Bright Suns, Mark!
It's nice to see you here at planDisney and I'm so glad you've found your way back with another question. I have a confession to make –– I haven't always been much of a
Star Wars fan. Until recently, my experience extended as far as seeing the original films (many years ago), and that was about it. But I have to tell you, that all changed as soon as I walked through the gates of
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Even as a member of the uninitiated, the incredible theming and details instantly made me feel like I had been transported to a galaxy far, far away. Because of that experience, I returned home and decided it was time to give these intergalactic adventures a chance, and now I'm happy to report that I've been fully converted to
the cause of the Resistance. I'm excited to hear that you're planning a trip to Batuu during your next Walt Disney World Resort visit and I hope you love it as much as my family and I do!
Speaking of
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, the magic of this incredible land wouldn't be possible without the innovative partnership between Walt Disney World Resort and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. And because of this relationship, I know that in the past, Hewlett Packard maintained a corporate lounge inside the land for the use of its employees and special guests. As it sounds like you already know, the lounge was closed several years and after speaking with Cast Members and doing a little research on my own, it looks like the lounge hasn't reopened yet. And while this may change in the future, to my knowledge, an announcement about the lounge's reopening hasn't been made at this time. For more information about potential plans for the lounge, you may try reaching out to the Human Resources Department at Hewlett Packard Enterprise –– they might be able to share some insight about future plans that are in the works.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you more information, Mark, but I really appreciate you visiting planDisney and I'm wishing you lots of pixie dust during your next
Walt Disney World Resort visit.
Till The Spire,
Amy
