The Million Dollar Question: Are There French Fries at the Star Wars Hotel in Disney World?

By Leave a Comment

Ever since we first saw the picture of blue shrimp at Disney World’s new Star Wars-themed hotel, we have been intrigued about the food onboard the Halcyon (that’s the name of the Galactic Starcruiser ship).

Definitely bizarre

We recently stayed at the Galactic Starcruiser as part of a media event, where we made sure to check out ALL the food onboard. We ate that infamous blue shrimp, along with a scotch Meteor Egg wrapped in cake batter, a tube of Miso Soup in a cup full of salt, and several other dishes that were inspired by planets around the Star Wars galaxy. Some of the bizarre dishes were delicious, and others weren’t our favorite. But what if you’re looking for some “normal” food during your trip to space? Does that even exist on the Halcyon?

By 1 Comment

The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser has a lot of activities you can do while you’re on the ship, like playing sabacc, interacting with characters, or trying the fun drinks in the Sublight Lounge.

But, one of the activities that we’ve been the most hyped up about (as we’re sure other Star Wars fans have been, too) is the lightsaber training! We know we’re not alone in saying that we’ve wanted to wield a lightsaber (and actually FEEL like we’re using it) since seeing the movies years ago. Is there even a cooler weapon in cinema?! Well, we finally got to try out the lightsaber training aboard the Galactic Starcruiser, and we’re here to tell you if it’s worth the hype!

Everything You’ll Pay EXTRA For at the Star Wars Hotel in Disney World

By 1 Comment

You could be paying around $6,000 total for a single room at Disney World’s new Star Wars-themed hotel. So that cost should cover all possible expenses during your stay, right? Apparently not.

Galactic Starcruiser

One of the reasons a stay at the Galactic Starcruiser is so expensive is that it’s more like a cruise experience rather than a hotel. Most meals and activities onboard are included in the price. But not quite everything is included — let’s take a look at what will cost you EXTRA during your visit to a galaxy far, far away.
