Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to Become Imagineering Offices
The former Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel at Walt Disney World is undergoing a transformation, but not into the resurrected guest experience some fans had hoped for. Instead, the building is being converted into office space for Walt Disney Imagineering, the creative force behind Disney’s theme parks and attractions.

Multiple sources, including an individual close to The Walt Disney Company, have confirmed the news. The former Starcruiser will serve as a central hub for Imagineering’s ambitious expansion projects across Walt Disney World, including:
- Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom: This new land will reportedly feature “Encanto” and Indiana Jones-themed attractions.
- “Cars” and Disney Villains Expansions at Magic Kingdom: Two new areas are planned for Magic Kingdom, one focusing on the world of “Cars” and the other showcasing Disney villains.
- “Monsters, Inc.” Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: A new land inspired by the Pixar film “Monsters, Inc.” is coming to Hollywood Studios.

While rumors had circulated about the Starcruiser potentially reopening as a dinner theater experience, those plans seem to have been scrapped. Sources indicate that playtests conducted with Cast Members were for a potential in-park dining experience, not something within the Starcruiser building itself. It is now confirmed that the building will not be accessible to guests.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was a highly immersive “Star Wars” hotel experience that allowed guests to participate in a two-day, two-night adventure. Guests could choose to align with the Resistance or the First Order, engage in lightsaber training, visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and enjoy themed dining and interactive experiences. However, despite its innovative concept, the Starcruiser closed permanently on September 30, 2023, after just over a year of operation.
With its conversion into Imagineering offices, the Starcruiser building will play a vital role in shaping the future of Walt Disney World, contributing to the development of exciting new experiences for guests to enjoy in the years to come.
