We have a photo update on the upcoming Star Wars Resort. The exciting new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to debut in 2021 and will connect to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The aerial photo featured on Twitter can be seen below.
Guests begin their Star Wars adventure the second they enter the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal. From there, you will be brought into an exclusive launch pod that will transport guests to the Halcyon. The Halcyon is the themed starcruiser where guests will enjoy their two-day cruise across the galaxy.
What’s amazing is how immersive this new resort experience is from beginning to end. The pod that transports guests to the starcruiser will have viewports showing space outside. It will look like you’re actually leaving the planet and boarding a massive spaceship.
Part of the cruise itinerary is a “spaceport of call” where guests go directly to Galaxy’s Edge. Because of the emphasis on being an immersive resort experience, Disney will use special guest transports to bring people to the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. The whole excursion keeps you locked in the Star Wars story mode, so entering and leaving Batuu will be a new kind of experience. The story told between the starcruiser and the planet of Batuu will be an incredible adventure for resort guests. We will post updates on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort when more information becomes available!

According to the Disney World website Spaceship Earth is now officially closed for refurbishment.
Before the closure of Walt Disney World we reported that Spaceship Earth was set to close on May 26th for a ride refurbishment but the Disney World website did not have it listed as closed till today.
Spaceship Earth is supposed to receive an update to go with the new look & feel of Epcot.
You’ll visit Egypt, which is part of the current version of the attraction, but it will be an Egypt like you’ve never seen before, transformed through the power of light.
Throughout the attraction, you’ll hear new narration and see how light plays a central role in our shared human journey, coming to life in dynamic ways in a celebration of the magic that’s possible when we all come together.
With the big news of today that Disney World will be submitting their reopening plans to Orange County tomorrow it looks like if they were to reopen we won’t be able to have one last right on the classic Epcot attraction.

Walt Disney World officials will be presenting reopening plans to Orange County’s economic recovery task force tomorrow, Wednesday, May 27th.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said Tuesday that Disney is slated to make their presentation about reopening during the 10 a.m. meeting Wednesday. Demings also said two health officials with the county were at the theme parks on Tuesday conducting inspections.
“Walt Disney World will submit a proposal tomorrow, May 27, to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force in Florida for a phased reopening of the resort’s theme parks,” Disney said in a statement Tuesday.
If the task force approves Disney’s reopening plans tomorrow, it will go to the mayor. Once the mayor signs off, it will be sent to Governor Ron DeSantis for approval.
We can’t wait to find out what Disney’s plans are for reopening Disney World!

Tokyo Disneyland‘s shopping and dining district, Ikspiari, announced it will be reopening June 1st. Located near the entrance to Tokyo Disneyland, Ikspiari is the Japanese equivalent of Downtown Disney or Disney Springs.
The Japanese government recently announced that it would be releasing the state of emergency for Tokyo which is allowing Ikspiari and other businesses to reopen.
While most of the Tokyo Disney Resort remains closed, measures will be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to promote the safety and security of employees and customers at Ikspiari.
The Tokyo Disney Resort and Ikspiari are owned and operated by Oriental Land Company, not Disney. However, this reopening could mark a step towards reopening Tokyo Disneyland.
