Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Slashes Voyages, But Not Prices…or Anything Else.
Walt Disney World has released Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort stays for the remainder of 2023, and also officially confirmed a reduction of “voyages” per week. This post shares dates & details, plus extensive commentary about why this is frustrating and not an actual solution to the issues.
The main substantive detail is that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyages are now on sale for October through December 2023 travel dates. The voyage calendar has been updated online with the new availability posted for the remainder of the year, which confirms something we suspected back in January–Disney is reducing the number of weekly Starcruiser voyages.
Here’s Walt Disney World’s official statement on this: “When the voyage calendar is live, you may notice the schedule has been modified to provide two voyages per week, except for holiday weeks where we may have three voyages. We’ve been learning a lot during our first year of operation and have adjusted voyage dates to meet the needs of our guests.”
To be clear, “meet the needs of our guests” is a PR-friendly way of saying that the number of voyage dates has been reduced due to low demand for the struggling Starcruiser. You don’t reduce the availability of something that’s a rousing success. The only “need” being addressed here is Disney’s attempt to stem the bleeding and reduce loses.
This follows a couple of different discounts for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, neither of which really did anything to incentivize voyages. First came the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser “discount” released for DVC members. This was a deal in name only, as it was a low-value DVC point offer. Members would’ve been better off renting out their points and paying cash for Starcruiser.
Following that, there was last month’s special offer to Save Up to $700 on 2-Night Disney World Resort Stays when paired with Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (see above savings chart). In our view, this was a good discount for people who already had Starcruiser booked. In other words, it incentivized Deluxe Resort stays before or after, and not Starcruiser bookings. The focus was on the wrong thing.
Finally, we didn’t cover it in a standalone post, but Walt Disney World just released Cast Member discounts of 50% off select Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyages. Now this actually is a good deal and one that might help fill some of the many empty rooms. The only issue is that it’s very narrowly targeted, and only a small subset of all Cast Members who are eligible could actually afford to do this pricey experience.
With that out of the way, let’s turn to commentary. Frankly, this is frustrating. Before it even opened, we predicted that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser might struggle to find an audience once the initial wave of hardcore fans and affluent enthusiasts got their fix. We also predicted that Walt Disney World would be slow to pivot, and would quietly offer targeted discounts to Cast Members and other groups to avoid publicly “admitting” that the Starcruiser was not a big success.
This perspective was hardly unique, and one many Walt Disney World commentators and fans who had ‘been around the block’ shared. So I say this not to boast that I nailed the prediction, but out of frustration that Disney did not foresee this internally, and has no apparent plans to pivot or do anything differently.
Let’s be clear: Starcruiser is struggling. If the status quo is maintained, this will only get worse over time. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser debuted during a period of pent-up demand and free-spending consumers. Its first year largely exhausted the supply of hardcore Star Wars and Disney fans who have the money and interest in an experience like this.
Reducing the number of weekly voyages cuts costs and consolidates what demand does exist, but it doesn’t fix any underlying issues. Namely, it does not expand the audience or appeal of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. It’s a band aid approach that will simply result in Starcruiser losing less money and failing slower. If this is Walt Disney World’s only fix, then failure is still inevitable.
To that point, another prediction we made even before Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser opened was that if it failed, it would close. There are possible pivots (we’ll discuss those in a bit), but converting this building to a standard hotel is not one of them. Many Walt Disney World fans seem to assume this is a plausible or inevitable outcome. It is not.
Starcruiser does not have a laundry list of amenities that a normal guest would expect of a hotel–everything from a pool to outdoor common areas to working windows. Part of the reason Starcruiser has been such a challenge to market is because it is fundamentally not a hotel. It’s an immersive experience that offers a place to sleep.
Starcruiser is also very small. The entire thing is only 100 rooms. The scale does not work as a hotel, especially given the level of investment that would be required to convert this into a standard hotel. It would be like throwing good money after bad.
Honestly, even if Starcruiser could somehow be operated as a hotel without any material changes, I suspect it’s not viable. The operating costs of staffing and maintaining it–even without entertainment performers–might be too high given the low number of rooms. (As I’ve said before, even at present, I don’t think the margins on Starcruiser are nearly as healthy as many fans assume. Yes, the price is high, but so too are the operating costs.)
