I ended up in some "illegal" gambling ring after doing an evil mission and got to play in a tournament.. It was really cool. Def not worth 1.2k a night, If they could get the price down to 500-800 a night Id prob do it again just to pick different missions. We paid 1,200 a night per guest. So 2400 for a couple per night. 4800 total.

really, wtf is with people hauling the newborn off to di$ney land with their horde of crouch goblins. Listen, di$ney is absolutely the natural environment for crouch goblins, but wtf are peoples mission haulin the freshly harvested potato to the park? Is it a migration thing? Instinctual? Is it a "the children are now at the impressionable age where we take them to di$ney, just as my parents did. I shall follow in the ritual to haul them off, and attach my fresh spawn to my hip for the process." And I always feel bad for the newborn, cause getting hauled around that way is heckin stressful - you're supposed to den up with the harvested bean and nurture baby, and bond with baby. Not try to shove baby in Tiggers arms, cause no cast member wants that lawsuit

Yeah, they likely would've made more money if they didn't think in short-term greediness, pricing things a lot of money to make more money is a goofy thought process, it doesn't really work, at least not as well as pricing things lower does. If they priced it lower, more people will go there cause they'd be able to afford doing so, and as more people go, the money generated from it will surpass money made from the smaller amount of higher paying customers.

That is a reasonable fear to have. To be honest, it feels like this kind of job isn't going to be very present in times to come thanks to how Disney keeps tripping over its own feet. So long as they think that buying out companies to use their IPs is a good idea, they'll keep going down the hole. Unlike most people who seem delighted that this happens, I don't want this to happen. Disney is something that is supposed to give everyone creativity and delight with their creations. People seem twisted into this belief that burning everything we've had is a good thing because they can create something new. I just want to see people like your friend be creative, have fun with their work, and keep giving people a smile. Sorry, that was a lot, but that's kind of been weighing down on my mind.

So my best friend got to do this (for free mind you so take it with a grain of salt) but he LOVED it. You absolutely HAVE to be a big star wars fan to enjoy it, because the whole stay is just you being a part of the universe. A couple things you commented on, the screens in the room actually do show cool stuff, as other people complete their missions around the ship, your cabin window’s actually show stuff they are working on, so the whole “ship” is 100% interactive. For instance if someone is on a turret shooting at asteroids, the whole ship is going through an astroid field and you can see the blaster bolts shooting at asteroids. There is also secret rooms and stuff that have actors and stuff to do in them that aren’t even like advertised about so its very open world feeling as opposed to tour feeling. Now obviously the price was insane but after he got to do it, he and I immediately started saving to get to go in 2 years but obviously now we won’t get to :/

A major oversight with this thing was that by choosing to do it in the sequel trilogy and right after the last jedi, they alienized three quarters of the Star Wars fanbase because everybody already hated that shit so much that they wouldnt go to anything relating to the sequel trilogy. Just think for a second how cool it would have been if you were on the death Star or a Star Destroyer or the Jedi Temple and you could see your favorite Jedi like there is so ,much potential here for something awesome but they totally shit the bed by the making it some random ass spaceship that doesnt even feel like Star Wars it just feels like an off brand knockoff. It really is a shame because this idea had the potential to be incredible but because they still wanted to market their new trilogy they ended just making something that nobody would want to go to. And like your saying it was fun, the people that went had fun, its just that the single fact that it was in the sequel trilogy already eliminated 70% of the fanbase from going. Also btw Charlie was talking about only super fans of Star Wars going to this but I guarantee no super fan is going to this, no super fan would go to a sequel trilogy hotel that had bad marketing and was incredibly expensive unless they are going to make a review, its just not happening which is kinda funny seeing how Disney didnt realize that they actually had to make their movies good if they wanted people to come to a 6,000 dollar trip based solely on their movies. But because their movies were not enjoyed by the majority of the fandom and really the majority of the world, in turn that means the majority of the world is not gonna wanna go to this because it just keeps reminding them that nothing they love about Star Wars is here.

How could anyone justify this?

heres a fun fact about fine dining, the reason the plates are so small and expansive is they spend months perfecting those annoying menus, wasting alot of food in the process, and since they need to make profit off that practise and all the waste they made, they make small beautiful portions at a very high price, so they can still make profit. been working with fine dining for years and its horid.

The magic in Disney died long ago. I was born and raised in SoCal and me and my family would regularly go to Disneyland since I was a literal infant, and just this spring we went to Disney World for the first time. For me the magic wasn't the location or all the rides we went on, it was just the fact that I was having a good time with my family and making lasting memories with them. I considered myself blessed by God for growing up in a family that went on annual trips since before I was born, an example being we would go to Yosemite every single spring until my freshman year in high school, but in the case with corporate themed hellholes like Disneyland/World, I only got joy from being with the people I loved and having a great time. I also heard my acceptance to the college of my dreams in the Avatar section of the Animal Kingdom, so there's that too. But personally, there really isn't that break from reality in the parks anymore that gave it so much life and whimsy. It's all marketing.

I worked at Disney World and I learned the main thing Walt wanted was an affordable place for people to take their families. Ever since his passing they wanted more and more money so now it’s just gift shops and monetizing ANYTHING. Hell, my family and I got together for frozen 2 and when we saw that little lizard we immediately said “they added this lizard so they could make plushies and sell it.” What did they do? Make plushies and sold em. It’s disgusting now. They don’t care about family or magic anymore. Whenever you get a magical moment it’s because of the cast member not the corporation. I made magic cause I liked seeing people have a good time, and it’s been so easy to make it because everything is so pricey. When I saw a very dehydrated person I gave out free water cause why would you pay $3.50 - $5.00 to survive the Florida heat? It’s disgusting.

