food IS a theme park
This month is HUGE for Disney World…do you want to know why?
It’s a BIG month for Disney World!
Well, we’ve got a new hotel opening, the start of an EPCOT festival, the return of some popular entertainment, and tons of other exciting events happening all around the property. March is gearing up to be very busy, so we’ve compiled a list of all the things you need to know about Disney World this month!
Planet Earth just ain’t doing it for ya? Need a vacation to a place that is out of this world? Gotta try that blue shrimp A.S.A.P.? Well then you’re in luck!
Galactic Starcruiser Atrium
We got to go on a media preview sailing on Disney World’s brand NEW Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. the Star Wars Hotel), and we recently went again on our own paid trip. We’ve brought you full reviews of it all — lunch, dinner 1, dinner 2, the space lounge, lightsaber training, the WORKS. Ready to take the leap and book a trip of your own to see what this is all about? Well, currently you can book reservations for this experience through September, but soon you’ll be able to book a little bit further into the year!
Are there Mickey waffles in space? What do fireworks look like from a starcruiser? Do I really have to participate in all of the antics with the characters? Why is the blue shrimp BLUE?! You’ve got space questions, we’ve got answers!
Star Wars Hotel
We initially got the chance to hop aboard the Star Wars Hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser) as part of a special media preview event. We then revisited the hotel during its inaugural sailing on March 1st. So basically we’ve become space EXPERTS. Considering the high price tag that comes with the experience, we know you’ve probably got a lot questions that you want the answers to before you decide whether or not to take the leap and pay to stay in space. We’re sharing the answers to those questions right here!
We’re going to infinity and beyo…oh wait wrong space movie. Let’s try that again — for the first time EVER, guests visiting Disney World can travel to a galaxy far, far away for a 2-night immersive experience onboard the ✨fanciest✨ starcruiser there is!
Galactic Starcruiser
That’s right, we’re talking about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! This first-of-its-kind hotel plops guests directly into the middle of a conflict between the First Order and the Resistance where they get to choose their allegiance in the 2-night part escape game, part murder mystery-style experience. But, if you’re not in the camp that LOVES Star Wars, will you find yourself regretting every single cent that you spent to stay there? Probably no, but maybe yes. Let’s explain.
Disney is charging $5,000+ for two nights at their new Star Wars hotel. Can the experience possibly be worth it?
The Sublight Lounge
We’ve visited Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser both as guests of the media event and as paying guests on the inaugural sailing. Now, we’re using all of our expertise and research to answer the question everyone has been asking: Is Disney World’s Star Wars Hotel worth it?
Disney World’s Star Wars hotel — the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — has been criticized for its hefty price tag of almost $5,000 for a 2-person, 2-night vacation.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Well, we’ve been to the Star Wars hotel, and we experienced everything from the food to the character interactions to the lightsaber training. With Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser starting its inaugural sailing TODAY, you might be wondering what are guests ACTUALLY paying for when they drop the five grand+ for their stay — so, let’s talk about it!
The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, AKA the Star Wars hotel, is about to officially open in Disney World — and we have a complete guide on everything you need to know.
Atrium
One of the things we were most curious about on the ship was the food (duh!). We were able to try every single thing offered on the ship, and have brought you full reviews of breakfast, lunch, dinner, the snacks, and the lounge! While dining on this space food, we discovered an item that was surprisingly familiar…something unexpected, but very welcome while traveling around the galaxy.