I write all of this not as one of the doom & gloom bloggers or vloggers who has an axe to grind with Disney or Star Wars. There are plenty of people who have been openly hoping for the failure of Starcruiser. I am not one of them. I’m simply trying to be cognizant of operational and economic realities, as well as demand for this experience as it exists.
To those points, I also know that guest satisfaction for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is excellent. We’re talking higher scores than just about anything else at Walt Disney World. I have heard this from multiple people with knowledge of the Halcyon, and I have no reason to doubt them. (This also comports with our Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Review, which is incredibly positive about everything except for the price.)
I have no issue calling out the many mistakes that Disney has made with this, but the actual experience is not one of them. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser having some of the highest guest satisfaction scores of anything at Walt Disney World should be entirely unsurprising for anyone who has actually done a voyage.
For those who haven’t, it’s an incredibly well-done, memorable, and personalized experience. Everything about it is amazing. You become emotionally invested in the outcome of the storyline and the whole thing is just immensely satisfying. Walt Disney World has had its hits and misses in recent years, but this delivers in just about every regard. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is classic Walt Disney World–a true triumph of Imagineering.
The main problem, of course, is the price. (For more thoughts on this expensive pricing, see Is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Worth the High Cost?) Guest satisfaction is incredibly high, but there’s just a tiny bit of selection bias there: it’s surveying those who could afford to do Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Not polled are the ~95% of the potential audience for this that either could not afford it or don’t want to invest the time in a multi-day live action role playing experience.
Basically, Walt Disney World has something that’s awesome and envelope-pushing, but has high operating costs and even higher price points for guests. The end result is something highly exclusionary that reduces a potentially large consumer pool into a very small one.
So what’s the solution? Well, I can tell you what it is not, and that’s what Disney is doing. Again, this is a band aid approach that temporarily stems the bleeding and reduces costs. But it still puts Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser on a path to eventual closure if no other interventions are taken.
The real solution is expanding the consumer-base. This is accomplished by offering something that’s more approachable, both from a pricing perspective and also a time commitment one. It’s not either/or, it’s both. Due to the scale and operating expenses, there’s likely only so much cost-cutting that can be done to reduce pricing on the 2-night experience while still maintaining profitability. That’s fine, because price is not the only impediment to people doing Starcruiser–it’s also investing 2 nights of limited vacation time into an experience that might not be for everyone.
As we’ve suggested before, the solution is debuting ‘day trips’ aboard the Halcyon. Walt Disney World could offer 8-hour experiences that condense key moments of the storyline into a single day visit. The branching script could be rewritten in a way that hits the major high notes, basically turning the Halcyon into a boutique theme park or interactive narrative experience. (Somewhat like Meow Wolf, but exponentially more expensive.)
This shorter experience would be very attractive to some fans and also significantly cheaper. It would introduce a whole new audience to Starcruiser, and whet their appetite for even more. It could result in even more bookings of the 2-night voyage as people learn how good Starcruiser really is.
I know this is feasible and also would incentivize full voyages because I attended a partial-day preview of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser before it officially opened. It was pretty much what I’m describing above, and it left me satisfied but also wanting more. Granted, we had already booked and paid for the full voyage by that point, but I’m fairly positive that day trip would’ve convinced me to do the full experience regardless.
To be sure, that will not be the outcome for many Star Wars and Walt Disney World fans. They will book the day trips because that’s all their budget allows, and no amount of saving or skimping will change the equation on that. The 2-night experience is simply too expensive for the vast majority of the park-going public–or not how they want to spend their limited vacation time.
That’s perfectly fine. Capturing a new audience is capturing a new audience, and the day trips would be a great pivot that offers a less expensive entry point into Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser while also maintaining its future financial viability. This alone would be huge, and keep the Halcyon operational for at least a few more years.
Ultimately, I really want to see Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser succeed. That’s why it’s so frustrating to see Walt Disney World make changes that don’t fix the underlying issues, but instead allow it to circle the drain a little slower.
