Walt Disney World to build Star Wars hotel
Walt Disney World used this weekend’s Walt Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim to announce it will build a Star Wars-themed hotel.
The hotel will be built at Walt Disney World in Orlando and has been described as ‘the most experiential’ luxury resort ever attempted by the company.
Chairman Bob Chapek said: "It’s unlike anything that exists today. We feel this could be the start of something very, very big."
Each guest will have their own unique experiences following their own individual storyline throughout their stay while dressed up in realistic Star Wars attire.
"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," Chapek added.
In the rooms ‘every single window has a view into space’.
There is no confirmed date yet on its expected opening.
Meanwhile Disney said the upcoming Star Wars themed lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will be named ‘Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge’.
