The new permit is for 211 S Studio Dr, which is not the main hotel but the adjacent administration building. In the aerial photo above, the administration building is the smaller building on the left.

As usual, the permit expires in one year. Like a permit filed last summer, it contracts Balfour Beatty for “General construction.”

The Imagineering offices will support major construction projects throughout Walt Disney World Resort like Monstropolis at the nearby Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Piston Peak National Park and Disney Villains Land at Magic Kingdom.

The immersive cruise-style Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience opened on March 1, 2022. It was met with mixed reviews, generally agreeing with our own review stating the live entertainment was magical and the overall experience changed the industry for the better but it was overpriced. It ultimately closed permanently on September 30, 2023. Read our look back at Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
