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?
It looks like things are really moving forward with the Star Wars hotel because Disney is looking to hire someone to help lead this new experience! A brand new job was posted today (February 25th) on the Disney Careers website. According to the post, Disney is currently searching for a Hotel Services Director for Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser!

So, if visiting the hotel just isn’t enough, and you really want to LIVE, eat, and breathe the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience (and assuming you’ve got the experience required), you may want to apply to this position!

The job post doesn’t share any details regarding when the experience will officially be opening or anything like that, but we are definitely looking for any updates on that.
The 2-night immersive experience at Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is set to put you at the center of all the action. Guests will board a Launch Pod to reach the ship they’ll be staying at during this adventure, which is named The Halcyon. There will a few different passenger cabins aboard with views to space. Aboard the ship, you’ll spot familiar Star Wars characters, get the chance to navigate The Halcyon and operate its defense systems, train with a lightsaber, and much more.

Again, the experience is currently set to open in 2021. We are on the lookout for more details and updates and will let you know what we find!

With Disney Cruise Line as a mentor, and all of the premium guest service experience that has been gained thru their vast resort experience I have no doubt that you will be thoroughly Impressed with the experience on board. The weakest piece of the experience is the que and pre-que experience leading up to the front door. I was looking to be blown away in this area, but so far the front star cruiser entrance does not meet the Disney standard. I hope they address this area and fix it, or the trip up to space and back to earth could taint the entire package experience.
