Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser permit for set installation

Although construction has mostly come to a halt at Walt Disney World, permits continue to be approved, with the latest being for Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. 

The permit is for "Fabrication and Installation of Sets" and was signed May 13 2020, valid through to late January 2022. Of course, this does not indicate imminent start of work, and it isn't clear on the timeline of when the permit was applied for.

The contractor is Adirondack Scenic, who has done previous work for Disney including Frozen Ever After, Na'Vi River Journey and Morimoto Asia.

Disney had previously announced Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will open in 2021 following reservations beginning in 2020 - but that timeline has now very likely shifted as a result of COVID-19.

Maybe an odd question, will they provide guests with "Star Wars" type clothing to wear whilst on this ship/hotel? Or will jorts and tank tops be acceptable wear on a Star Cruiser?

I'm wondering if those permits were filed months ago and the city just now got around to approving them.

The date written on the permit is May 13th
odd they said that they changed the expiration to jan unlike a normal year expiration (id assumed maybe that's when they filed), maybe it was further along that we thought and wont cost that much to finish?
I thought It was a horrible and expensive idea originally... but now?
I guess it will work with social distancing, because I see it being low occupancy at its sell out point, but with whats going on in the world you might have it to yourself.

I still vote on it not opening before 2023

Right, as in approved on May 13, but could have been submitted months ago.

They have said that costumes will be provided. But I doubt they would forcibly hold you down and put it on you. 😉

No, I’m not referring to the date in the top right. I’m referring to the date near the bottom where Mark Kohl who is a WDI Florida based project management VP signed the document.

I bet there are people who would pay extra for that.

Ah got. Understood.

Interesting, looks like this one isn't dead yet 👍
Despite the “defunding“ news...I’m happy this one is going ahead. Seems like a very cool idea and could be the beginning of a new vacation experience. It’s not for everyone and that’s fine but I’m excited to see what they do. Hopefully I can experience it one day. The structure looked far along enough. Maybe work starts soon with these permits?

It’s possible they’re getting permits in place so that they can restart if & when they decide to. I wouldn’t take it as a green for go quite yet.
↩ replying to nickys
I understand that, but surely it gives more possibility that this isn’t one of the abandoned projects.

I was just coming to post about this...

Getting permits ready would make sense, but what we call a permit is actually a notice of commencement which is a simple document saying that work is about to being. Don't see any reason to file that ahead of time.
