Summary
Welp. We did it. We went to space. Thanks to your support, a favor from a friend in Disney's gaming department, and our realization that our rainy day fund had finally found a storm worth being spent on, we flew down to Orlando and took in the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and stories of the Galactic Starcruiser.
This episode, recorded about a week after our visit to the Halcyon, is just one of two episodes we're releasing on our experience. The other will be a combined episode, exclusive for Patrons, that we recorded on Natalie's phone on nights 1 and 2 of the visit, which will drop next Wednesday, along with some photos from our trip! We've now made that post free for all listeners, over here on Patreon. Enjoy!
Hosted by Rob Zacny (@RobZacny)
Featuring Alicia Acampora (@ali_west), Austin Walker (@austin_walker), and Natalie Watson (@nataliewatson)
Produced by Ricardo Contreras (@a_cado_appears)
Music by Jack de Quidt (@notquitereal)

| 0:00.0 | Let us return once more to a more civilized age a Star Wars podcast. I'm Rob Zachary |
| 0:13.2 | joined by Alia Campora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson. We are as always supported |
| 0:18.1 | by you, our listeners, by patreon.com slash civilized. So never have never has never |
| 0:23.9 | happened more true. |
| 0:25.9 | Oh boy, folks, you won't believe what you will because most of you probably already |
| 0:31.0 | know how the money is being spent. But anyway, that also gives you access to all our Q&A |
| 0:37.3 | episodes and gives us access to some of the silliest and weirdest experiences of our lives |
| 0:43.2 | or at least did in this case because as many folks have probably already seen and heard, |
| 0:48.9 | we took the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser last week, which is a soon to be shuttered |
| 0:55.3 | attraction at Disney World. I think we have discussed on the podcast or one of the patreon |
| 1:00.2 | shows before I can't recall those conversations exactly, but I'm pretty sure they were along |
| 1:04.9 | the lines of this looks cool, but it's so ridiculous, expensive. There's no way we'd |
| 1:11.3 | never do that. And yet here we are. So let's just set the table here on the off chance |
| 1:18.9 | you're not familiar with what is this thing? What is the Galactic Star Cruiser? Well, |
| 1:23.9 | the Star Cruiser is a hotel decorated and equipped to look like a luxury passenger ship |
| 1:29.5 | in the Star Wars universe. The primary way they arrive at this is there are no windows |
| 1:34.4 | inside. Instead, every window looks into a display showing starfields and spaceships flying |
| 1:39.5 | past as the Star Cruiser Halcyon goes on its trip around the Star Wars universe. But |
| 1:45.4 | while you were aboard, you also take part in an immersive theater experience. Everything |
| 1:49.5 | aboard ship is in universe and that is supposed to extend to the passengers who are encouraged |
| 1:54.3 | to roleplay as a character in the Star Wars universe. On the first night, I don't mean |
