors to guests in March 2022. The lavish hotel is modeled after the Halcyon in Star Wars, featuring highly detailed decor, interactive events, themed dining, and live entertainment spanning a two-night experience. But with a price of roughly $4,807 for two adults (or $5,999 for three adults and one kid), Disney doesn’t exactly make taking the stay very affordable.
There have been signs that the experience may have been struggling, however. In March, Disney announced that it would start scheduling two bookings per week in October, down from its typical three to four weekly bookings. With the Halcyon set to close in September, Disney won’t get the chance to make this change.
According to Disney, the company will contact anyone who has bookings on or after September 30th “to discuss your options and modify your plans.” The company is also pausing new bookings until May 26th while it takes care of affected guests. Disney didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
It’s been a pretty rough day for Disney. In addition to closing up the Galactic Starcruiser, CEO Bob Iger announced that the company’s canceling its plans to build a $1 billion development near its Orlando, Florida, theme park.
The move, which Iger attributes to “changing business conditions” in an internal memo, is likely a result of Disney’s feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Disney sued Florida last month, accusing the state of partaking in a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” after the company expressed opposition to the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. The canceled project also means that 2,000 Disney employees in California will no longer have to relocate to Florida, one of the reasons why workers staged a walkout last year.

If not do not bother it is really, really bad.
I think everyone on the set was either high or intoxicated
Except for certain shows, we typically don’t watch commercial TV.
I pay for satellite channels, so why watch the free ones?...................
The few shows I watch on commercial TV are recorded. So I fast forward past the commercials.
That would not pass Florida building codes.
But Disney was it’s own law at the time......................
Disney is now engaged in a new enterprise: Woke Wars. May the farce be with you.
Even spending that kind of money you were not allowed to record video or take your own photos.
Disney was charging extra to have someone else do this!
You stayed inside a windowless box.
The hotel failed because it featured only characters from the sequels, which are despised by a majority f Star Wars fans.
Nobody wanted to see Rey, Kylo etc. or that era .
They wanted Han, Luke and Leila. Storm Troopers.
But Kathleen Kennedy wanted to destroy Star Wars and she has done so.
Most of the attractions of the hotel were supposed to be in GalaxyS Edge for free.
The price was way too damn high. Less than 48 hours cost 6 k.
The quality of experience was poor and too many things were expensive add ones.
Disney is turning into a woke zombie enterprise at ludicrous speed.

Has zero to do with Florida feud.
The hotel was already shutting down weeks and offering discounts before the political situation
Truth is fans hate the sequels. This hotel was a sequel one
Star Wars is dead and the rat and Kathleen Kennedy killed it.
They also just destroyed the Mandolorian this last season.
No one gives a damn about the Acolyte or a new Rey movie.
Look what they’ve/Disney’s done to “Indiana Jones”...
Disney is dead. The first three Star War movies were simple fun if you liked that type of entertainment. Disney had to take over the franchise and after the 250th sequel it’s DEAD. Disney’s creativity is dead. It’s sense of wonder DEAD. It worships “DIE”, diversity, inclusivity and equity without any spiritual, moral or ethical center. Disney committed suicide.

Disney was murdered by slow poison..................
There aren't that many families that can afford to blow $5K+ for a 2 night stay. If they do, it is been there done that. I suspect cooperations that pay big bucks for retreats aren't putting up with the nonsense..
