A peek inside the new Star Wars hotel at Disney!

You've probably heard about the new Star Wars hotel that's opening at the Walt Disney World Resort, but we now have some details! This sounds like a really cool experience.

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to open in the spring of 2022, and will be set up similarly to a cruise ship; it's a closed system where guests will be completely immersed in a "Star Wars" experience. When you look out the "windows," you'll be seeing images of outer space. You can take lightsaber lessons, race a droid, or partake in many other themed activities. Bookings for "cabins" will be available later this year for 2-night stays. and include meals, tickets to the parks, and valet parking. When you arrive, you board a "launch pod" that takes you to the ship. When it's time to go the parks, there's transit directly to Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios.

I'm not gonna lie: the price structure is pretty steep! Priced vary by date, room type, and number of guests per room, but here's an example price structure:

• 2 guests per cabin: $1,209 per guest per night or $4,809 voyage total
• 3 guests per cabin (2 adults, 1 child): $889 per guest per night or $5,299 voyage total
• 4 guests per cabin (3 adults, 1 child): $749 per guest per night or $5,999 voyage total

There are 100 cabins on board, and guests can choose from tiered amenities. The Standard Cabin is the "base," with Galaxy Class being mid-level, and Grand Captain Suite being the upper class room.

Disney has also outlined a sample itinerary for a 2-day stay aboard the Galactic Starcruiser.

Sounds really cool, but definitely something most of us will have to plan ahead and save up for. I love the idea that you live aboard the "ship" for 2 days and get to feel completely immersed in the world of Star Wars. Disney is really great at making you feel like you've been taken out of the real world and placed into their fantasy world, so I'm sure they've been really thoughtful about all the details. I'd love to see it in person! But reading the details, it seems like the only way into the Galactic Starcruiser is to be a registered guest, unlike their other hotels where you can just wander in and check out the common areas without a reservation.
