Summary

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is an immersive 2-night adventure that opened at Walt Disney World in March 2022. Disney calls Galactic Starcruiser the most immersive Star Wars story ever created, and it's an accurate statement. This overnight experience combines elements of a cruise, a theme park, and an interactive stage show. Guests who board the Halcyon will truly feel as if they've stepped into a Star Wars story and will be fully immersed nonstop from beginning to end (it might sound like hyperbole but is quite an accurate statement, as you'll find out in this episode). In this two-part podcast episode, I chat with Stephanie & Danny Shuster, owners of WDW Magazine, to learn about their experience aboard the Halcyon. Part 1 includes a discussion of their Disney media preview day, the booking process, arrival and departure, and dining. In part 2, we'll discuss the state rooms, merchandise, itinerary, story, and recommendations for guests considering Galactic Starcruiser. We also discuss who would find this experience most enjoyable and why if you're a frequent visitor to Walt Disney World it might even be worth replacing one of your Walt Disney World vacations with this revolutionary journey.

0:52.2	I'm your host, Matthew Krull, and you're listening to Episode 132 of the
0:57.8	Imagineer podcast. In this podcast episode, we're going to kick off a two-part discussion all about Star Wars Galactic
1:05.2	Star Cruiser. This is the brand new two-night immersive adventure, the first of its kind, that opened at Walt Disney World
1:12.0	in March of 2022, and long before it even opened its doors. There has been so much chatter
1:18.6	among Disney fan communities about this experience, a lot of hot debate about whether or not
1:23.9	this experience is worth the price, who it's for, who it's not for, what's
1:28.6	included, what's not included. There are so many questions and so many ideas that are
1:32.7	discussed that I thought it was worth coming to the table to chat with two people who
1:38.3	actually experienced it. So my guests on this two-part episode are Steph and Danny Schuster
1:43.4	from WDW Magazine. I've shared
1:45.4	before that they are a partner and sponsor of Imagine Your Podcast, and I'm an author for
1:51.3	WDW Magazine. Be sure to check them out. But I not only brought them on because of our
1:56.1	relationship and partnership, but also because Steph and Danny are lifelong Star Wars fans who not only participated in the media preview, but also because Stefan Danny are lifelong Star Wars fans who not only
2:02.0	participated in the media preview, but also invested their own dollars, their own time,
2:07.3	to do the full two-night adventure as regular guests aboard Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser.
2:14.1	In this two-part discussion, we talk about everything, and well, I should say
2:18.3	not exactly everything, but we talk in great detail about their experience aboard the Halcyon
2:23.5	to really help you to make an informed decision in a very rational way as to whether or not
2:29.5	this experience is worth it for you. We talk in part one about the booking process. We talk a little
