When first revealed, it was being referred to as a “Star Wars Hotel” but you’ll notice that Walt Disney World doesn’t really use that word at all.
While Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Rise of the Resistance are currently wowing guests at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, the future is already looking bright for Star Wars in the parks thanks to the construction in Orlando of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a new two-night Star Wars experience.
It’s become increasing clear that the reason Disney isn’t calling this new location a hotel is that that’s not really the way to look at it.
The more applicable comparison is to a cruise ship.
