 How cool does this look?

Are you a die hard Star Wars fan?

Well, prepare for the best news ever folks.

There’s an immersive Star Wars hotel opening in Disney World, and it looks unreal.

Before you get too excited, it hasn’t opened yet, however reservations for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, will open later this year.

We can only imagine the waiting lists…

So, what does the hotel entail, I hear you ask?

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a Star Wars-themed luxury hotel currently being built near Disney’s Hollywood Studios, in the Epcot Resort Area of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and is scheduled to open in 2021.

The hotel accompanies the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge themed area in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts, stated that the Star Wars hotel would be Disney’s “most experiential concept ever” when it opens.

Chapek described the hotel as a “100 percent immersive” experience that “will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits.”

Some examples of the planned features included creatures and droids acting as certain hotel staff such as butlers; guests wearing Star Wars costumes; and an ability to interact with features of the hotel as if visitors were really in the Star Wars universe.

Visitors would also be able to have lightsaber training and duels (an extension of the Jedi Training Academy in Disney’s Hollywood Studios); explore and pilot Star Wars spacecraft; and go on “secret missions” personalised toward the visitors’ experience.

Unreal, right?
