Watch Thread for Booking the Galactic Starcruiser?

[ofcabbagesandkings]

Apologies if a thread like this already exists, but just like a lot of us followed a thread over on the dining page for Oga's Cantina reservations when it first opened, just wondering if anyone has started a thread for when bookings for the Starcruiser open up? I signed up on the WDW page for email alerts but I know these boards are always faster!

So excited for this! If they can pull it off, this is the kind of thing you think would really make Walt proud.

I'd expect nothing to go forward until the vaccine or whatever is done, to have the full interactive experience. I just can't picture a diluted, 2020-esque version being the first taste.

I wonder if dreams unlimited travel will have a wait list

I would love to stay here when it opens......however the reported pricing will make it very hard to justify. And I also think that this will be one resort that you will NOT be allowed to resort hop too, but that is just a feeling I have.

It is NOT a resort in the sense of all other Disney resort hotels. It is a totally immersive all-inclusive Experience. Guests aboard the Hyperion will not be leaving the ship, (except for a shore excursion to Batuu) and no one will be visiting the ship.

The concept is cool (like a cruise, but online), but the pricing....yikes. I can cruise on DCL for less - and there isn't even a pool?!

I agree, the experience is completely unique and thus it will not be a resort in the normal sense. I treat it more like an on-land cruise experience.

I'm not even sure that thinking of it as an on-land cruise is an appropriate description (although that may be the easiest for people to relate to). We're truly talking about a totally new level of immersive experience - one that Disney believes can, and will, create a totally new type of entertainment and set them apart from others. Much like Disneyland ratcheted up the concept of theme parks by a couple orders of magnitude.

From all indications, the Galactic Starcruiser is one of Disney's top priorities - despite it being a pretty small project - in terms of both the number of guests that will experience it, and the revenue it will generate. But it's "demonstration" project that Disney is betting will reap ginormous rewards in decades to come.

I don't have any inside knowledge here, just my thoughts based on observations of Disney's behavior on the matter.

I'm sure they do - they will assign you a TA if you do not already have one whom will book it when they are able to.

Edit; from their website:
Please note that at this time Walt Disney World is only accepting new reservations through 12/31/2021. If you are interested in a quote for later than that please write to Future_Bookings@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com and we will add you to our waitlist for when your dates become available.

Hi Everyone
Does anyone know where I can get prices for this experience?
Thank you.

Disney has not specified pricing at this time. Scuttlebutt is that it will be in the neighborhood of $3000 per person for the 2day experience.

Reviving this thread because unless I am missing it, I am not seeing a newer one. Anyone else feeling a bit let down after seeing the pictures today? https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/sneak-peek-of-star-wars-galactic-starcruiser-cabin-shared/

Something about it just looks like a toy spaceship--kind of dinky and plastic--rather than lifelike. And those bunk beds do NOT look large enough to fit a twin sized mattress.

Lol - c’mon Disney, get this thing built before my kids outgrow those things.
