Walt Disney World released new details about its future Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel on Star Wars Day. The commemorative day is observed annually on May 4 and is marked by fans around the world to celebrate all things Star Wars and a galaxy far, far away.

In celebration of Star Wars Day, Walt Disney World announced new details about its intergalactic, immersive 2-day vacation experience, including a new light saber reveal...

Even prior to the Star Wars opening, Disney is reportedly already looking at other film and television franchises that they could be used for a similar concept. First reported by theme park news and rumor site Screamscape , and then confirmed by others, the speculative Universal project would be built into the new Epic Universe park, and themed to the Wizarding World. Unlike Star Wars, the Wizarding World exists parallel to the "real world," with those in the know able to traverse the two simultaneously. Universal, and the rest of the themed entertainment industry, will be closely watching the Star Wars hotel to see its success and issues. Even if Epic Universes Wizarding World hotel isnt realized, with Universal kicking the tires on the concept and others already embracing themed hotels, its safe to say the Galactic Starcruiser wont be the last multi-day experience-driven hotel.
