Disney extends construction at former Galactic Starcruiser site

Disney has extended a construction permit for the former Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser property at Walt Disney World, allowing work to continue through August 25, 2027. The extension for the site at 201 S Studio Dr. involves Balfour Beatty Construction LLC as the contractor.

Following the permanent closure of the immersive Star Wars experience in September 2023, Disney announced in January 2025 that the building would be converted into office space for Walt Disney Imagineering. Current work includes the removal of original theming to facilitate this transition from a themed hotel and entertainment venue into functional administrative space.
