Some people still don't seem to understand the concept that companies (ESPECIALLY IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY) will charge what the market will bear, and when there's massive pent up demand for something, not everyone will be able to afford such a limited supply offering. WDW vacation in the first...

Nah, that guy eventually relents- what a weakling. :p The only thing I like less than hearing Christmas music in stores in Nov/Dec (and now late October/early January apparently, uuuugh) is hearing it played on Main Street.

Does anyone else remember the Explorer's Club at Disneyland Paris? A table service eatery where in-character CM's interacted with animatronic birds during your meal. It's now Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost (and still a very well done eatery by the way). I can't find any videos of the original...

Jessica Rabbit's walk around character always looks like a blow up doll. I guess that's not much of a stretch given the source material. :geek:

Grew up riding those things! Got even better when they switched to Soap Box Racers (the motorbikes were uncomfortable). The curse of the Soap Box Racers and the curse of Whirlpool still haunts that land and every garbage attraction that's taken their place. (Windjammer, Headache, Headspin...

And then there are people like me who shudder at the prospect of more Christmas being inserted. Can't stand any of it, I don't get a warm/fuzzy feeling. Back in the day, I used to just avoid DLR for the most part around Christmas, and I still find myself annoyed when I have to hear/see Christmas...

You're assuming that everyone's going to have a fixed budget and a fixed visiting schedule. If this experience adds a day to the average visit (seems inevitable), and that extra day results in even higher margins ($500 per guest per day) then that's just a massive win for Disney. If people who...

You're right, but people are spending hundreds a day even at base level if they're not locals (meals, hotel, paying for the event, buying merch, and even visiting the parks). If anything I'd think those people get far less for that price then what's going to be offered here (if it gets built...

Disney is obviously going to have to stagger the timing in order to keep everyone occupied. I feel like overlapping stories is going to be necessary for that reason alone. If it's 500 rooms, then you've got something like 250 groups of people each day, which translates to 25 groups per hour over...

The world's most visited park has an older, expensive to run attraction that is lightly visited. They have similar offerings a few hundred feet away (HoP and CBJ) that consistently outdraw it. They've already attempted an ill-fated overlay of the show that flopped. They "brought back the...

Bizzness... it's what DIzznee is.:eek: A multinational conglomerate that owns several of the world's most popular IP's, is consistently rated the world's most trusted brand and is currently slotted in at the 26th most valuable company on earth. People seem to struggle to grasp this when they...

Not true. I have it on good authority that NOBODY visits Walt Disney World for anything relating to IP. They're just shoving it down everyone's throats and forcing them to visit. :banghead::p:rolleyes:

Tower of Terror has its origins in the concept you're describing.

According to guest feedback, you're in the massive minority. Guests don't want modern or post modern storytelling. Guests don't want to see vague themes and stories that they need to piece together, and they don't want to "see behind the curtain". They want to be immersed in a multi sensory...

Would you be kind enough to provide examples of non-IP based attractions at Hollywood/MGM Studios throughout their history? While you're at it, you can expand that to almost all "Studio" parks on earth- they're literally IP showcases- all of them. I know it's fun for you to refer to the Studios...

Except they're clearly stating what they feel the pricing is going to be. And it's not obscene.

That's only going to be relevant to like .0001% of the visitors that happen to visit both resorts within that 6 month time frame.

Burn the heretic.

So let me guess: Luxury Star Wars boutique resort at Disney World connected to the new land, with unique/immersive story driven experiences in attractions, dining, lodging and character interactions for $500 per person per day = unreasonable/ridiculous/outrageous/evil/money grubbing Luxury...

For those who will cry foul over pricing, you're kidding yourself if you don't believe that something like this should cost under $1000 per person for 2 days/nights. The way I see it: For a group of 2 guests: "Star Wars Hotel" cost per room/night with deluxe amenities: $400 per night ($800...
