    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    It didn't take me out because I never left Batuu, but it contributed to a lot of later passengers treating it as a hotel. You go to Batuu to get a decoy stone or coaxium or a Holocron or tools. You don't go to get all the rides done. Their idea could work, but for myself I made choices based...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    This was something that drove me bonkers as a passenger. March 2022 everyone saw Batuu as a cruise excursion and treated it accordingly. By march 2023 people were treating it as their DHS day. They'd go to bed early and make it back onboard super late just to ride slinky dog. By my final cruise...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    200 seems about right. The atrium has a capacity of 400ish. I want to say 414 but I can't remember why that number comes to mind. Each cabin can't be full. There were people in the last few cruises who tried to add another name to their reservation, like a third or fourth to their cabin and...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Considering how many of us were on our 4th+ voyage on my last one, I'm gonna go with not many. The Starcruiser failed because it couldn't get people onboard for their first voyage. But once people got there and saw what it really was, they loved it.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Nothing to do with bragging. It's a farewell. The community of repeat voyagers -which is to say, people who loved this experience enough to do it multiple times- are devastated. Im sure some people tried for the final one, but the scramble to book before close was to get -any- date at all. I...

    New culinary creations coming to The Artist's Palette at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort - August 2023

    And here I remember loving the burgers down there. Id've happily spent my entire vacation (and allowance savings) at the arcade.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I was in a group that had Disney's approval to charter a sailing in January of 2024 for cosplaying adults only. It is definitely in part to the unsupervised roaming packs of children we experienced on our previous cruises. We had one shrieking "go first order" the entirety of the finale. Cast...

    New culinary creations coming to The Artist's Palette at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort - August 2023

    Oh I know, I'm from Buffalo. And I'm insane enough to ALWAYS believe that THIS time is going to be the time somewhere outside of Buffalo gets it right 😂 I don't mind Buffalonian food, or the attempt anyway, being on the menu at Saratoga. Lots of people think Buffalo is part of Canada, and/or...

    New culinary creations coming to The Artist's Palette at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort - August 2023

    Got my hopes up over the beef on weck. Its actually brisket on brioche. Standard brisket on a brioche hamburger bun. Hopefully the other new items are better.

    News Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023

    I went November 1 the year of the party pass and had an absolutely amazing time. Totally wild energy compared to the other parties. Skippers wished me a happy backside of Halloween

    News Disney Jollywood Nights - Disney's Hollywood Studios Holiday Season ticketed event

    I haven't gone to mvmcp since the firework change. I live near the parks and don't have kids so DHS is my way to enjoy a Disney holiday party that (hopefully) is mostly adults. With the lack of kids pricing and the overall adult vibe I really hope guests keep that in mind. I went to the ill...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    Which is the exact opposite of how they did it prior to 2020. Prior capacity closings would start with the stoppage of sales of tickets. Then they'd turn away single day ticket guests not staying at a Disney resort. AP and resort guests were the very last group turned away.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    People on these last cruises are bringing custom mini tissue packs. It's designed to forge a very quick, very deep emotional connection. It's going to be very intense these last few months. I do hope we see game elements pop up. I'd love for Raithe and Co to be added to the park in some way too.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I hope they make it some sort of day trip option, at least for a while. So people like me can return and reminisce, and so families like yours can get to experience a piece of it.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Disney's marketing was ABYSMAL when it came to Starcruiser. They treated it the same way the treated Pandora and Batuu. Starcruiser is a whole other level. They seemed to dump it at us like a star warsy...thing. I don't blame the people who saw the cabins and the lack of normal amenities and the...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    This had them. They just didn't choose to use them. Switching to twice a week "sailings" with one heavily discounted for kiddos would've crossed off most issues at once. Staff would be better rested/happier/safer, costs would be down, travelers condensed, and an informal split between those with...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Oh boy this could be a very long story. Ive gone three times, with a fourth booked. Your cabin, with an in room droid (AI) D3-09 who will have story specific messages for you. If you tell her it's your honeymoon, she will do a vow renewal. Each night at "bedtime" she will sing a lullaby or tell...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    You and I are saying the exact same thing from opposite ends. I got on a fourth cruise this September with friends I made on other cruises. And we're all just dumbfounded at the amount of people treating the Batuu excursion portion as their entire DHS day for their vacation. So in that way they...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I appreciate the concern, but I think it'll be okay. Passenger services cycles through every six months or so, mostly CPs, and because of the story structure it kind of can't work if they were to cut characters for some reason. (Nevermind the even worse press that move would bring!) Ironically...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Yes, for sure. And a lot of us moved trips up. My family had been part of the group chartering it in Jan 24 for an adults only, cosplayer voyage. From the various planning and costuming groups I'm in, it's a split between people pushing their planned trips up, people who had been scheduled...
