During Tuesday's shareholder meeting, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bob Chapek spoke about the upcoming 'Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser' hotel.

They said that the resort will offer a two-night itinerary where all guests arrive and depart together, similar to a cruise ship.
When you get to the resort, you will reportedly enter a terminal and "blast off" from a launchpad onto the ship. When it is your time to visit the parks, the resort will transport you to 'Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge' at Hollywood Studios.
The Galactic Starcruiser will have all kinds of activities onboard, like lightsaber training.
The resort looks like a spaceship, and each "cabin" can sleep up to five people. Every window of the galactic hotel is said to have "a view of the galaxy beyond, with ever-changing vistas as the ship progresses from place to place."
