Today we’ve gotten some HUGE updates from Disney about one of the experiences Star Wars fans have been eagerly awaiting — Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (also known as the Star Wars hotel). So far, we’ve gotten a look at the incredible new, realistic-looking lightsaber that will debut there, and an update on when the hotel will open. And now we’ve got some news about a way that you can get a special peek at part of this hotel!
Earlier today, Disney shared that for a limited time, guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will get a look at a model for the Halcyon starcruiser. This is the starcruiser that guests of the Star Wars hotel will “board” for their two-night adventure.
Of course, we made our way over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to check it out for ourselves today!
It’s the Halcyon!
The model is located in Walt Disney Presents. You’ll find it in one of the display areas located near the theater.

Time to Blast Off
It looks like this is the same (or very similar to) the model shared back in 2019 at the D23 Expo.

To board the Halcyon, guests will enter a Launch Pod, leave Earth, and be completely transported to a galaxy far, far away.

Then, they’ll spend a 2-night stay aboard the Halcyon, enjoying all kinds of out-of-this-world food, training with lightsabers, and more.
