  • Guests also get admission to the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida – but the suites’ bunk beds are less impressive

Disney has finally revealed the pricing for its highly anticipated Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser luxury hotel – and it’s certainly on the pricey side. A family of four will have to pay up to US$6,000 for just two nights’ stay at the hotel.

Two guests staying in a standard cabin, the cheapest room available, can expect to pay a total of US$4,809 for the two nights including entertainment, food and drink; two adults and one child rooming in a standard cabin pay US$5,299; and four guests (three adults, one child) booking a standard cabin will pay a whopping US$5,999.

Each package includes not just the two-night stay in one of the Starcruiser’s 100 cabins or suites, but admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to access the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area of the park. It also comes with valet parking, food and beverages at the hotel, and a MagicBand for convenient access to certain services and offerings.

Guests can also pick and choose which activities to add to their itineraries, with Disney calling the experience “the most immersive Star Wars story ever created” and describing it as “part live immersive theatre, part themed environment, part culinary extravaganza and part real-life role-playing game”.

Activities include taking a trip to Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, learning how to play Sabacc, taking lightsabre training, building a model ship, partaking in a droid racing competition and getting drinks at the Sublight Lounge.

For the price, the rooms aren’t exactly spacious, but they will delight fans of the films. Photo: @kellyhmagicaltravel/ Instagram
