My husband and I went on a two-night “voyage” at Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
-
For $5,200 we got multiple meals, special Lightning Lane passes, character interactions, and more.

The Disney World hotel was worth the price for its food, great character interactions, and more.
A stay at Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is expensive — but, as a professional travel advisor who recently stayed there, I can confidently say it’s worth it.
The Starcruiser hotel is Disney World’s newest immersive experience that’s more than just a place to stay. It has special food and entertainment, and guests become part of the storytelling. Each two-night, three-day stay is geared toward people of all ages.
I booked the Starcruiser stay as a Christmas gift for my husband who has been a Star Wars fan since he was young.
Here’s what was included in our trip, plus the add-ons we could’ve chosen from.
There are a few types of cabins, but we stayed in the standard one
We stayed in the standard cabin since it was just my husband and me.
Our room came with a comfy queen bed, bunk beds, bathroom, mini table and chairs, closets with a safe and soft robes for us to wear, a split bathroom, toiletries, and a “window” that looks out into “space.”
I loved stargazing out of that “window,” which seemed to be a screen, as I fell asleep each night. It was so soothing and relaxing.
There are 100 cabins and suites in total on the ship. There are standard cabins that can sleep up to five, galaxy-class suites that sleep up to four, and grand-captain suites that sleep up to eight.
All dining is included with the stay and we had multiple meals and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks
The Halcyon feeds you and they feed you well.
All of the dining comes with the cost of your hotel stay and most takes place in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room.
On day one, we got lunch, snacks, and dinner.
On day two, we got breakfast, lunch, snacks, a quick-service dining credit (includes entree and drink) for each person to use on the Batuu excursion, dinner, and a dessert buffet at the end of the night.
On the third day, we could choose from a breakfast buffet or a to-go boxed breakfast.
Non-alcoholic drinks are included and unlimited with all meals. My favorite was the blue “milk” and green “milk,” which can be ordered at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where one cup usually costs about $8.
I filled up a to-go cup with “milk” every time I left the Crown of Corellia Dining Room.
Alcohol and other specialty cocktails in the Sublight Lounge, the bar on the “ship,” are an extra charge.
Overall, the Starcruiser served the best food I have ever eaten on Disney property, which is huge coming from a total Disney foodie like me.
Everyone received Databands, which are special MagicBands
Databands are exclusive to the Starcruiser and each person receives one to use during the stay.
These Databands connect you with your data on the “ship” (as MagicBands do in the park). They allow you to use simple taps to unlock your cabin, participate in side missions, and more.
Since you get to keep them, you can use them on future trips to Disney World.
The character interactions and performances were on a whole other level