Frankly, I get why so many fans are frustrated by the Starcruiser and are openly cheering for it to fail. It was dumb of Disney to make this so exclusionary, both in pricing and appeal. There are dozens of ways Disney could’ve approached this so it didn’t alienate so much of the audience. Yet they opted against all of that and remain steadfast in their refusal to fix the underlying issues. In a sense, Disney will get what they deserve if Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser fails.
However, that’s not what the creative team behind the Starship Halcyon deserve, nor do the passionate performers who poured their hearts and souls into making these characters and the whole experience come alive. It’s also not what Star Wars or Walt Disney World fans deserve–and that includes those who have bashed it. There are so many fans who have done so out of justifiable frustration, but who would actually love the Starcruiser if given a chance to experience it.
At the end of the day, I don’t know if offering ‘day excursions’ to the Starcruiser in between full voyages would actually work or save the Starcruiser. But it’s certainly better than the alternative, which is trying absolutely nothing and hoping that it just magically becomes more popular even as pent-up demand is fizzling out and consumer spending is slowing.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is actually awesome, innovative, and a leap forward for the world of interactive storytelling. Imagineering created something outside the box that offered full immersion, interactivity, entertainment, and personalization in a highly-themed environment. It will be an absolute shame if more fans do not get to experience this, and if Disney scraps the millions of dollars in physical infrastructure and R&D. Walt Disney World needs to be as creative in fixing the current problems as Imagineering was in designing the experience–because there’s something special here, more people just need the chance to experience it.

Hearing your feedback–even when you disagree with us–is both interesting to us and helpful to other readers, so please share your thoughts below in the comments!
Day voyages sound like a good idea. You can probably generate significant demand even at $400-$500 per person for 7-8 hour adventure.
If you run it from 8:00am to 4pm and a second boarding of 4pm-midnight, you can probably host 600-800 guests per day, on “non-full-voyage days.” By my rough math, that’s approximately the same daily revenue that is generated by voyages, on a per day basis.
I might even take the price discrimination further: I’ve seen some people complain that the voyages are too short. Every now and then, for even higher price, offer a 3 night voyage. Maybe sprinkle in some 1-night trips.
The difficulty would be re-programing the itinerary for different types of trips, but I have to think it’s pretty doable. And the 8-hour voyage days would be cheaper to operate, without needing to provide overnight accommodations.
I’d also suggest — It could be beneficial for Disney to use the Cruiser as a loss leader. “Book a full week at the Grand Floridian at rack rate, get 50% off Galaxy Cruiser”… or “Galaxy cruiser add on at 50% off when booking a stay of 10 days or longer at a Disney Deluxe resort.”
I think longer voyages could be a good idea if they can first right the ship and figure out how to make this thing viable, at all.
Otherwise, there’s a lot of writing, training, and who knows what else that would go into that. Longer itineraries would require further investment, and that might be throwing good money after bad.
Agreed, I’m not talking starting with expanded cruises, just about ultimately working towards greater price discrimination. Create an experience for those that are only willing to spend $500 per person (the 8 hour voyages), and eventually also have for those that can/would spend $10,000 for something even more VIP.
The problem with “1 size fits all” is that it ends up being a size that fits almost nobody.
Honestly I think they should do even shorter “day trips” on the days that aren’t part of a voyage, like just 3 hours with a prix fixe meal at something like $200 a person. One lunch and two dinner seatings, with basically just enough time to see the interior. I feel like that would be a hit.
I love that idea! actually I heard (probably from Tom) that the dinner show and some of the star cruiser elements were originally planned to be for the standard galaxy’s edge in some form… your idea would almost be back to that!
I would totally be in the demographic for this experience (big Star Wars fan, top 12% in terms of annual income, daughter who is a big Star Wars fan as well), but I can’t justify it from a cost perspective. $4800 I can drive my entire family to Orlando, stay at a Bonnet Creek resort, get park tickets, and every one of my family would enjoy that for the same price that my daughter and me get to geek out for 1.5 days (excluding travel costs). The pricepoint is just totally off for where the sweetspot is in the demographic. But that’s WDW nowadays… decisions are being made to maximize revenue from big fish and losing the “food source” that makes the whole ecosystem work. This could still work infrastructure wise as a “day trip” if they tweak the format to borrow some operations from the Hogwarts Express. Make it a VIP experience as an add on to a Hollywood Studios day.
