That was really cool…
It’s almost like somebody higher up decided that building a loyal park fanbase had longterm value, huh?
But I’m not from Denver

I won’t bash vloggers and claim them the root of everything. Nor will I be “too” harsh on “adult Disney fans” - as the term was just recently coined - who comprised the first wave of travelers….So we can't use vloggers as they're biased? We can't use anyone who pays because they're sycophants? That leaves just those who haven't been to review it, how would they know?
If you search youtube under 'Honest, In-Depth Review of the Star Wars: Glactic Starcruiser with Tom Corless', you'll get a review from a guy who's at war with Disney. He's paid and has no reason to lie and every reason to slate it, he makes a lot of money slating Disney. I'll leave it there but it is possible to say that they've produced a good product but maybe mismanaged it rather than just 'assume' it's not good. Take care, it's my bedtime
But I kinda submit that from a business/success standpoint of this…Those we’re obviously the easy sells and now the real viability of this will be seen.
And therefore the game just started.

Yeah, they are trying to do the Discovery Cove like method to make it more appealing, but it is not just that giving and does not have that much appeal.

Well the discount isn’t good. Not close yet…
And I noticed the dates are 2/5-9/30…
So next week and for the next six months.
So can we put to rest the “do we really know if it’s failing?” Nonsense up thread?
It’s failing for sure…but to penguins point it is not yet a “failure”. There’s time.

And buy the way…the $250 for discovery cove for the day is a great time. I highly recommend that

Not really…
They’re excluding the ones they think they can sell at normal price.
That’s how all Hotel deals work…target to bring up the margins.
The most interesting is they’ll cancel the backend if you don’t take the love boat…
That’s awesome
…better call a hostage negotiator and have them on standby

I don't think this is the watershed thing others might think it is. It isn't a price break on the GS at all.

It’s trying to get people there without making it look like they’re having trouble getting people there.

Well, if you figured out their ruse here I'm not sure they did a good job of 'without making it look like...'.

Disney's model has always been to price as high as possible and then fill spots with discounts. Free dining and room discounts tend to happen every year at exactly the same time, yet people don't rush to say WDW is failing every time this happens.
To what degree the StarCruiser succeeds, fails, has to be modified, etc. is really still in a 'to be determined' phase.
It's ridiculously premature to be concluding otherwise.

All Disney discounts have been either to build fans longterm or to sell what they can’t sell based on forecast.
You don’t need cia clearance for me to tell you this

So this is an apples to apples thing?
Ok…let’s see it play?
There is one angle where we might agree…recession/travel damage control mode.

The point is we don't know. There's a lot of armchair quarterbacking happening even though we don't know things like what Disney needs in terms of revenue/capacity to make this worthwhile in its' present state.
Maybe they already exhausted the target audience. Maybe they haven't. Maybe it's sustainable at 70% or 80% or whatever of the current cost. Maybe it's not.

Indeed…
Let’s see it play?
I believe I made the same suggestion on movies bout 5 years back…

The nice thing about wanting to see it fail is I suppose you have a backend timeline of 'forever' for it to happen.

That has to stop too…
The “wanting it fail” excuse…Also known as “my poor Disney
”One person legitimately said that here in a troll post. No one else has. RIF
Wanting them to do a much better job, provide better value and serve their audience is not wishing for failure. Neither is the value of learning lessons.
Time for the adult pants.
