Disney reopened bookings this morning for the final voyages aboard the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World.

The pricing for the two-day, two-night experience remains largely unchanged. Two guests can expect to pay approximately $5,000, while a group of four guests will have a price of around $6,000.

Current availability remains good throughout July, August, and September. The final voyage of Halcyon, launching on September 28, previously sold out.

Disney made the surprise announcement earlier this month that Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser would close after operating for just over a year.

In announcing the closure, Disney said, "Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment. This premium, boutique experience gave us the opportunity to try new things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and as we prepare for its final voyage, we will take what we've learned to create future experiences that can reach more of our guests and fans."

Carrying a lofty price tag of around $5000 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.

Most recently, Disney began canceling voyages in the summer that had very few bookings, moving guests to other dates with a 50% discount for the inconvenience. Disney also offered various discounts, including Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club deals.

Speaking recently, Disney Parks boss Josh D'Amaro said, "It didn't perform exactly like we wanted it to perform. Despite the fact it was a never before seen experience and raised the bar, we thought it was time to sunset this in September." According to D'Amaro, Disney will accelerate depreciation on the Starcruiser hotel by $150 million in both Q3 and Q4 2023.

It seems as though they are actively trying to go lower.

Before mating, Disney fans and Starwars fans were Pogues and Kooks. Now we are dealing with the unholy bastardized offspring.

Let me draw a line of delineation between LucasWars and DisneyWars fans. LucasWars had trite characters as exceptions, while DisneyWars has trite characters as the norm. We just thought JarJar was bad until Disney said "Hold my beer"

I think I learned from this year that senses of shame no longer exist in many people.

Rock bottom probably was when Chapek supposedly was in charge. Now is only slightly better than that.

Not a Star Wars fan, huh? Frequent mistake is believing Disney fans and Star Wars fans are the same circle on the Venn diagram… That’s a proven recipe for disaster

Translation - People had their own idea of what they thought it would be, and when shown what it was, they wouldn't give up their own idea of what they thought it SHOULD have been. The type of price point was known from the start... it's just most people didn't want to believe it and kept wanting to think it was gonna be a hotel.. and fretted over 'being stuck there'.

But that makes total sense… In the 80’s…sure kids started playing with toy xwings and makeshift lightsabers…but after a few minutes there was a mandatory pause to do the electric slide… Everyone knows that
