Walt Disney World is closing its Star Wars-themed hotel one year after the space adventure attraction opened in Florida.
Disney announced the closing of Halcyon on its website late Thursday, saying the final guest stay will be September 30. Anyone who previously booked a stay for after September 30 should contact Disney to modify their reservation, the company said.
"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."
