Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser - any liners planning to book this?

I read this article and was just wondering if any liners are planning to go or have a booking at the SWGS resort.
I thought it would be booked solid for at least the first few months.
I would love to hear everyone’s opinion on the new resort and the why and why-nots surrounding their intentions to give it a try.

I think @hodg is booked already?

I’m booked for April. I’ve seen the negative views on the marketing videos, lack of mention in Christmas parade, etc. But I think this will be what you put into it. Go in with an intention of having a fun, immersive experience and saying “yes” to the fun and adventure, and it will be an amazing experience!

Yep we’re booked but it’s not until august so if the initial reviews are awful we have time to rethink. Think currently I’m more worried about being trapped in a large covid box but hope things will have moved on by the summer.

We will have ds18 who will just have finished school & about to head away to medical school if all goes well- has loved all things SW need since he was 4, been dying to build a lightsaber at savis but with 5 cancelled trips he’s having to wait & wait, plus ds15 who knew all his Jedi masters aged 4 before he knew his ABC (maybe a bad parenting admission).

So after 2 1/2 years of cancelled trips, we thought we’d splurge and treat the boys. Crazy amount of $$ for two days- it’s better be good!

I will be booking for May 2023, so I have some time to decide. I’ll be watching the reviews when real people start going through the entire experience. I’m hoping prices come down, honestly. :grimacing:

If I remember reading somewhere else…you are a cosplayer, yes? I’m definitely interested to hear your take on it…whether that makes it undeniably fun or that the non-cosplayers are wet blankets. Though in the end you can make your own fun, everyone else can kick rocks.

I was searching to see if there was a Starcruiser Liner list and found this. (I’m not sure how I missed it when it was posted). I’m heading out March 13th. Would love to meet up with any liners who might be on the same trip!

Legally, you are required to write a very full trip report, richly illustrated with photographs.

Sorry, but I don’t make the rules.

That was the voyage that I tried to book! Alas, it was not meant to be as they hung on me after 7, or maybe 9, I can’t/don’t want to remember, hours of being on hold.

Understood. I will comply. :laughing: We are also doing our very first Universal Orlando trip after the Starcruiser, so I eagerly read your recent trip for inspiration.

Oh no!!! I got super lucky with the Disney visa prebooking and also let my TA do the hard work. I was not expecting to get a trip so soon after opening (I just gave her a list of all the dates we could do it) and so it was a bit of a surprise. Also, I’ve never traveled for spring break, and I quickly discovered why - everything is so much more expensive!!! This will be our first and last spring break trip!

I was trying to book using DVC points, and also for a group of 8, so I really wanted a suite. All the suites were booked up by the Club 33 folk before us lowly DVCers even got a shot!

Unless there is a massive discount, it will be a Hard No.

I will be really interested to hear how it goes. I am not full into cosplay, but can totally go with an immersive experience.

I am curious if Disney might have missed on thw themeing by making it too luxurious. Its a catch-22, you want to give people luxury for their money, but luxury in the Star Wars universe is associated with corruption and indifference. All the good guys are gun slingers and rebels in hiding and not the people in the Casino town in the Last Jedi.

But Disney is good at immersion, so hopefully they threaded rhis needle. I can’t wait to hear!

Think more Alderaan royalty luxury than Canto Bight.

Yes! That would totally work, but one of the promos made me think of Canto Brite. So fingers crossed there is less of this:

And more of this:

My husband and I have it booked for August 2nd-4th as our tentative 10 year anniversary plan! Us actually going is contingent upon reviews of the experience in the coming months. Can’t wait to read reviews!
