wait, so the whole thing isn't going to be housed in a big facade/shell to look like a space ship?

EDIT - nevermind, apparently you are then launched into space where you then board the ship...

I dunno...hubby's feet are usually right at the edge of a queen-size bed, and he's not even 6' tall...

Does your hubby normally sleep in the kid's bunkbeds?

 

[flynnibus]

LOL, yeah- I thought that too! But maybe it’s just that the opening is smaller than the bunk? Compared to the big bed, they seem to be about the same length (same padding on the headboard side, the foot of the bed pretty much aligning).

You can see inside the bunk in the first photo.. it's taken from inside the top bunk. You can see the opening extends slightly beyond the cutout.

These are basically junior beds... like the trundle bed in some of the newer hotels and like the bunk beds on the cruise ships.

Does no one else think that the hotel visuals and interactivity will take away some (or all) of the uniqueness of the attractions within GE? Diminishing the experience instead of adding to it?

No

You are sadly mistaken if you think adults won't try to sleep in those bunks!

 

[LastoneOn]

Am I the only one who thinks those bunks look REALLY short?

They do until you see they're the same length as the bed. Besides, how tall are your kids? these are for kids

I was holding out for the escape pod suite

Interesting the article mentions 2 nights. Is that the confirmed length of stay for this experience?

That's my thinking...

Yes, it actually says 2 nights on Disney's page for the hotel.

Anyone ever stay in the Fantasyland Hotel at West Edmonton Mall?

And more than one per bunk at a time.

Now THAT'S a proper cabin!

Can be quite cozy

 

[Parker in NYC]

I'm holding out for the Barbarella suite. Wall to floor carpeting and a dream. I can't believe that the kind of carpeting was bleeped! Yeah, baby.

 

[ThatMouse]

The room looks smaller than any room I've ever seen on prop.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

The renderings look awesome. But I'm not paying the cost of admission. Do they have a trash compactor room?

You've inadvertently hit on one of the problems (draws?) of the hotel--the kind of person who has $3k to spend on two nights in the Star Wars hotel may be expecting the full Jabba's Palace experience...

 

[DisneyTransport]

Not sure if this joke has been made before but...

Are the bargain bin rooms just the detention cell's like in New Hope?

... If so, I would 100% pay!

$1,500 a night on most cruise ships gets you something a little better than an inside stateroom.
