On Tuesday, Disney officials confirmed that the hotel opening has now been delayed until 2022.
When guests step inside they will be among the first to see a brand-new, more realistic lightsaber. Disney said the lightsaber is designed by Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development and will create more dramatic in-person moments previously only seen in films or shows.
Check out the lightsaber in the video below.
Guests staying for a two-night adventure will plunge into a Star Wars story where their decisions, actions and conversations will determine how their personal journey unfolds. Disney said each guest’s adventure will begin at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser terminal.
Guests will board a special Launch Pod and leave their world behind as they make a hyperspace jump to a galaxy far, far away.
Guests will watch through viewports as they approach the Halcyon starcruiser.
When the Launch Pod opens the Star Wars journey will begin. Guests will learn the ways of the force, train like a Jedi and meet unique characters.
On Tuesday, Disney shared the first image of the Crown of Corellia Dining Room.
“The enticing supper club’s name is an homage to Corellia, the planet known galaxy-wide for its shipyards that gave us not only the Halcyon starcruiser, but also the Millennium Falcon,” Disney explained on its blog. “The dining room is a bright and welcoming hall that will offer breakfast and lunch to passengers before transitioning each evening into a lavish multi-course menu of both otherworldly and familiar origins.”
For a limited time, Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests can now see a model of the Halcyon starcruiser on display inside Walt Disney Presents.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is also offering special Star Wars-themed desserts and beverages available at select locations throughout the park, including a new dark side chocolate creation and returning favorite lightsaber churro.
Wednesday, Disney Springs will offer the Grogu mini dome cake at Amorette’s Patisserie and the Millennium Falcon chocolate pop at The Ganachery.
