2 — Big Star Wars Hotel News
This week was a big one when it comes to Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (a.k.a. Star Wars hotel) news! We got a ton of updates as select individuals got the chance to actually play test the experience in Disney World.
Here’s what we’ve learned: First, we got some big information about just how “real” the lightsabers are and what the lightsaber training experience will be like.

We also got to learn about a little opening ceremony guests will see, a story point where guests might get the chance to save a famous Wookiee, and more about being on the “ship.”

Some myths about the hotel’s rooms got DEBUNKED, and we also got some updates about just how big those bunk beds are.

We also learned what items you’ll be able to buy there, and what special lightsaber you will NOT be able to bring home.

If you’re worried about spending all of your time on this “ship” with windows out to space and no open air spaces, Disney’s thought of that too and developed a clever solution.

5 — Cirque du Soleil’s New Disney-Themed Show Has Opened
If you’re looking for a unique Disney experience outside of the parks, Cirque du Soleil’s new “Drawn to Life” show might be for you! The show opened this week (on November 18th) with some celebrity appearances (UNCLE JESSE WAS THERE).
Drawn to Life
The show itself follows the story of a young girl who goes on a journey to finish a piece of animation left to her by her father who has passed away.
