Disney Permanently Closing Star Wars-Themed Hotel After Less Than Two Years Due to Low Interest and High Costs
- Disney is closing its Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel after less than two years due to poor sales from its high price tag and underwhelming experience.
- The immersive experience cost $1,200 per person per night with some stays totaling $5,000 for two nights.
- Guests criticized the small, windowless rooms, reliance on phones and technology, lack of amenities, and high prices.
- Sales struggled and occupancy rates were low, forcing Disney to slash nightly rates up to 30 percent and reduce the number of voyages.
- The closure is part of Disney’s cost-cutting efforts to save $5.5 billion, including canceling plans to build a $1 billion corporate campus.
