the new disney star wars hotel will stretch the interactive experiences found at their theme parks to their accommodation sites. the design has been teased and it looks like an enormous starship that gives the sensation of being in space with views of outer space from every window. but the most exciting part is that each guest will be given a storyline to go along with the movies. employees as well will be in character, making the experience as believable as possible.

‘it’s unlike anything that exists today,’ bob chapek explains the vision. ‘from the second you arrive, you will become a part of a star wars story! you’ll immediately become a citizen of the galaxy and experience all that entails, including dressing up in the proper attire. once you leave earth, you will discover a starship alive with characters, stories, and adventures that unfold all around you. it is 100% immersive, and the story will touch every single minute of your day, and it will culminate in a unique journey for every person who visits.’
