Since Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser closed in 2023, many have wondered what would become of the themed building. It appears there may be some clarity now. The Wrap is reporting that the building is going to become offices for Walt Disney Imagineering and future projects at Walt Disney World Resort.
The building formerly known as the Halcyon will reportedly be a hub for Imagineers working on several projects that are coming to Walt Disney World Resort. This includes the Tropical Americas area at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with an Encanto and Indiana Jones presence, a new Cars-themed area at Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios new Monsters, Inc. area that will replace the space in and around Muppet*Vision 3D.
Disney has not confirmed this change for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at this time. After it was closed, Disney took a tax write-down. This would mean that Disney couldn’t use the building for a period of time.
Most of these projects are at an early phase of development so this could end up being the hub for multiple years as they come to fruition. This use of the building most likely means there won’t be any Star Wars experiences for guests to enjoy at the location anytime soon.
