My family and I went on a two-night "voyage" on Disney World's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
The experience cost us about $6,550 and came with VIP perks, gourmet meals, and a cool room.
We loved doing the missions and exploring the "ship," and we'd consider going back.
My family of three spent $6,559.18 (including trip insurance) for a two-night stay on Disney's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the Halcyon.
The Starcruiser hotel is Disney World's new, immersive experience that might be best described as a combination of a hotel, dinner theater, choose-your-own adventure, and escape room. Although it's not necessary, you'll get more out of it if you choose to play along as part of the story.
Here's what our two-night "voyage" was like and why we'd do it again:
Our adventure began a little before 1 p.m. on the first day
Guests were encouraged to dress up in their "galactic best" during the experience, so my family wore "Star Wars"-inspired outfits. Many other guests did, too.
When we arrived at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser port, we were given special Magic Bands, called M-Bands on the ship. The plastic bands are used throughout Disney World and connect guests with their data using simple taps.
We also logged in to our Datapads, a program within Disney's Play app that's used to receive communications and missions from cast members, what Disney calls its employees.
A cast member also took our luggage, which was delivered to our room later in the afternoon.
From there, we were taken into a launch pod that brought us from the Starcruiser port to the Halcyon itself
The Halcyon was where our immersive experience took place, and it was designed to feel like we were on a ship in space as soon as we set foot inside.
Once we docked with the Halcyon, the launch-pod doors opened to show a spacious atrium.
We also saw the bridge, which was where the Halcyon was operated from.
