This was such a fun conversation for multiple reasons. First, we were able to speak with Len Testa of the Disney Dish Podcast and Touringplans.com! Len is a legend among Disney podcast aficionados and his experience creating and leading the team at Touringplans.com & mastering the science of navigating the theme park world is literally second to none. Second, we were able to hear first hand and share with you about some of the fun he had on the inaugural voyage of the Halcyon.

In case you have been trapped in the Climate Simulator too long, Martin & Kristine have been working with a team of Galactic Starcruiser superfan rockstars for the past year to plan and hold Halcy-Con 2024, the first convention completely dedicated to this amazing experience. The event was held in Kissimmee, FL a week before this episode's release and Martin & Kristine share all about this spectacular gathering.

One year ago as this episode is released, we were onboard the Halcyon for our last voyage. In this episode, we look back on the experience, discuss what it meant to us, and share memories of that trip. We also look ahead to the future of the Starcruiser Superfans Community and its incredible creativity that continues to flourish!

While the Galactic Starcruiser experience was essentially a live action video game, what would it be like as an ACTUAL video game?

We invited our good friend Patty Rattay to chat with us about what sorts of video games we could imagine in the Halcyon universe.

This is the second part of our extended conversation with Ben Crane and boy, did we have a fun chat. We covered D23 Park Announcements, Epic Universe, our favorite monsters, and even Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida.

Many of you will know Ben from his performances in the Orlando area including the theme parks and concerts in local venues throughout the city. He's a vital member of the Starcruiser community that we're all very familiar with. If you know - - you know!!!

Also, don't forget about  the upcoming series of events Ben is hosting at Sun on the Beach in Kissimmee called Rad Retreat. Rad Retreat is a weekly pop culture party with themed events, cosplay, vendors, fans, and most importantly - fun!

Sheri & Stuart Clifford run the HalcAnon Facebook group. They host both in-person Orlando meetups as well as frequent Zoom calls for fans of the Galactic Starcruiser experience. 

We also spend a couple of minutes chatting about our feelings around the recent D23 park announcements about Smuggler's Run.

What would a cruise in the Star Wars universe be without a little sabacc? In this rebroadcast episode, we sat down with Stephen and Jeremy, the former leaders of the Outer Rim Sabacc League Facebook group. This group of nearly 2000 members enjoys all things sabacc and have come together over this fun game pulled straight from the page and silver screen.

In March of 2024, Stephen and Jeremy passed leadership of the group to Mike & Emily over at Hyperspace Props. The group is still going strong and is a lot of fun to visit.