The day trip idea, even in a limited fashion alternating with overnight voyages, would likely extend the profitability of the GS, but I just don’t see it working long-term (meaning more than another couple of years). I think the biggest question we all have is when (“if” if you want to be optimistic) the GS shuts down for good, what CAN they do with the space? In 20 years is some vlogger going to be breaking into the facility to film the “abandoned Disney project few experienced” and it’ll all be deteriorating?
This all seems so reminiscent of the original Disney Institute. A cool concept but sadly failing to capture enough interest to sustain more than a couple years of existence.
No windows is a good start. Take out the clocks and you have a casino. No idea what to do with the bedrooms? Can you say adult character meet and greets?
Oh wait everyone’s being serious.
Yeah, day trips actually are a good idea.
Would definitely be interested in a day trip—I’d think of it as a combined character meal and interactive specialty tour. What do you think would be a fair/viable price per person for such a thing?
Besides terrible solutions that make the product worse, it seems like daytime trips are a straightforward attempt to save costs in order to have a less expensive product to offer in between voyages. (Grabbing at straws, but WDW would need to reduce overnight voyages before they offer day trips, based on my understanding of the current experience.) I still have concerns that it may not be enough to make the Starcruiser profitable, and/or it likely still be an expensive product, but I just have no idea how much fixed vs variable costs they’re dealing with.
This sounds like the only way forward that doesn’t involve significant changes to the experience, and even if I never end up going I don’t want it to be ruined.
I have three immediate family members who would make a day trip work in a heartbeat if they could! Heck, I was hoping those phantom August dates were going to turn into day trips for my brother’s 30th birthday that he’ll be spending in WDW anyway, to celebrate. We would’ve pooled our gifts into one experience for him, who, as an opening day Galaxy’s Edge CM that has since returned to Massachusetts, I’m sure would’ve made him weep with happiness!
I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I saw Return of the Jedi in the theater for my birthday in 1983, so the experience has a lot of appeal to me. However, for less than this costs for two, my wife and I have been to Italy for a week. There’s no way I could justify the cost for GS in good conscience. This was likely a hard sell for most guests in the best of times, but as economic fears linger, I think the audience is going to dry up even more than it already has.
When you’re good, you’re good. I thought your analysis was spot on. The only thing I’d add is I just don’t understand the market research, or lack thereof, that went into this whole thing. One of the great things about a Disney family vacation is that throughout the day there is something for everyone. What I mean is that, as a family of four with a daughter and son who have varied interests no one child ever had to do anything they didn’t enjoy for too long. For example, my son is a moderate Star Wars fan, but my daughter actively dislikes/loathes Star Wars (all versions of it). A stint in Galaxy’s Edge was tolerable because she knew it was a family trip, and there would be other things she’d enjoy. Even if money were no object, there is no way we’d subject her to a multi day Star Wars experience. I can’t imagine there are not lots of other families with a similar dynamic.
What Imagineering and Lucasfilm have been able to accomplish with all things Star Wars is one big exercise in ignoring market research and giving creatives free reign. Don’t get me wrong–I love the latitude they were given in experimenting, but it also feels like there was no adult in the room to control their worst impulses.
Everyone loves to hate the beancounters, but so many of the things people love to complain about with both the land and Starcruiser would not have happened if other stakeholders had a greater say and provided a meaningful check on the creatives.
I’m sure for some people its a great experience but its very niche. It’s not just the price (which is pretty absurd) – but like you pointed out the amount of time spent instead of being in the parks cannot be attractive to most families. Also playing pretend for that long is a lot. Maybe the shorter experience like u suggest could be the answer , but the price for that to work would probably need to be in the hundreds- not thousands IMO.
Price is the only issue here for me. Even as someone who really dislikes the Star Wars sequels found this experience to be short of perfect for a Star Wars fan. The price, however, stinks. That is their hurdle. They need to just turn it into a VIP day experience of some sort as you mentioned. You take the shuttle up to the Halycon where you can sample out of this world cuisines and shop to your hearts content and jump into the story. Only odd thing would be what do you do with the rooms? My prediction is it will close eventually. This is why we did it last year to see what it could be in it’s first couple of months of operation.
