The Star Wars Hotel UPDATE That Might Change Your Disney World Plans

The Star Wars hotel at Disney World caused quite a stir when it opened in March 2022, but it’s dropped out of the public eye quite a bit since then. But if you were planning to book this unique experience in 2023, there’s a strange update that you should know about!

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Atrium

The Galactic Starcruiser is an immersive experience where guests check in for a 3-day, 2-night stay aboard the Halcyon. Included in the price of a visit is your hotel room, some unique space-inspired food, Star Wars-themed experiences, an “excursion” to Batuu (Disney’s Hollywood Studios), and more. We recently noticed a change on the Starcruiser’s website, and it might affect your upcoming plans to visit.

Although the Starcruiser was a hot-ticket experience when it first debuted last year, dates haven’t been selling out nearly as frequently now as they previously did. In fact, when we checked a couple of months ago, there were only a couple of sold-out dates for the hotel.

However, when we looked at the Starcruiser calendar today, there were quite a few more dates missing from the availability shown this summer! In July, the sold-out dates include the 4th & 5th, 12th & 13th, and 18th & 19th. In August, the sold-out dates include the 1st & 2nd, 7th & 8th, 15th & 16th, 19th & 20th, and 27th & 28th. And in September, the sold-out dates include the 4th & 5th and 12th & 13th.

It’s possible that these dates simply filled up very quickly (maybe there was a run on Galactic Starcruiser trips!), but it seems more likely that Disney has canceled some Starcruiser experiences because they weren’t filling up.

If you’re planning to visit this hotel in the summer of 2023, make sure you plan around those missing dates!
