food IS a theme park
Happy May the 4th Star Wars fans.

We have eagerly been anticipating an announcement for Disney World’s new Star Wars Hotel — the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — and now we have just that.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Disney announced that it would be building a Star Wars hotel experience called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The “Star Wars hotel” is more of a cruise-type experience where guests will stay aboard a “spaceship” for 2 nights and participate in all kinds of activities including lightsaber training, operating the ship’s defense systems, meeting Star Wars characters, and more. Reservations were set to open in 2020 (but they didn’t) and the hotel experience is set to open in 2021. But, if Disney does open the Star Wars hotel this year, a few things could go wrong. Today, we’re breaking that all down for you.
We’re anxiously awaiting more news on Disney World’s most anticipated resort, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser!

The new experience will be unlike any other Disney resort hotel, as guests will be aboard a “ship” (the Halcyon) for two days with only one port stop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, very similar to a cruise. Guests will be able to participate in interactive stories and dress the part throughout their stay. It sounds VERY unique and we anticipate many (including us!) will be eager to try it out. Problem is, progress has been SLOW! We decided to reach out to our followers to see what YOU think!
We got some HUGE Disney announcements recently.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
At Disney’s Shareholders Meeting, we learned that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie would BOTH be opening in EPCOT’s newly expanded France Pavilion on October 1st, 2021. And if ya missed it, we also got some important updates on Disneyland’s reopening and the Disney Cruise Line. But let’s rewind for a sec and talk about those RIDES!
Disney World is getting a hotel experience like no other.

We’re talking about the upcoming Star Wars Hotel, A.K.A. the Galactic Starcruiser. This experience is set to feel more like a cruise experience than a traditional hotel experience and will feature a personalized and immersive Star Wars story for guests to participate in. Now, we’re checking on the construction progress!
Disney World may be in a phased reopening from the closures in 2020, but there’s a full lineup of new dining locations across the resort on deck for 2021! In fact, a couple of those locations have already opened, with more (hopefully!) on the way!
Magic Kingdom
If you’re heading to Disney World in 2021 and you want to experience the latest and greatest in dining, we got you covered. Today, we’re ONLY chatting about restaurants that have opened or are scheduled to open sometime in 2021.
In the beginning of 2021, we learned about SO many new things in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth
We felt like January had a year’s worth of announcements in one month, but February looked a bit different! We had our fair share of big news, but mostly there were lots of little (and exciting) things that were announced this month. We’re taking a look at 15 new things we found out in Disney World in February!
Disney World had BIG plans for 2021 and beyond.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve seen loads of progress on some projects, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But others have gotten swept under the rug. What’s going on with Spaceship Earth, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and more? Here’s what we know about 10 Disney projects that are still up in the air.
One of Disney World’s most anticipated experiences is taking a BIG step forward!

Just yesterday we noticed that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the upcoming Star Wars hotel experience, is HIRING. This immersive accommodation is supposed to be a whole new kind of experience. Now, just after taking the BIG staffing step, we spotted another sign of progress!
If you’re looking a completely immersive Star Wars experience where you can truly live out your own Star Wars story, it sounds like Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel that’s not really a hotel) might just be the thing for you.

The hotel is currently set to open in 2021 and we’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on there. But, today a MAJOR new development has been spotted related to the Star Wars hotel. Anyone out there want to work in space?