I think with a one-day experience, you could just have an optional room add-on to stay the night. Not everyone would do it but a good chunk of people would!
We would love a day trip!!! We are not in the market for a multi day cruise which eats up park days but would be happy to immerse for a day.
I would do a day trip in a heartbeat. The idea of the starcruiser (even the 2 day version!) sounds absolutely amazing to me and I’d love to try it but I’m most often a solo traveler and just haven’t been able to justify that price for one person and don’t really have anyone in my life I could persuade to join me. A one day version (presumably priced per person and not per cabin) would be an excellent compromise in vacation time and price
I think it looks amazing and I really do want to do it. My kids WANT to do it. Give us DVC or Annual Passholder discounts of 25% off and they will fill up the rest of the calendar year right away. It not an undesirable product – it is simply too expensive for 2 nights
Interestingly, one of my friends just did Galactic Starcruiser for his 50th birthday (we stayed at the Polynesian for mine) – he posted pictures of it on Facebook, and it looked like a really comprehensive, well put-together experience…but not one I’m interested in. It reminds me of “Star Trek: The Experience” out at the Las Vegas Hilton 20 years ago – well done, very detailed, but limited in appeal beyond the hard-core fanbase.
I think your idea of adding ‘day trips’ is probably the best route for Disney at this point, and I think your assessment of it serving as an enticement for future overnight stays is probably correct.
I’ve heard several people make that comparison to Star Trek: The Experience. Really bummed I never got a chance to do that–it sounds amazing.
I have not done GS but as someone that went to the Star Trek Experience twice, I dont think there is much of a comparison based on what everyone has said about the GS.
The ST:Experience is just like Rise of the resistance imo. At least the ride portion. It was truly innovative at its Time and was basically RotR V1.0 imo. It was incredibly immersive and as a huge Trekkie (just went on a ST themed cruise) it is literally the first type of RotR type ride. Some similar effects to Cosmic Rewind as well at the beginning. It was an experience and not just a ride.
Even if you include the promenade; the eventual Borg 4D experience, and quarks, the shops and the museum, it really doesn’t seem like GS. There were aliens roaming the promenade but it was truly immersive and it was really just a restaurant/shopping area in the LV Hilton with one and then two rides attached. In 1998 when it launched though, it truly was a revolutionary attraction and I wish all the RotR fans would know where the beginnings of the making of an experience like that truly came from.
Meant to say WASN’T truly immersive like RotR. The roaming aliens likely is what gives it a similar feel I would imagine.
Ramon – When I went on Cosmic Rewind and walked into the ‘teleporter’ I knew *exactly* what was going to happen because of the Star Trek experience. I love closing my eyes when the lights start flashing just to watch the walls when it’s dark. Really sad I never got to experience it, but there are some great vids on youtube that let you relive it pretty well…
Maggie,
Sad for you that you never had a chance to experience it. While RotR is more impressive due to sheer scale (ATAT, Gun room, etc) the immersion of the ST:The experience ride was every bit just as good, and in some ways better. It was totally continuous from what I rememebered. Once it started there was never a line or cue. You were just guided from one location to the next unlike in RotR where there are some down moments.
Every time I ride Cosmic Rewind the beginning definitely brings me back to the ST: Experience. If you were a Trekkie it was the closest you’d ever to be in being in an episode. What was impressive is just how well they pulled the rug out from under you. Back before youtube and bloggers, there was minimal spoilers and the way they marketed it, it really was marketed like a star tours kinda attraction. Had no clue what you were getting into, until you were in the thick of it.
I saw Star Trek: The Experience in the very early days – late 1998 – so I’ll admit my memory of it is pretty faded at this point nearly 25 years later. 🙂 I actually don’t even remember there being a ride, though there was one – I remember the history of the future museum part and Quark’s bar. Maybe I was too broke/cheap to pay for the ride at the time, which is likely (I visited while in Las Vegas for work in my early 20’s).
