FULL REVIEW: Is the Captain’s Table Worth the EXTRA MONEY at the Star Wars Hotel in Disney World?

By 5 Comments

Want to take your Star Wars Hotel experience to the NEXT LEVEL? Want that VIP-style treatment? Want to sit at the center of everything and get access to an exclusive experience? Get ready.

Galactic Starcruiser

There’s a lot about the new Star Wars Hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) that already feels very exclusive. First of all, there’s the big price tag that comes with a stay there, making it an exclusive experience in of itself. And some special experiences onboard like lightsaber training, Sabacc tournaments, and the perks guests get on Batuu, make it feel even more special. But there’s one experience that actually is quite exclusive since only a handful of guests staying at the Star Wars Hotel will get to experience it each night at the hotel. We investigated to see if this bonus experience is worth the extra cost and whether you should add it to your itinerary if you’re visiting this new hotel. [Read more…]

How the Fireworks Will (and Won’t) Surprise You at the Star Wars Hotel in Disney World

By 3 Comments

Hold up. Does Tinker Bell do her fireworks flight in OUTER SPACE?! Spoiler alert: NO. Space is full of a lot of things, including Jedi, bad guys that go by a variety of names, lightsabers, and blue shrimp. Another thing space has apparently is fireworks! No, really. Now, you won’t find Tinker Bell floating down and you won’t be singing along to a Disney princess tune, but there are fireworks…in space…in an indoor hotel with no true windows to the outside (with some exceptions). So how exactly can an indoor hotel have a fireworks show? Well, you’re about to find out!

Star Wars Hotel Atrium

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars hotel) is Disney World’s newest hotel (opening soon) with a uniquely immersive 2-night experience, kind-of like a cruise ship. Before our trip, we were able to take a look at the hotel’s itinerary through the Play Disney Parks App, and we noticed a few experiences that included a “special pyrotechnic display.” So, what exactly does that mean? Come with us to see what fireworks look like in space!

Well, in all likelihood, you’ll be paying somewhere in the thousands for a stay at the Star Wars Hotel. So just what are those rooms like?
