Disney Seeking Actors and Singers for Multiple Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Roles

I'm curious did they realize that they need more staff (breaking guests into smaller groups to improve experience), or are the original hires not working out. I do think the actors and their ability to improve in galaxy is going to be the make or break aspect of the hotel.

Disney Wish Construction Update – Azipod Installation Time-lapse


Recently, Walt Disney Imagineering shared a time-lapse of the installation of both azipods underneath the Disney Wish‘s stern.

Unlike the current Disney Cruise Line ships, the LNG-powered Triton Class, beginning with the Wish will use azipods. Azipod propulsion is a gearless steerable propulsion system where the electric drive motor is housed within a pod outside the ship hull. Azipod units can rotate 360 degrees, increasing maneuverability and operating efficiency of vessel, while cutting fuel consumption by up to 20 percent compared to conventional shaftline systems.
