How to Save BIG at One of the Most Expensive Hotels in Disney World

Star Wars Day just passed which might have you yearning for a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios or even THE Star Wars Hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser).

Galactic Starcruiser is one of the most highly immersive experiences you can have in Disney World. With this adventure, you’ll go on a 2-night “voyage” through the galaxy alongside fan-favorite characters. Once you board the ship, Star Wars is no longer a film — it’s your reality! Going on the Starcruiser is NOT cheap though — we’re talking THOUSANDS of dollars just for 2 days. But we have some tips to help you stay there for LESS.

The Starcruiser experience includes a lot for the price, so that’s something you’ll want to keep in mind. A typical voyage for 2 guests starts at around $4,809. But you’ll experience nearly constant entertainment, themed food and drinks, and even a park ticket to Hollywood Studios.

You’ll also get all of the following for your cost:

This experience is treated much like a cruise in the sense that you pay a lump sum for the majority of the experiences. While many Star Wars fans would love to experience this immersion, the cost alone is a force (Get it? Force?) to be reckoned with.

In honor of Star Wars Day, we’re taking a look at some of the BEST discounts you can get if you’re hoping to take a voyage aboard the Galactic Starcruiser. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser

First up, you can currently save up to $700 on a 2-night stay at another Disney World hotel when you combine it with select Galactic Starcruiser voyages. This offer is valid for select voyages between now and September 30th, 2023.

The savings you’ll get depends on what other hotel you book. But the combination could help you save some serious cash.

Since the Starcruiser voyage is only two days, combining it with another resort stay could be ideal so that you could spend more time at Disney World and visit more parks.