Companies like EA or Disney could produce the sloppiest piece of work that they have ever done and still make money off of it back in the 2000's or early to mid 2010's because their name on the product was enough to sell it to a lot of the consumer base, so they did that. Now a lot more people are wary of what they produce after being fed slop for years, the out of touch executives think that it is just a phase and the customer will still buy whatever they are selling.

In actual fine dining restaurants, the ones with tiny portions are typically because you’re getting 8-12 courses as part of a pre fixe menu. I have eaten at quite a few places with menus and portions like that and neither me nor my husband have ever walked away hungry. They give you lots of good quality food, they just focus on the fact that your tongue basically goes blind to the flavor of a dish after you’ve taken a few bites, so they give you a wide variety of flavors instead. The main courses of those menus are usually bigger though just to ensure you leave feeling satiated.

Rumors between cast started saying it was gonna be 1k a night and we were mostly laughing because there's a loooooot of Disney bloggers that spreads lots of bullshit. But when it was revealed, you noticed a lot of us just... Not talking about it anymore. Disney's priority since return from covid. They've worked cast to the bone, many departments had a year + of mandatory 6 day work weeks. I even had to take a hit on my attendance just to go to a scheduled operation. It was nice, covid brought out so much soul sucking behavior. They removed locations (called hubs) so staff was getting more and more randomly assigned to places/areas they never did. Guests were regularly getting abandoned for hour-hour 1/2 waiting for a bus. Disney stopped giving a shit about a lot, but especially the cast. Union has done nothing but let it get worse. People have speculated the union is in their pocket now days.

As someone who stayed there (it was my Dad’s 50th birthday present, I surely wasn’t gonna pay for it), here’s my thoughts. Tl;dr: there were definitely some cool parts, but other parts were a little lackluster and others outright shit. So overall I think it was definitely overpriced. Things I really liked: - The bridge simulation and all the mini games in it were really cool and I had an absolute blast with them. The lightsaber training activity was also pretty cool. - The food was honestly pretty good, even some of the weirder stuff tasted pretty good. - All the staff did a really good job of staying in character, even down to the wait staff at the diner table help sell the environment. - The environment of the hotel itself was really impressive in person. Things I’m mixed on: - The room: the space was plenty enough for the 4 of us, the bed I slept on was plenty comfortable and the space window thing was cooler in person. That being said the robot you could contact on the panel was lame, and could only respond to basic prompts. Being a Computer Engineer with a concentration in machine learning and knowing what generative models like ChatGPT are capable of AND how much resources the imagineering team has their disposal, this was a wasted opportunity for sure. Things I hated: - The whole interactive quest line thing was lame as fuck. It was basically a bunch of IRL fetch quests, and you could choose to side with the rebels or empire but it ultimately didn’t fucking matter. There were a few areas locked behind progression in these quests, but you could get in anyways by tagging along with someone who had access. The stuff you did with the phone was also gimmicky in very lame way. Just a really stupid idea all round.

$6000 to do nothing. $6000 to sit in your room all day until you either go get a meal or do a scheduled activity like “light saber training” for your kid or go meet one of Disney Trilogy characters for an autograft. Remember folks, this whole thing is built around the sequel trilogy, so it has nothing from the OT or prequels, no Darth Vader or Obi Wan or Clone Wars or any of the stuff people actually like.

I went a year ago who this is for is for people who want to feel like they are in the Star Wars universe. It was an enjoyable experience the theming of everything was incredible. The rooms imo were not that bad I think the idea was you spend more time outside of the rooms and interact with the actors and the interactive story. Im not the biggest star wars fan but I still had a great time. I can see where the price comes from, but I can't deny it is high. I think the high price also comes from the smaller group that gets to go which a smaller crowd is nice but have to pay a fortune. Going will only be worth it to people who love disney and want to be in the world of star wars otherwise it is just a big waste of money.

Personally I like the concept, including the constant dinner-theater thing, but Disney is already well outside my budget -- this was so INSANELY expensive that I knew I'd never get to see it [altho I didn't expect to see them close it in a year]. The other thing is that from what I saw from videos at launch, OFFICIAL videos, a lot of the set/props were super cheap and generic; not really what you'd expect for what was being touted as the ultimate Star Wars immersion. The gift shops in the parks looked more movie-ready than some of the Galactic Cruiser stuff. Overall, I feel like they executed poorly across the board -- they cheaped out, made it inaccessibly expensive, and didn't let it run long enough to maybe make money. Companies are so focused on instant profits that they seem to forget sometimes you need to spend money in the short term to make money much longer term...

The portion sizes for fine dining is usually because of how many courses there are and how calorie dense the food are. You can have a 10 course meal and each plate of a bite size food is like 300 calories, at the end of the course you're 3000 calories full of wine and butter.

That's wrong. Lucas never would have wanted that. Lesson one: don't price out your fans. This is the result...

I truly believe that this was a "trial" for a larger scale, Star Wars themed Disney cruise ship. Everything we see fits into the cruise vacation demographic: communal dining, modular rooms... even the "boarding cue" is exactly the same. Versus dumping money into an actual custom ship on a wing and a prayer, they created this much reduced scale experience. This wouldn't be the worst idea in the world, were it not for Disney taking advantage of the fan base by charging them an exorbitant amount of money and not revealing that they're actually "test subjects."