The ride was $20 back in 1998, so in 1998 dollars it was a little pricey. It really wasn’t a ride so much as an experience. Although a huge chunk of the museum was the queue for the ride, so you almost had to queue for the ride to see the museum.
It was supposed to move to downtown Las Vegas after it closed in the Hilton, but sadly that never materialized
I agree with most everything you say…
Disney’s focus the past few years has been predominantly on upcharges and going after the big spenders. Genie +, ILL, new DVCs, $250 lightsabers, and of course the Starcruiser. Some of the coolest elements of the Star Cruiser should have been incorporated into Galaxy’s Edge (actor’s, droids, entertainment) as planned and made it a great place to hang out (like Wizarding World of Harry Potter) instead of a place to get a couple of rides. If the Star Cruiser succeeded, it would spur them to do more things for the limited few, which I will not partake in due to the high cost. So yes, I would like it to fail. As it stands, I have no plans to take my family back to WDW.
In the meantime, Universal is chasing my dollar by building lower cost hotels, and aggressively expanding. I wish they built Galaxy’s Edge instead of Disney. If Disney ever responds to Epic Universe, I hope they focus on a wider audience.
Totally understand your perspective, except for the Universal comparison.
Comcast is not exactly known as a benevolent corporation–they will do the exact same thing as Disney as soon as marketshare and demand allows. Enjoy the cheap hotel pricing while it lasts (we have!) because those prices will skyrocket if demand from Epic Universe allows them to.
I pretty much agree with this comment as well.
Except, I don’t think Universal is offering a better value because of some “benevolence.” They are chasing a certain consumer and winning people over (such as myself). They see a market and they are investing in it. So they earned my dollars. Example: They are building lower cost hotels. Honestly, I don’t think Disney will ever built anything less than a Deluxe hotel ever again.
Great post Tom. As one of the SWGS “haters” (my term) it’s disappointing to see all my pessimism come true. Two questions though:
1) you sat lots of people rate GS high and want to do it again. Have you booked another trip yet? Because it seems like actions are different than what people are saying.
2) I heard stories of rich families buying sailings because it was expensive and we’re totally lost. I think there’s a market for an inclusive experience at WDW and an interactive theater experience, but not the SAME product.
1) Guest satisfaction is high; that’s not the same as intent to return/revisit. We have not booked another voyage…and probably wouldn’t even with the CM discount, at this point. As time has passed, I’m perfectly satisfied with the memory of the experience, and feel less of a “need” to experience the storylines we missed. I suspect repeatability is low for the average guest–that’s one of the reasons I don’t think it would be pragmatic for WDI to write new storylines to lure back past patrons.
2) I’ve heard those same anecdotes. My only takeaway from them is that there’s a reason WDW still does not allow online booking for this, cumbersome as the phone process is.
For some reason I thought you also mentioned that people were saying they wanted to go back. Wow, I’m really losing it! lol
I am someone who booked it twice, but expected my second experience to not be as good as my first (being on the maiden voyage.) Despite that, I was blown away by the fact that my second experience was as good or better. The cast remembered me and we picked up our relationships right where they’d left off, which led to even better story for my character and made me want to go back a third time.
However. I’ve now done two of the (essentially) three plot lines, and other than just getting the delight of the ambiance and seeing my (in-character) friends again I don’t actually have any real reason to go back and do that third plot. It just doesn’t interest me. So…from that perspective? Even I would be interested in a cheaper one-day trek in order to just get on-board and do some of the things I’ve never managed to do (like eat in the Cantina. Every time I went in there some major plotline happened and I had to run out again!)
On my first voyage there were several repeat voyagers.
We’re going back on the May 3rd voyage and there are a number of repeat customers on that trip.
I can’t say if I’ll want to go a 3rd time or not, but having gone twice, I’m not sure a diminished day trip would be something I’d be interested in either.
Yes! Give me a day trip! I can’t justify the price for a family of 5 on an experience I’m unsure we will all enjoy. Maybe only one or two of my kids would want more? Maybe none of us would. I am a demographic that can pay and would but I want a test drive so to speak.
Too over priced and the food seems odd and limited.
