There are many things in Disney World that have come and gone over the years.

Some of them we really miss, while others we don’t think about often. However, we haven’t seen a huge closure super recently, but that’s about to change in less than 2 months because Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser is about to close.

Disney World introduced the Star Wars Hotel, aka the Galactic Starcruiser on March 1st, 2022. This is a 2-day, 2-night fully immersive experience that is really better compared to a cruise than a hotel. The whole experience and story (in which you can choose to be as immersed as you’d like to be) take place inside the hotel, with the exception of a day outing to Batuu in Hollywood Studios.

However, after just over a year of being in operation, Disney announced in May 2023 that the popular attraction would be closing. Its final voyage is September 28th-30th, 2023, and then it will be closed permanently.

While we don’t yet know what this building will become, Disney executives have shared what went wrong with the hotel, and most of it boils down to cost. The hotel cost THOUSANDS for one family to experience, and many people just couldn’t justify that cost. However, the hotel itself also costs an immense amount to run, thanks to all the amazing live entertainment that made the experience what it was.

While we’re sad to see the Galactic Starcruiser go, we’re not totally surprised that it wasn’t sustainable. While the final reservations did sell out, the price was just too high for many families, meaning that there was a much smaller group of people who were able to afford this experience, and since Disney couldn’t afford to lower the price, here we are.

So if you’ve got a reservation for the last few voyages, be sure to take it all in. If you want to experience it all virtually, we’ve got a whole video about our experience you can check out instead! And as always, be sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news.
