Star Wars fans have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the upcoming Walt Disney World Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel since the project was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo in Anaheim.
The new Star Wars hotel, which is set to open for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration in 2021, has seen some major construction progress recently.
Today, Twitter user @bioreconstruct shared multiple images of the new Star Wars hotel site.
