Aerial photos show Disney World’s highly-anticipated Star Wars hotel taking shape

Aerial images released over the weekend show the progress that Disney World has made on its highly-anticipated Star Wars hotel that will take the form of a Galactic Starcruiser amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

In the photos, fans get a glimpse of the out-of-this-world hotel, which promises a first-of-its-kind holiday experience that will allow lucky guests to check in for a two-night adventure ‘aboard’ a glamorous ‘starship’ called the Halycon.

The images were captured and shared by Twitter user Bioreconstruct who wrote: ‘Aerial look at the Porte Cochère of Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser [hotel]. One of the recent changes is the walkway at [the] arrow.’

The portion that the Twitter user is referencing is illustrated in an image with a small arrow denoting the walkway.

‘Cabins are in the section at left. Decks of the ship are in the show building at center. Guests will check in and be transported up the the ship for 2 days of adventure inside the Star Wars timeline,’ the user wrote. 

Guests at the hotel, which is located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will be offered an immersive experience that could see some Star Wars fans spend more time in the hotel than at the theme park itself. 

Those staying at the luxury hotel will be offered the opportunity to interact with characters and become active participants of their own ‘galactic journey’. 

A spokesman said: ‘This ground-breaking experience is unlike any resort experience you’ve ever seen.

‘From the moment you board your launch pod, it’s a fully immersive, multi-day Star Wars adventure aboard a luxury starship complete with high-end dining, space-view cabins and all of the exciting action you would expect from an authentic Star Wars experience.’ 

The construction on the hotel began last year (pictured). The hotel is being built behind the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land in Hollywood Studios in Orlando

Artist impressions show guests dressed in space-themed garments interacting with creatures that Star Wars fans will recognize from the movie franchise. 

Members of the Keshiri species, a near-Human sentient purple-skinned species native to the planet Kesh, the legendary Wookiee warrior and Han Solo’s co-pilot, Chewbacca, and a number of robotic creatures can be seen interacting with guests in the images offering a sneak-peek of what this luxury space adventure could offer. 

However, it is an experience that will come at a cost – insiders claim that a couple could pay around $3,200 for a two-night/three day stay. 

Bosses unveiled their plans at the D23 Convention in Anaheim, California for the hotel, which is expected to have 32 regular cabins and two first-class cabins per floor. 

The hotel is currently being built behind the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land inside the Hollywood Studios. 

According to a press release, the starcruiser will begin transporting visitors from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida ‘to a galaxy far, far away beginning in 2021’. 

It’s unclear if the plans to open the hotel in 2021 will be postponed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
