Disney just announced plans to open an immersive “Star Wars”-themed hotel. Fans of the franchise are encouraged to brace themselves for nothing short of an awesome experience.
Disney dropped the news on super-fans this past weekend at the D23 expo in Los Angeles but have otherwise kept the details on the hotel light, TechCrunch reported.
Every hotel guest will get a storyline that will “touch every single minute of your day,” and each staff member will be in costume and character, according to Disney.

Digital “windows” throughout the hotel will only show outer space, since the hotel is meant to be set on a spaceship, Disney announced.
So far, Disney only has plans to open the hotel in Orlando.
Fans took to Twitter to express their excitement for the experience:

Disney also announced plans for a “Guardians of the Galaxy” ride, a “TRON” ride and plans for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary at the expo on Saturday.
May the force be with the Imagineers tasked to make the hotel a place where dreams come true in a galaxy far, far away.
