Travellers heading for the Disney Wish can now drop their younglings at Star Wars: Cargo Bay, part of Disney’s Oceaneer Club where kids age 3 to 12 can experience and meet an entire menagerie of galactic pals and learn about these amazing creatures from across the galaxy.
Walking into the space is like being on a ship within a ship. The low ceilings provide a cozy feel, just the right height for younglings but spacious enough for adults. The dark room is punched with brightly lit buttons, and wall panels become beacons for interactivity, each knob and switch begging to be pushed and pulled as if you’re on a working vessel.
Every corner has something to look at, from working screens to astromech parts at the droid building station, but it’s the creatures that truly capture the imagination. Along with the aforementioned Loth-cat and porg, there are species from planets throughout the galaxy, even as far away as Atollan. The remote planet’s native dokma with its distinctive eyes sits waiting for interaction, while Tatooine’s own worrt is caged and probably for good reason.
Eagle-eyed guests will notice small details like a hidden porg nest, which can mean only one thing: creatures are definitely loose aboard this ship. While those creatures are ready to be studied, others lie in wait and are not as easily found. A nondescript pipe isn’t just room decor; a simple spin of the attached valve and ominous bubbles appear… signifying the fearsome dianoga is not far behind! Luckily, a thick wall of glass pipe separates you from the elusive beast.
