In this first of its kind experience, Disney is inviting guests to become the hero in their own adventure – and they can do it in whatever way they'd like. They will live aboard a "starship" for two days and two nights.

When they arrive at the Galactic Starcruiser at the Walt Disney World Resort (between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on their arrival day), guests will come up to a terminal – like a small, private cruise terminal. Note: Only registered Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser guests are permitted to visit the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Terminal or board the Halcyon starcruiser.

Valet parking is included with the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation package.

Guests will then be ushered into a launchpad – a small capsule – where they'll have a simulated experience of blasting off into space.

They can look out the window overhead until they eventually see the ship – the Halcyon – in the distance.

Once the capsule arrives at the Halcyon, the doors of the launchpad will open and guests will emerge into the atrium where the atmosphere will reinforce that they are on a Starcruiser.

Guests of all ages will be invited to participate in a variety of activities such as wielding a lightsaber while facing off against a training remote – so, the training guests have done will ultimately pay off.

Every guest will also be invited to take a tour of the bridge of the ship – the crew-only engineering room – where the navigation and defense systems are located where they'll get to discover the inner-workings of the ship's systems.

Throughout the voyage, guests will see, feel and live Star Wars, which includes the possibility of meeting heroes of the Resistance like Rey and Chewbacca, or encountering the malevolent Kylo Ren of the First Order. But the starcruiser also brings with it a host of characters new to the Star Wars galaxy, created especially for this experience.

The guest cabins are unlike any place you've ever stayed before. There are a variety of cabins to choose from one that sleeps 5 to one that sleeps 8 people. One option has bunkbeds that look similar to what we've seen Chewbacca sleep in and the window shows a view out into space.

Each cabin is equipped with a control panel of sorts where there is a Droid who can interact with you. The Droid will even tell you a bedtime story!

Each Standard Cabin is fitted with furnishings and fixtures designed to ensure comfort while traveling throughout the galaxy—including a pullout table and a TV with entertainment from your home planet—and a window with a view out into space.

When guests step inside Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, they are invited to play roles in a story of adventure and intrigue, becoming characters of their own if they choose.

An extensive merchandise collection offered onboard the Halcyon starcruiser enhances this role-play vacation experience, which guests can use to further immerse themselves in a galaxy far, far away.

And when the adventure on the ship concludes, a wide assortment of apparel, collectibles, home goods and more means guests can take a piece of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience home with them.

The Chandrila Collection

The Chandrila Collection, an exquisite boutique located just off the Atrium of the Halcyon starcruiser, offers a wide assortment of the galaxy’s finest clothing and accessories, which guests can purchase and wear during their voyage. Named for the Chandrila Star Line that operates the starcruiser in this Star Wars story, the well-appointed and welcoming retail location offers the latest in galactic fashion for both adults and children, from tunics to evening gowns and more, along with other Star Wars-inspired accessories and collectibles.

Apparel & Home Goods

• Guests can dress the part and extend their onboard stories with authentic fashion role-play apparel evoking Star Wars
  • Disney designers drew inspiration from the distinctive looks of Padme Amidala, Leia Organa and Alderaanian officials, among others, studying archived costumes from Star Wars films to create these new pieces.
  • Other apparel represents characters guests meet onboard the starcruiser, including outfits reminiscent of Captain Riyola Keevan and the ship’s mechanic, Sammie.
• To complete their transformation while in a galaxy far, far away, guests can purchase headwear to help them feel like an alien species, with Twi’lek “lekku” head tails or the striped, horned montrals of a Togruta.
• Premium garments and accessories featuring the ship’s logo are available in The Chandrila Collection; each item is perfect to wear while onboard or at home.
• Beautiful home and collectible items allow guests to bring back mementos of their onboard experiences, including glassware and a light-up model of the starcruiser.

Lightsaber Training Hilt and Shield

• Guests can spark their memories of Lightsaber Training aboard the Halcyon starcruiser when purchasing the Legacy Lightsaber Training Hilt and Legacy Reflective Shield.
  • Lightsaber hilts are customizable via an attachable letter icon in Aurebesh, the written language of the Star Wars
  • The Legacy Reflective Shield features lights and sounds and can cycle through different colors to match any lightsaber color.
• For younger travelers, toy versions of the training lightsaber and shield are available, complete with light and sound effects.

Droids & Toys

• During their voyage, guests are likely to meet astromech droid SK-62O, and they can purchase several products dedicated to this lovable and heroic new friend:
  • A remote-control, pre-built SK droid from the same R-series line available at Droid Depot in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge; all accessories from that custom astromech droid experience are compatible with the SK figure
  • A wind-up toy with sounds
  • A Droid Factory 3.75-inch action figure
• Guests can relive their Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser adventures with a die-cast representation of the ship or a larger toy model they assemble themselves.
• Playing sabacc in the Sublight Lounge is one of the popular activities onboard the starcruiser, and guests can re-create this experience at home with a special Chandrila Star Line edition of the game. The pack includes 62 highly detailed cards, two metal chance cubes (dice), and rules for two different versions of the game – Bounty Hunt and Coruscant Shift.

Galactic Starcruiser Terminal Shop

• When guests’ adventures through a galaxy far, far away conclude and they disembark the ship, they will be able to purchase commemorative Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser apparel, trading pins and more from a shop located in the porte cochere of the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal.
