Walt Disney World start the year with a rare sellout - a second date in 2023 has now sold out for the not very busy Galactic Starcruiser. A second date has now sold out for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser immersive hotel experience at Walt Disney World, August 19 - 20 now joins the first date of the year to see out February 18 - 19. Last year when the hotel experience first opened in a blaze of wall to wall publicity, the hotel was immensely popular with Star Wars fans desperate to stay onboard the Galactic Starcruiser. Now that the die hard fans have all checked in and out again, the experience has failed to live up to the hype in terms of popularity., in large part due to the high price point. The hotel experience has went from high occupancy in Summer 2022, to pretty much the lowest occupancy imaginable in Spring 2023, however a sliver lining on the horizon is that now with the second date selling out for this year, that takes the total amount of sellouts for the entire bookable period in 2023 to two. Perhaps we can expect discounts soon?
