Walt Disney World is currently casting internally for “signature services” Cast Members for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
The position is casting out of the Disney Reservation Center. These “white glove service” Cast Members would help ensure guests have everything they need for the perfect vacation (which will be important give the cost to stay at this luxury experience). The service can help with anything from tickets and dining reservations, to recreation and more, perhaps offering what typical guests may not have access to booking.
Earlier this month, Disney began casting actors, stunt performers, and musicians for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. The hotel will offer a two-day, two-night immersive experience in which guests participate in their own “story” within the Star Wars universe and visit Batuu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Now if we can get basic concierge services at the resorts that already have a Club level.
I think Mr. Krabs tried to turn The Krusty Krab into a hotel that tried this, it did not end well.
I’ve booked suites over the last few years and even have a suite reservation coming up for the 4th of July. While they are pleasant enough on the phone when you call, signature Services draws upon the same inventory as the general public and they don’t even pretend to pull special rabbits out of special hats to accommodate requests. It’s a totally non-value added service.
Especially in this context, if you’re in the star cruiser for dung s bazillion dollars fo you want a reservation for Tony’a Town Square?
What does Tony’s Town Square have to do with Star Wars? This is a very specific experience, and Main Street, USA and Lady and the Tramp have nothing to do with Star Wars. This experience is all based on the Star Wars universe.
Whether that’s a wise move for Disney remains to be seen, but do you want a Rebel or a member of the First Order to make you a reservation for an”off-planet” restaurant when you have the capability of making your own reservation? That just seems silly. Do your homework, and make your own reservation. R2-D2 isn’t going to hold your hand. R2-D2 doesn’t even have any hands for you to hold.
Signature Services has the same access as the general public because you ARE the general public.What makes you think you have special accesses that others don’t have? Just because you bought a more expensive room doesn’t exempt you from the same rules as everyone else. And what an arrogant way of thinking you have. Also, if you paid “dung s bazillion dollars” (whatever the heck that means) for a resort that hasn’t even been fully built yet, since the Star Wars Cruiser is still a long way from completion, you may want to talk to your travel agent, because (a) they booked you in a hotel that isn’t even open, and (b) NO Walt Disney World room costs “dung s bazillion dollars.” Or whatever you meant by that nonsensical phrase.
You’re like the guy I had at Disneyland who was upset that the Matterhorn was closed for refurbishment on the fifth day of their stay (but had been open the previous four days of their stay, then closed for a publicly-announced refurbishment). They claimed that it was the ONLY reason they visited from Ohio — and yet on the last day, when the attraction was there for the four previous days and they never rode it. and when it was closed for refurbishment on the fifth day, they got mad and claimed that I, as an ice cream vendor, personally ruined their vacation because it was closed, which had been announced.
Why would you expect special treatment over other guests, unless you’re shelling out for a VIP tour? You’re one of tens of thousands in the park on whatever day, so what makes you special? And again, what the heck does Tony’s have to do with Star Wars, and why do you expect a Star Wars character to make your reservation for you when everyone else figured out how to make their own reservations to something that has nothing to do with something in a completely different park? Do you need someone to hold your hand in the parks as well?
Why would people need services such as “tickets and dining reservations”? They don’t need tickets or dining, they are stuck in the hotel for 2 days where dining is already included, and they have nowhere to go to use any tickets. Everything is supposed to be provided for. Or maybe it isn’t? They will charge even more after the horrendous amount of money for the hotel? Maybe the food is included, but for more money you get even better food? Or the experiences are included, but there are also upcharge ticketed events within the hotel? Or maybe this is for after the two days are done, when the guests are kicked out, they services help people figure out where to stay and what to do? Is this like the concierge level at deluxe hotels? Anyway, this hotel is weird.
For your trip beyond the 2.5 days on the ship.
I am waiting to see how much it costs, and if it does cost as much as rumored ($3000+ per night), I want to see how many people will stay there. I think the hotel needs to be $1000 a night for a family of 4, food included, and then the hotel will be filled. $3000 a night is way too much. In any case, I think Disney will lower the price if there isn’t enough demand.
Personally, I can afford to do it, just once, if I am interested enough, but I feel nothing for this hotel. The concept bores me: unknown starship with unknown characters. Now, if we were staying in the Death Star, say, with Luke, Leia, Han and Darth Vader in there, then I’ll be happy to fork over the money. But I don’t know what a “galactic starcruiser” is, so I feel no motivation.
It’s a set number of days so I doubt they’d charge per night, probably more like cruise charging. If it’s around $3,000 total for a family of 4 for the 2 nights and includes meals, activities, and entrance to Hollywood Studios, it might not be considered that unreasonable for many. Considering how much people already pay to stay at deluxe resorts and for the other costly add-ons I think it’ll be popular no matter the cost.
