Hi there, Sarah - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our crew of planDisney panelists. We love helping Guests like you get all the information you need to plan your very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
Every Guest who joins a
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser adventure aboard interplanetary travel group Chandrila Star Line's legendary Halcyon Starcruiser will receive an exclusive MagicBand for use on board, during your crew's visit to Batuu, and beyond. At this time, no announcements have been made regarding if or when Halcyon Guests could be provided with a new
MagicBand+ instead.
MagicBand+ launches this week at Walt Disney World Resort, on July 27th, so there may be updated news to share from our friends at Chandrila Star Line at that time. To be honest with you, I would be very surprised if they didn't migrate to MagicBand+ at some point in the near future. One of the most exciting new adventures available at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at
Disney's Hollywood Studios is
Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters, exclusively available to Guests with MagicBand+. I'm assuming many Starcruiser Guests will want to try their skills at bounty hunting during their excursion to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, so I'm very hopeful that MagicBand+ will soon be available, at least as an option.
I'm excited to hEAR about your upcoming trip and I know you'll have a magical time. You'll also be visiting during the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, so if you end up having time to explore beyond Batuu and the Halycon, you'll encounter
exciting new attractions, entertainment, food, and so much more - get ready to make some magical memories!
I wish I could provide you with a solid answer right now, but as your voyage gets closer we may hEAR updates. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog, and know that you can always
reach out to your friends here at planDisney!Ryan J.
