Walt Disney World, in Florida, is probably the most famous amusement park in the world. Visitors to the park buy an entry ticket, visit exhibits, go on rides and eat in restaurants inspired by the entertainment company’s characters and movies. At the end of the day, people can go home, or if they live far away, spend the night in one of the many hotels inside or close to the amusement park. But starting this week, visitors who enjoy the Star Wars movies can do something a little bit more “immersive,” as the park officials say. The park now offers a two-day imaginary trip on a Star Wars spaceship called The Halcyon. The new attraction, “Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser,” opened on March 1. It costs about $2,500 per person to experience the imaginary world created by filmmaker George Lucas. Guests can talk to robots and meet famous characters, like the large, hairy Wookiee, Chewbacca. The ”trip” begins with captain and crew welcoming the guests onto The Halcyon. They tell the visitors that the characters Han Solo and Princess Leia vacationed on the ship right after they were married. Crew members will teach visitors how to use the weapons of the Star Wars story: lightsabers. They can work to fight attacks from the ship’s control center. Visitors are permitted to come onto the ship wearing clothing from the movies.
