Disney has been operating Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Adventure at the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, since March last year.

The facility, designed to resemble the interior of a Star Wars spaceship, offered a 48-hour stay where guests could undertake various adventures and missions just like in the movies. There are 100 rooms available.

Disney World announced on the 19th (local time) on the Star Wars Adventure homepage that the facility will cease operations after the final experience trip scheduled from September 28 to 30.

They also stated that customers who have booked for later dates will be supported to move their plans earlier, and to give them priority, new reservations will be suspended until the 25th of this month.

Disney did not disclose the reason for ending the operation of this facility, but local media speculated that the excessively high price likely prevented them from attracting enough guests to sustain the business.

The minimum cost per person per night to stay at the facility is $1,200 (approximately 1.6 million KRW).

A two-night experience costs at least $3,200 (about 4.25 million KRW), and a family package for four reaches $6,000 (around 8 million KRW).

At the time of opening, Disney promoted the Galactic Starcruiser as "more than a hotel," saying, "Guests will experience a completely new vacation enjoying an immersive adventure where they choose their own path within the grand Star Wars saga during their two-day stay."

The U.S. economic media outlet CNBC pointed out, "Considering that the cost for a family of four to spend a week at a Disney resort is generally around that level, $6,000 for two nights may be a difficult amount to digest."

However, for fans passionate about Star Wars, this experience was praised as a "dream come true," and it was analyzed to have recorded the highest customer satisfaction among all Disney World programs to date.
