The High-Flying Death Of Disney’s Star Wars Hotel by Suzanne Rowan Kelleher
in Orlando at the end of September, just 19 months after opening, company executives did not immediately elaborate on what went wrong, framing the closure as merely “a business decision.”
Launched with tremendous fanfare in March 2022, the Galactic Starcruiser had spent the good part of a decade in development and took an estimated $400 million to build, according to Dennis Speigel, founder and CEO of International Theme Park Services, an industry consulting firm. The project ran over budget and the opening was delayed for various reasons, including the Covid pandemic, he says.
While guests have given the Galactic Starcruiser some of the highest satisfaction ratings in the 50-year history of Walt Disney World, not enough of them return for a second voyage. Some of the two-night voyages have been less than half full, according to reports, often causing Disney to consolidate two dinner seatings into one.

Flying drones and chasing data, Indigenous women in Guyana join fight against climate changeA small group of Indigenous women in northern Guyana are flying drones and chasing data to help understand climate change and stop the worst of its impacts. The young Amerindian women are scanning mangrove forests to watch for illegal cutting. They also hope to start collecting soil samples and mangrove litter soon to measure how much carbon is being sequestered in remote coastal ecosystems that have been out of reach for scientists. That work could nudge the government to create policies and programs to protect critical areas. And few places are as vulnerable to climate change as Guyana, where most of the population lives below sea level on a coastline that relies on a nearly 300-mile seawall built centuries ago.
