Disney revealed the cost of staying at its new Disney World-based “Star Wars” hotel on Wednesday, and the two-night immersive adventure aboard the Starship Halcyon does not come cheap.

The hotel Galactic Starcruiser is the “most immersive Star Wars story ever created,” according to Disney, and runs as high as $6,000 for a two-night stay. Think of it as a Disney cruise but on land where you embark on your own one-of-a-kind “Star Wars” adventure.

The pricing includes a two-night stay in a cabin or suite, complete with “ongoing, immersive and interactive entertainment, where choices determine your experience,” your meals (excluding alcohol) and admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Activities include lightsaber training, operating the ship’s systems and controls, a trip to the planet Batuu and more.

Disney says trip “rates vary depending on your voyage departure date, the number of guests in your cabin and your cabin type.”

The hotel opens in spring 2022.
