Disney Parks Boss Josh D'Amaro hints at something coming to Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World

In a recent interview with The Points Guy, Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro commented on the future of the soon-to-close Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser.

In response to a question about the future of Starcruiser, D'Amaro said, "No hints yet, but something will happen."

He continued, "I know not everything's going to work. What did work, though, is we took creativity and storytelling to a completely new level, to a level that had never existed before. ... It didn't work commercially. And so, when we realized that, you just make a call and move on."

The final voyage for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will take place September 28-30, 2023, and has already sold out. Disney is contacting guests booked on the cancelled Starcruiser voyages and says it hopes to relocate Cast Members to other roles at Walt Disney World.

Carrying a lofty price tag of around $5200 for the two-day, two-night experience, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser launched on March 1 2022. After stronger-than-expected initial sales, Starcruiser bookings quickly stalled, forcing Disney to look to save costs and boost reservations.

Don’t worry. They’re washed monthly. Better than those nasty, starchy comforters people miss for some reason…yuck.
