Walt Disney World is closing its Star Wars-themed hotel one year after the space adventure attraction opened in Florida.
"We are so proud of all of the cast members and imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months," the company said in a statement. "Thank you to our guests and fans for making this experience so special."
Disney also said it's pausing the hotel's reservation portal until May 26 to focus on helping customers who made reservations for after the closing date.
Disney didn't disclose why it's closing the hotel or how much it spent to build the 100-room facility in Bay Lake, Florida.
