We have been covering the upcoming Galactic Starcruiser hotel near Disney’s Hollywood Studios. By now many of you have heard that the “transport” ships moving between the hotel and Batuu have switched from buses to box trucks. Even Universal was making fun of that one.
Now we have some aerial images of the area and a better look at the box truck vehicles thanks to @bioreconstruct on Twitter.
Now we have a better look at the box truck and the “docking area” which is just a big, blocky doorway. At least from the outside:

This is where it docks at Galaxy’s Edge:

It reminds me of when you get on and off an airplane and have to go on the docking ramp, which hopefully works better for this hotel experience than an actual docking ramp works at an airport.
Here is a look at the overview of the hotel area:

This image shows the hotel and the roadway around it that vehicles will take:

This is how the “transports” will move from the hotel to Galaxy’s Edge for the excursions in the area.

There is a look at the area and how guests will travel.
