Disney World will shutter the squad-bay doors on its immersive Star Wars-
themed luxury hotel in late September — less than two years after its
opening.

The Walt Disney Co. announced Thursday that the “Star Wars: Galactic
Starcruiser” two-night hotel will embark on its “final voyage” Sept. 28-
30.

“We are so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life,” Disney said. “Thank you to our
Guests and fans for making this experience so special.”

The vacation experience based at Orlando’s Walt Disney World debuted in
March 2022.

The company did not specify why one of its most “creative projects ever”
was closing, but acknowledged it set a “new bar for innovation and
immersive entertainment,” the company said in a statement to CNBC.

“This premium, boutique experience gave us the opportunity to try new
things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms,” the statement read.

Disney chief executive Bob Iger announced in February that the company
would reduce costs by $5.5 billion as it works to make its streaming TV
business profitable.

Fans of the Star Wars franchise and Disney have complained about the
prices at the 100-room hotel, which makes up less than 0.5% of Disney’s
room inventory in the area, according to Reuters.

The average nightly cost per person is $1,209, or $4,809 for two guests.

A party of four — three adults and one child — wanting to experience the
two-night adventure will spend $5,999.

The two-day vacation package contains a day trip to Star Wars: Galaxy’s
Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a Magic Band, valet service and
“ongoing, immersive and interactive entertainment.”

Disney, who announced the hotel in 2019, reportedly spent around $2
billion to construct its Star Wars theme parks in Florida and California.

It’s unknown if the cost of the Starcruiser Hotel was included in the
amount.

Disney also revealed it was scrapping its plans to build a whopping $1
billion corporate campus in Florida.

How convenient of Disney to blame the feud they started with Governor
DeSantis. Yet, reality paints a very different picture. In the last year
Disney stock is down almost 10% while the S&P is up nearly 8%. In the last
5 years Disney has lost 8.5% market cap while the S&P is up nearly 54%.
THAT’S why Disney had to scrap the 1 billion dollar Lake Nona project
which has laid dormant for over 2 years and now shuttered their Star Wars
hotel along with the thousands of layoffs and other cost cutting moves
they’ve been forced to implement.
