ORLANDO, Fla. - Grab your lightsabers!

During Tuesday's shareholder meeting, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bob Chapek spoke about the upcoming 'Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser' hotel.

"I am especially excited about the upcoming, new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel. It is truly unlike anything, anyone has done before," he said.

Walt Disney World previously said that the hotel will open in 2021 but an official opening date has not been announced yet.

They said that the resort will offer a two-night itinerary where all guests arrive and depart together, similar to a cruise ship.

When you get to the resort, you will reportedly enter a terminal and "blast off" from a launchpad onto the ship. When it is your time to visit the parks, the resort will transport you to 'Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge' at Hollywood Studios.

The Galactic Starcruiser will have all kinds of activities onboard, like lightsaber training.

The resort looks like a spaceship, and each "cabin" can sleep up to five people. Every window of the galactic hotel is said to have "a view of the galaxy beyond, with ever-changing vistas as the ship progresses from place to place."
