Chandrila to Kirkland

I got my hands on one of the tie-in books that relate to the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience we did at Disney World.




They did a really good job of capturing some of the magic of the real hotel. The elevator/shuttle ride from the ground to the ship was very well done in the real life version.





This I thought was cool because they tied in several adventures that Star Wars characters had on the ship. This in particular was especially cool. There's a lightsaber battle and they scratch the wall while they're fighting. At the real hotel, then, there was a big scratch on the wall from the fight. Disney did a really good job placing the location within the Star Wars universe and gave some extra depth and lore to hardcore people in the know.




I may have already mentioned but I was similarly excited by the book The Princess and the Scoundrel because there they mention Han scratching his and Leia's initials on a pipe in the engineering room and you could see that on the real ship as well. There were fun easter eggs waiting for the nerds which I appreciated.
