Disney is closing its Star Wars-themed hotel after just a year. It cost around $5,000 for a two-night stay.

• Disney is closing the expensive Star Wars-themed hotel at its Disney World resort in Florida.
• The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel will close its doors in September.

Disney is closing its expensive Star Wars-themed hotel in Florida later this year, with the "final voyages" set for September.

Disney put a positive spin on the closure, with a spokesperson telling Insider: "Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment."

The "final voyages," as Disney calls them, will be September 28-30, the company said.

A message displayed to guests on the resort's website says the company is "so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for Guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months. Thank you to our Guests and fans for making this experience so special."

Disney said it will halt bookings on the hotel until at least May 26 as they address guests who already have a reservation booked for after September 30, who will be contacted about other options like moving the dates of their stay.

The experience garnered some positive reviews, as the company said it received the highest guest satisfaction ratings in the history of the Florida theme park.

Several visitors also wrote about their experiences for Insider, but the average two-night price tag of about $5,000 was often criticized by many as too costly for the average family vacation.

Disney began offering discounts on the two-night, immersive Star Wars experience earlier this year totaling up to $700 off the package. But critics said from the time the prices were announced prior to the hotel's opening in March that over $6,000 for a family of four was an unrealistic price for two nights.

The two day experience took guests on a Star Wars-themed story featuring appearances from Star Wars figures including stormtroopers and various alien races, as well as actors playing popular characters from the movies including Kylo Ren, Rey, and Chewbacca.

Travel journalist Megan duBois covered the hotel's opening for Insider, and found that the experience took more than six years to bring from concept to opening, and included dozens of hidden references to the movies and books.
