When Disney World announced the prices for the Star Wars Hotel, aka Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, many Disney and Star Wars fans were left in shock — sticker shock.
At almost $5000 for two people, it does seem like a lot of money, although that money will give guests a unique interactive experience unlike anything Disney has done before. But who exactly is the target audience here?
We think are the seven types of people who should consider a stay on the Galactic Starcruiser.
1. People wanting a unique experience
So as we mentioned, a two-night stay at the Galactic Starcruiser is not cheap, but if you’ve got the money to spend, you’re in for an experience you probably have not had anywhere else. This is going to be an immersive two-night adventure where guests will literally be part of the Halcyon’s story, and decisions they make during their stays will affect what happens onboard.
Guests will even have the opportunity to dress up and create their own characters. And let’s just say that the Galactic Starcruiser will take live-action roleplaying up a HUGE notch.

2. Massive Star Wars fans
It goes without saying that if you live, eat, and breathe Star Wars, you’ll need to book a stay on the Galactic Starcruiser. The experience will be one of the most ultimate things a Star Wars fan can do and, again, it’s unlike anything being offered elsewhere.
If you dream of putting yourself in the shoes of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, or any of the myriad of characters in the expansive Star Wars universe, Galactic Starcruiser is your chance to live out those dreams to the fullest.

3. Families who are into Star Wars
The beautiful thing about Star Wars fandom is that it transcends generations and many of today’s kids have been raised on the franchise by parents who’ve loved Star Wars since the first film premiered in 1977.
And these families have a chance to share that love together in a new way on the Galactic Starcruiser. This would be the ultimate family trip for families who celebrate their Star Wars love together.

If you love stepping into the shoes of someone else and roleplaying or acting, you will have EVERY opportunity to do so in the Star Wars hotel. And Disney has created a Star Wars story that you can jump into and out of, as you wish.
Galactic Starcruiser will be the ultimate Star Wars roleplaying adventure. And guests will be encouraged to take part as much as they want.

5. People who enjoy cosplaying
If you’re someone who loves to get into costume and take on a character, you’ll want to book some time at Galactic Starcruiser. Guests are encouraged to do just that during their two-night stay, so Star Wars cosplayers will be in their element.
So if you’ve got some Star Wars costumes in your closet, dig them out, and book your stay!

6. Guests who love interactive experiences
If you love escape rooms and murder mystery parties, the Star Wars hotel is just the kind of place you’ll find a lot of enjoyment. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with the story and its environment in a way that escape rooms and murder mystery parties have only dreamed of.
This also goes for those who enjoy playing Star Wars video games — here’s your chance to BE in a Star Wars video game.

7. People who go to Star Wars Celebration
If you’re a Star Wars fan who goes to every single Star Wars Celebration, you should think about booking a stay on the Galactic Starcruiser. You’re already a huge Star Wars fan, and Celebration lets you be around other fans, but the Star Wars hotel will let you be around other fans WHILE roleplaying a Star Wars story with them.
You will be among your people on the Galactic Starcruiser.

It sounds like Space Camp (Space Camp is a week instead of two days). At Space Camp we roleplayed Astronauts; we all died in the Space Station when someone accidentally opened the airlock, the repair manual for the satilite floatted into space because a crew member wasn’t holding on to it, and we got space sickness and trapped inside the Spaceshuttle’s malfunctioning airlock. All Ears Cast Members, please as soon as possible stay at the Star Wars Space Cruise Hotel to review if it lives up to the hype.

1) People who do not call it the “Star Wars Hotel”
It’s the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. Calling it a Hotel continues to downplay its intended function, makes the cost seems even more ridiculous than it is, and is as annoyingly incorrect as people calling the Wizarding World of Harry Potter “Harry Potter World”. It’s just wrong lol stahhhhpit. You don’t call Magic Kingdom “Disneyland World”, do you?
I’m at least a couple of those (but not the “disposable income” one, unfortunately). So, I’m saving my pennies!
My initial reaction is $5K for 2 days?? But in truth, all of us spend discretionary income in ways that might baffle other people. If you’re paying the bills and have extra money, why not? There are people that think going to WDW multiple times a year makes no sense either. I spent $25K on a motorcycle so I’m in that group too. Life is short, try to do what makes you happy once in a while and don’t feel the need to apologize for it.
