So not a lot of us will have the opportunity to check out the amazing adventure that is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, which we call the Star Wars Hotel, but it’s really SO much more.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
The 2-night interactive adventure takes guests to a galaxy far, far away for an interactive experience that puts them in their own Star Wars adventure which plays out differently depending on the decisions they make. The experience also boasts some fantastic visual effects (a “real” lightsaber). Now, Walt Disney Imagineering has been recognized for its work on the Galactic Starcruiser and more.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is nominated by the Visual Effects Society for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project.

Walt Disney Imagineering posted about the nominations on Instagram, congratulating the Imagineers who worked on the projects
The awards ceremony is on February 15th, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for any and all awards Disney may win. In the meantime, congratulations to Walt Disney Imagineering for the nominations.
GIANT!
We’ve always known about how Disney always pushes the boundaries of innovation and technology: we most recently got a MASSIVE Hulk for a meet-and-greet in Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure (a HUGE feat for Imagineers) PLUS some amazing effects for Disney World’s newest ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We’re also looking forward to what the upcoming TRON / Lightcycle Run attraction has in store.

Star Wars hotel can’t get people to book and they are canceling some of their “cruises.” They need to integrate real cruise like activities–such as an indoor pool deck with a projected outer space ceiling, spa treatments, multiple restaurants and experiences. Rooms are a failure–small, 3-4 adults can’t sleep in them. Bunk beds are for small children. Should be cheaper than the Disney Cruise Line.
