Confirmed: Shuttered ‘Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser’ Becoming Walt Disney Imagineering Offices. There is a lot of Imagineering happening at Walt Disney World right now with the removal of Muppets Courtyard, and its replacement a new Monsters Inc. Land opening in 2027. The Disney Imagineering list of projects at Walt Disney World is extensive. Today word spread that the Walt Disney Imagineering team would take over the closed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser as office space.

There is a lot to unpack here and to save you all time reading, a report came out earlier today on TheWrap.com “According to several sources, including an individual close to the company, the building that formerly housed the immersive adventure (located near Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World) is being converted into offices for Walt Disney Imagineering, the secretive arm of the company responsible for theme park attractions, retail locations, and cruise ships.” which reads like it is rumor and speculation. Which is how we read into things, and that is our mistake.

A few hours later the change was verified by Disney to Attractions Magazine that this was indeed the plan. Disney will turn the shuttered, much-loved, but maligned, closed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser into office space for Walt Disney Imagineering. This brings the offices almost into view of the Monsters Inc. Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser in our best description: Imagine Disney World, but instead of just riding rides, you get to live inside a Star Wars story for two days. You stay in a fancy “spaceship” hotel, dress up in Star Wars clothes, interact with characters like they’re real, go on “missions” that affect the story, and even learn to wield a lightsaber.

Let’s move on from the much-discussed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser at Disney World. While we consider it one of the best interactive, real-life RPG, resort, and Star Wars/Disney experiences we’ve ever had, we don’t need to rehash the entire debate. Opinions on the Starcruiser are already firmly entrenched. Those who experienced it firsthand, particularly those who could afford the voyage, likely found it lived up to or exceeded expectations. The primary point of contention remains the cost, with some labeling the whole thing a failure based solely on that factor.

Walt Disney Imagineering is the creative team behind all the magic you see at Disney parks and resorts. They’re a group of talented artists, engineers, and storytellers who dream up and build everything from rides and attractions to entire themed lands. They’re the folks who turn fantasy into reality at Disney!

Let’s look at why Imagineering needs more space. In the next few years, Walt Disney World will continue to undergo a massive transformation. In the Magic Kingdom, Frontierland will be changed forever, with the removal of Tom Sawyer Island, the Rivers of America, and the Liberty Belle. Making way for a new Cars-Themed Land, plus the upgrade of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Magic Kingdom will also see the addition of brand-new land-themed Disney Villains with new attractions, shops, and eateries.

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Dinoland USA is being replaced with a new Casita based on the Disney Animation movie Encanto. A new Disney Animal Carousel, along with Dinosaur! will be rethemed to Indiana Jones. Plus, the Tree of Life show “It’s Tough to be a Bug” is being replaced by Zootopia: Better Zoogether! show.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which the new offices are located near, will see the Muppets Courtyard be completely removed and replaced by Monster Inc land, but Muppet fans don’t fret too much because Rock n’ Roller Coaster is being rethemed to The Muppets and it looks like Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem will be the stars. Furthermore, an upgrade to The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, and the new show called Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After.

This is not even the whole list.
