Construction Permit Filed for Recently Closed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser

Disney has submitted a construction permit for the now-shuttered Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World, and it has been assigned to Sunstate Awning & Graphic Design, a Florida-based company specializing in custom fabric and metal awnings.

Unfortunately, the permit lacks additional details, leaving the scope of the work shrouded in mystery. Whether the construction is linked to a future guest-oriented project at the former Starcruiser or merely part of routine maintenance during its closure remains unknown.

Disney has remained quiet on the building’s future. In June 2023, Disney Parks chief Josh D’Amaro shared the news, “No hints yet, but something will happen.”

Potential ideas for repurposing the Starcruiser include a more affordable daytime excursion from Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge or transforming the facility into a conventional hotel experience. However, the latter seems less plausible due to the substantial modifications required for the building to function as a traditional hotel.

Debuting on March 1, 2022, with a steep price tag of approximately $5200 for a two-day, two-night stay, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser faced initial success but encountered a swift downturn in bookings after the strong initial sales. In response, Disney sought cost-saving measures and strategies to boost reservations.

The final voyage of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser concluded on September 28-30, 2023.
